Forward Image Registration for Higher Level Interpretation of Zircon Provenance Based on Combined CL, U/Pb Age, and Geochemical Data

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Most detrital zircon studies generate grayscale cathodoluminescence (CL) images, U/Pb dates, and variably extensive trace element concentration data. Yet the combined information contained in these data is rarely used for a higher‐level interpretation of zircon provenance, which still heavily relies on comparison of sample‐wide U/Pb age ...

Protracted High‐Grade Metamorphism and Slow Cooling in the Adirondacks Recalibrate Neoproterozoic Global Paleogeography

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The assembly and breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia set the stage for Earth system evolution through the Neoproterozoic Era. Laurentia, the central craton in Rodinia, lacks well‐dated paleomagnetic poles between ca. 990 Ma and 780 Ma. In this study, we develop new U‐Pb petrochronology and thermochronology data sets from zircon, garnet ...

The Roles of Climate and Tectonics in the Tectonomorphic Evolution of the Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) Region, Eastern Nepal Himalaya

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract To understand the interplay of climate and tectonics in driving long‐term erosion and landscape evolution in the Himalayan orogen, this study examines the tectono‐thermal evolution of the Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest)‐Rolwaling‐Okhaldhunga region in eastern Nepal.

Thinning and Heating of Laramide Continental Lower Crust Recorded by Zircon Petrochronology

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Zircon grains from the metasedimentary lower crust of the Rio Grande Rift, New Mexico, preserve a metamorphic record of the transition from Laramide compression to Eocene extension.

The Paleo‐Tethys Suture Zone in the Afghan Hindu Kush‒Pamir: Geo‐Thermochronology, Geochemistry, Tectonics

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In the Afghan Hindu Kush, the 223–209 Ma (≤800°C) Salang batholith is part of the Silk‐Road magmatic arc that was built on ∼40‐km‐thick Turan‐Karakum block continental crust. The batholith constitutes the hanging wall of the Herat‐Panjshir‐Badakhshan—the Paleo‐Tethys—suture zone, vestige of the subducted Paleozoic‐early Mesozoic Paleo‐Tethys ...

Rapid Transition From High‐Pressure Metamorphism to Exhumation Driven by Orogen‐Parallel Extensional Shearing (Adula Unit, Eastern Central Alps)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract In the Central Alps, the Adula unit exposes high‐ and ultra‐high‐pressure (HP‐UHP) metamorphic rocks, providing key insights into the subduction and exhumation dynamics of the former distal European margin. We investigate the San Bernardino Shear Zone (SBSZ), a top‐to‐the‐east extensional shear zone developed within orthogneiss and paragneiss ...

U-Pb and trace element zircon and apatite petrochronology of eclogites from the Scandinavian Caledonides

, 2023
The petrochronological records of eclogites in the Scandinavian Caledonides are investigated using EPMA and LA-ICPMS of zircon and apatite for U-Pb geochronology, combined with major and trace element characteristics.

Location, Location, Location: Monazite Behaviour During UHT Metamorphism and Melt Crystallization

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 158-175, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Monazite is a robust mineral for recording the suprasolidus evolution of migmatites and granulites. However, monazite commonly has diverse compositions and yields variable dates in a single sample; understanding the controls on monazite behaviour and composition during partial melting and melt crystallization are not always straightforward ...

Interpreting Europium Anomalies in Zircon: The Importance of Source Redox

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The sources of granitoids are variably oxidized due to the diversity of environments in which they form. This environmental and consequent chemical variability leads to differences in mineral assemblages, proportions, and compositions of ferric and ferrous iron‐bearing phases in these sources and in the resultant granitoids.
