The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Morphometric convergence between Proterozoic and post-vegetation rivers

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
It has been previously assumed that deep river channels could not have developed in the Proterozoic due to lack of vegetation. Here, the authors present remote sensing and outcrop data to show that large scale and deeply channelled river networks did ...

India-Antarctica collisional ridge structure below Nellore Schist and Eastern Ghats Belts as revealed by seismic studies

open access: yesGeosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
In Columbia, Rodinia and Gondwana supercontinental assembly periods, eastern margin of India lay quite close to the east Antarctica. During these periods, this region underwent prolonged sedimentation, magmatism, oceanic subduction, multiple accretion ...

Resolving Micrometre‐Scale Zircon Growth in Silicic Systems by 7 μm LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS U‐Pb Dating: Linking Petrology and Geochronology in Silicic Volcanic and Granitic Rocks from Victoria, Australia

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points 7 μm spot‐diameter LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS analyses yield accurate zircon U‐Pb ages. 1013 Ω amplifier resistors improve low‐signal Pb measurements. Saturn correction protocols minimise down‐hole fractionation effects. We present a systematic evaluation of high spatial‐resolution zircon U‐Pb dating using a Thermo Scientific Neoma multi‐collector ICP‐MS ...

A possible model of the Paleozoic sedimentary basins evolution at the North African platform

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2017
A dual model of the Paleozoic basins development, disposing on the Late Proterozoic (Pan-African) and the Early Proterozoic (Eburnean) crust, has been proposed.

The Ames impact structure, Oklahoma: New radioisotopic constraints and implications for North American impact chronology

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Ames impact structure (Oklahoma) is thought to have formed during the Ordovician Meteor Event, based on conodont biostratigraphy of its crater fill. Here, U–Pb zircon dates from its impact‐melt portion, conducted using secondary ion mass spectrometry and laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (n = 37 spots), yield a ...

The Himmerkinlahti member: An indicator of intra-karelian erosion within the early Proterozoic Kuusamo Belt, Posio, northern Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2000
The paper establishes the Himmerkinlahti Member, which is a thin metamorphosed conglomerate-sandstone unit within the middle part of the early Proterozoic (Karelian) supracrustal sequence of the Kuusamo Belt, northern Finland.

Proterozoic basins of Canada: Early Proterozoic sequences in Labrador

open access: yes, 1981
Early Proterozoic ( Aphebian) sedimentary and volcanic rocks in Labrador are described from two tectonic belts: the Churchill Province of western Labrador, and the Makkovik Subprovince of eastern Labrador. The Aphebian in the Churchill Province is represented mainly by the Labrador Trough ( Kaniapiskau Supergroup) but also in the Laporte Croup, Lake ...

Petrogenesis of the Kanker Granites From the Bastar Craton: Implications for Crustal Growth and Evolution During the Archean-Proterozoic Transition

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Archean-Proterozoic boundary represents a significant transitional phase in the Earth's history. Bastar Craton is one of the major Archean cratons in the Indian subcontinent with voluminous granites, supracrustal rocks, and tectonic belts.
