Paleoproterozic Icehouses and the Evolution of Oxygen Mediating Enzymes: The Case for a Late Origin of Photosystem -- II [PDF]
, 2008 Two major geological problems regarding the origin of oxygenic photosynthesis are: (1) identifying a source of oxygen predating biological oxygen production and capable of driving the evolution of oxygen tolerance, and (2) determining when oxygenic ...

A Comment on Tectonics and the Future of Life on Terrestrial Planets
, 2003 It is argued that the tight interconnection between biological, climatological, and geophysical factors in the history of the terrestrial biosphere can teach us something of wider importance regarding the general astrobiological evolution of planets in ...

Combustion and Pyrolysis EA‐IRMS Techniques to Determine the δ2H of Diamonds
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 10, 30 May 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Diamonds are generally considered to be metasomatic minerals originating from the Earth's mantle. They formed through the interaction of carbon‐bearing fluids or melts with the surrounding deep lithology. Most knowledge about the formation of diamonds comes from studying their mineral inclusions or stable isotopes.

A palaeoecological approach to neotectonics : the geomorphic evolution of the Ntem River in and below its interior delta, SW Cameroon [PDF]
, 2010 The Late Tertiary to Quaternary evolution of the Ntem interior delta in SW Cameroon shall be modelled. A step fault was formed along neotectonically remobilized Precambrian structures.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Since the Mesozoic, much of the eastern China lithosphere was removed through thermo‐mechanical erosion and delamination, yet the effects on the overlying crust remain unclear. The Tanlu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the region's largest lithosphere‐scale weakness, offers a natural laboratory to assess crustal responses to lithospheric destruction.

Seismic Imaging Reveals Ongoing Modification of Craton Margins in Northeast Asia
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Cratonic margins are commonly modified, yet the processes responsible remain debated. The Korean Peninsula, situated between adjacent cratons, the Japan Trench, and a back‐arc system, provides a natural setting to investigate this problem. Using 4 years of dense seismic observations, we image upper‐mantle structure beneath the peninsula with P‐

Geochemical characterization of Gubanovskaya intrusion of rapakivi granites (Wiborg massif)
Vestnik MGTUThe paper presents new data on geology and composition of rapakivi granites of Gubanovskaya intrusion (Wiborg massif). Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of rapakivi granites of the second (ovoid) and third (trachytoid) phases of intrusion, as ...

Origin and evolution of the Amazonian craton [PDF]
The Amazonian craton appears to be formed and modifed by processes much like those of the better-known Precambrian cratons, but the major events did not always follow conventional sequences nor did they occur synchronously with those of other cratons ...
