Petrogenesis and Tectonic Setting of Late Mesozoic Felsic Magmatic Rocks in the Wangmushan Mining District, Northern Fujian, South China

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The rhyolitic ignimbrite and K‐feldspar granite porphyry from the Wangmushan mining district, northern Fujian yield ages of 173.8 ± 0.8 and 102.6 ± 0.4 Ma, respectively. Geochemical data, zircon trace elements, whole‐rock Sr–Nd–Pb isotope data, and zircon Hf isotopic compositions indicate that the rhyolitic ignimbrite originated from partial remelting ...

Metamorphosed and deformed pillows from Losomäki: evidence of sub-aqueous volcanism in the Outokumpu association, eastern Finland [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1981
Pillow lavas, some highly deformed and now seen as banded diopside amphibolites and tremolite-epidote-chlorite rocks (»barren skarn»), occur within the lower Proterozoic Outokumpu rock association at Losomäki, 50 km N.W. of Outokumpu.

Review of the Salpausselkä ice‐marginal formations in Finland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensive Salpausselkä ice‐marginal formations were deposited in southern and eastern Finland during the Weichselian deglaciation. These comprise three major ridges (I, II, and III Salpausselkäs) and their eastern counterparts (Tuupovaara, Koitere, and Pielisjärvi), together forming laterally continuous ice‐marginal formations extending ...

Thermal and Compositional Anomalies of the Australian Upper Mantle From Seismic and Gravity Data

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
To discern temperature and compositional variations of the Australian upper mantle, we apply an integrative technique, which jointly interprets seismic tomography and gravity data.

Late Quaternary lake filling and drying in northern Australia's largest freshwater lake

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake Woods, Jurrkulu, is northern Australia's largest freshwater lake filled today in strong Indo–Australian summer monsoons (IASM) to maximum depths of ~5 m. On the western margins of the lake, two large arcuate ridges occur 20 to 40 m above the lake floor and inset within these are other mid‐elevation lake deposits, such as depositional ...

Provenance records of the North Jiangsu Basin, East China: Zircon U–Pb geochronology and geochemistry from the Paleogene Dainan Formation in the Gaoyou Sag

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2014
Detailed zircon U–Pb dating and whole-rock geochemical analyses were carried out on the sedimentary rocks of the Paleogene Dainan Formation from Gaoyou Sag in the North Jiangsu Basin, East China. Whole-rock rare earth element characteristics suggest that

Bulbophyllum weddellii (Orchidaceae) demonstrates foliar water uptake plasticity along Brazilian campos rupestres

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate species survival in a variety of conditions that are not possible with a fixed phenotype. Foliar water uptake (FWU), defined as the absorption of water through leaf surfaces, is an important mechanism contributing to plant water balance and drought tolerance in many species.

Interstratal dewatering origin for polygonal patterns of sand-filled cracks: a case study from late Proterozoic metasediments of Islay, Scotland [PDF]

, 1998
Sand-filled cracks from the Lower Fine-grained Quartzite of Dalradian (late Proterozoic) age on the Island of Islay, western Scotland, may be divided into two main types, both of which form orthogonal and non-orthogonal closed patterns on bedding ...

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

Geosystems 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 ...

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

Sustainable 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 ...
