Infiltration Metasomatism of Cumulates by Intrusive Magma Replenishment: the Wavy Horizon, Isle of Rum, Scotland [PDF]

The Eastern Layered Intrusion of the Rum Layered Suite comprises paired peridotite and allivalite (troctolite and gabbro)layers forming 16 macro-rhythmic units.

Holocene vegetation dynamics of Grande Terre (Kerguelen Islands) inferred from sedimentary ancient DNA

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the Antarctic region has experienced significant climatic changes over the Holocene, few high‐resolution records have examined their effects on the local biota. In order to understand past ecological shifts and forecast future changes, it is important to obtain high‐resolution palaeoecological records from this region.

Re-os isotope constraints on the age of the Lithospheric mantle beneath western Greenland. [PDF]

, 2007
Alkaline magmatic activity across Western Greenland (W.G.) provides a record of lithosphere evolution over the last 600 Ma. Ultra Mafic Lamprophyre (UML) magmatism in particular has erupted an exceptional inventory of mantle xenoliths allowing a detailed

New geochronological constraints on Late Pleistocene glaciation in the southern Cadí Massif, SE Pyrenees

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

A General Model for the Permeability of Magma Mush

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Percolation through magma mush is a key transport mechanism for melts in the crust and is influenced by the permeability of the crystal framework. Existing models for mush permeability do not account for the range of microstructures that can evolve as ...

New Schmidt hammer exposure‐age dating calibrations for the Last Glacial Termination in NW Scotland: Development and application to undated Torridon Group sandstone surfaces in Wester Ross

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An understanding of the terrestrial extent, retreat dynamics and climate–glacier coupling of ice masses during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT, ~18–11 ka) is often limited by a fragmentary geomorphological record and is dependent on precise, accurate and robust dating frameworks.

Responses of primary producers, anoxia, and chemical feedback to Late Glacial climate change: Insights from a paired lake approach

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldwide, lacustrine ecosystems are threatened by eutrophication and deoxygenation. Both processes are driven by the combined effects of human activities and climate change. Understanding the pre‐anthropogenic nexus between warming, eutrophication, deoxygenation, and related feedback is essential to determine how lakes respond to rapid ...
