Petrology and tectonic settings of the Sarcheshmeh porphyry copper deposit with emphasis on granodiorite and quartz eye porphyry

Journal of Economic Geology, 2020
Introduction The Sarcheshmeh porphyry copper deposit (PCD) and other porphyry deposits occur in the the most important metallogenic belt in Iran, i.e. the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt (UDMB).

A silicon memory of subduction [PDF]

Nature Geoscience, 2019
Subduction processes may have operated very early in Earth’s history according to the heavy silicon isotope compositions of Archaean igneous rocks. The silicon that precipitated out of the Archaean oceans as chert was subducted and melted to yield seawater-like heavy isotope signatures in early granitic rocks.

A continuous 500‐year sediment record of inundation by local and distant tsunamis in South‐Central Chile (40.1°S)

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Tsunami events over the past 500 years inundated Laguna Gemela West (Chile), leading to distinct sandy deposits in the lake record. This provides a complete perspective on tsunami inundation, including giant tsunamis, small local tsunamis and tsunamis that originated >100 km away from the site.

Sedimentary facies and architecture of mixed bioclastic‐siliciclastic deposits forming in an inferred strait environment: An example from the Early Pleistocene of Calabria, southern Italy

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Early Pleistocene mixed arenites and their associated conglomerates and sandstones were studied in detail in Calabria, southern Italy. This study suggests that the studied palaeo‐strait was not necessarily a wider and similarly oriented expression of the modern Strait of Messina.

Contrasting magma chemistry in the Candelaria IOCG district caused by changing tectonic regimes

Scientific Reports
Iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits are a vital source of copper and critical elements for emerging clean technologies. Andean-type IOCG deposits form in continental arcs undergoing extension, and they have a temporal relationship with magmatism ...

The Cenomanian–Turonian boundary interval in the Western Canada Foreland Basin: Stratigraphy, geochemistry, geochronology and sea‐level changes recorded in expanded and condensed clastic successions

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Shallow‐marine mudstone of the Cretaceous Kaskapau Formation in the British Columbia foredeep preserves a 185 m thick record of OAE2. The organic carbon‐isotope and osmium‐isotope excursions can be correlated in detail with other Cenomanian–Turonian boundary sections around the world.

Deep fault sliding rates for Ka-Ping block of Xinjiang based on repeating earthquakes

Open Geosciences
The seismically active Ka-Ping Block within Xinjiang, China, represents a zone of potential earthquake hazards, and existing surface measurements cannot fully reflect the area’s sub-surface slip rates.

Experimental Characterization of a Full‐Scale Stair System Detailed to Achieve Seismic Resiliency

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stair systems are the primary means of egress in and out of a building during and after an earthquake. Therefore, it is essential to detail these critical nonstructural systems such that they remain operable during and after an earthquake of moderate to high levels of intensity.

Carbon Storage in Fold‐and‐Thrust Belts: An Overlooked Gigatonne Storage Opportunity

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents numerical investigations of the trapping characteristics of fold‐and‐thrust belt structures, defining three carbon capture and storage (CCS) play types that could be used to store commercial volumes (millions of tonnes) of CO2.

Tectonic control on great earthquake periodicity in south-central Chile

Communications Earth & Environment
Multi-millennial records of great megathrust earthquakes have highlighted differences in periodicity and recurrence behavior. Understanding tectonic processes responsible for these differences is relevant for fault mechanics and hazard models.
