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 ...

Carbon isotope geochemistry of organic matter in volcanic paleosols constrains paleo‐environmental variations

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Fiorano quarry paleosol developed within the Colli Albani volcanic district (Italy) in the time interval bracketed by the deposition of the Pozzolanelle pyroclastic‐flow unit (365 ± 4 ka) and the emplacement of the Capo di Bove lava flow (277 ± 2 ka).

An Open Database of Lunar Regolith and Simulants Properties

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lunar regolith, the layer of unconsolidated material covering the Moon's surface, is central to the science and technology developed for the Moon, notably related to in‐situ science investigations, resource utilization, surface infrastructure, and mobility systems.

Rare Earth Element Potential in the Araí Rift Metavolcanic, Central Brazil: Gamma‐Ray Signatures, Mineralogy and Exploration Implications

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although central Brazil hosts significant ion‐adsorption rare earth element (REE) deposits associated with A‐type granites, their coeval volcanic counterparts have been largely overlooked as exploration targets. This study demonstrates that acidic metavolcanic rocks of the Araí Group share strong radiometric, geochemical and mineralogical ...

Effect of particle entrainment on the runout of pyroclastic density currents [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2016
AbstractPyroclastic density currents (PDCs) can erode soil and bedrock, yet we currently lack a mechanistic understanding of particle entrainment that can be incorporated into models and used to understand how PDC bulking affects runout. Here we quantify how particle splash, the ejection of particles due to impact by a projectile, entrains particles ...

Tectonic Forcing of Diachronous Salt Deposition During the Badenian Salinity Crisis Revealed by U–Pb Dating of Tephra Overlying Tuzla Basin Evaporites

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the Middle Miocene Badenian Salinity Crisis (BSC), extensive evaporites formed across different tectonic settings in the Central Paratethys. Limited age constraints hamper evaporite correlation and identification of driving mechanisms. Here, we use U–Pb dating of zircon by LA‐ICP‐MS from tephra overlying the Tuzla Basin evaporites.

Dynamics of pyroclastic density currents and submarine eruptions [PDF]

, 2017
Density gradients are fundamental drivers of volcanic flows. Pyroclastic density currents propagate because they are more dense than the ambient fluid and pyroclasts can rise through water as a result of their buoyancy.

Interactions between pyroclastic density currents : insights from analog experiments [PDF]

, 2018
During some explosive volcanic eruptions, multiple pyroclastic density currents have been produced within a short time span of each other and flowed through the same area.

Investigation of variable aeration of monodisperse mixtures: implications for pyroclastic density currents [PDF]

Bulletin of Volcanology, 2018
The high mobility of dense pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) is commonly attributed to high gas pore pressures. However, the influence of spatial and temporal variations in pore pressure within PDCs has yet to be investigated. Theory suggests that variability in the fluidisation and aeration of a current will have a significant control on PDC flow ...
