Lithospheric structure beneath the Zagros collision zone resolved by non-linear teleseismic tomography [PDF]
The upper-mantle structure across the Zagros collision zone, in southwest Iran, is investigated using a non-linear weighted damped least-squares teleseismic tomography approach. The resolution of the structures/transitions in the upper mantle is enhanced

Ilvaite trace mineral chemistry as a thermodynamic recorder of retrograde alteration and metallogenic indicator for discrimination of skarn deposits: an example from the iron deposit in North Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone [PDF]
Ilvaite, CaFe22+Fe3+(Si2O7)O(OH), is one of the important trace minerals in the retrograde alteration stage of skarn deposits. In this contribution, by using microscopic evidence, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron microprobe analysis (EPMA), the ...

A secular increase in continental crust nitrogen during the Precambrian [PDF]
Recent work indicates the presence of substantial geologic nitrogen reservoirs in the mantle and continental crust. Importantly, this geologic nitrogen has exchanged between the atmosphere and the solid Earth over time. Changes in atmospheric nitrogen (i.
