Abstract Relative plate motion in subduction zones transitions from frictional slip to viscous flow with increasing depth and temperature. The frictional‐viscous transition can control the depth extent of megathrust earthquakes and episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

Mineralogical appraisal and beneficiation tests on some industrial minerals from Zambia [PDF]
In March 1990, a visit to Zambia was made by D A Briggs of the Mineralogy and Petrology Group on behalf of the British Geological Survey/Overseas Development Administration project "Minerals for Development". The visit, which was described in Technical

Abstract The origin of orthogonally spreading ridge segments separated by oceanic transform faults, versus obliquely spreading ridge segments without transform faults (TFs), is a long‐standing enigma of plate tectonics. We address this problem using three‐dimensional (3D) geodynamic models that simulate axial magmatic intrusions along two ridge ...

Abstract At slow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges large scale detachment faults partly accommodate the spreading process. The mafic and ultramafic rocks at the ridges are infiltrated by water and change their mineralogy. Subsequently or contemporaneously to these reactions, detachment faulting takes place.

Poly(isoprene-co-glycidyl methacrylate) epoxy macromolecules were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to act as interfacial mediators between talcum powder (Talc) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) with ...

Mineral reconnaissance at the Highland boundary with special reference to the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas [PDF]
Serpentinite bodies at the Highland Boundary in the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas are extensively altered to magnesite-quartz and ferroan-dolomite-quartz rocks. Silicification was probably initiated before conversion to carbonate.

Abstract Deformation along oceanic transform faults is partitioned between seismic and aseismic slip, controlled by lithology, thermal structure, and fluid circulation. We analyze one year of data from a 54‐station ocean bottom seismometer network deployed across the Blanco Transform Fault (BTF), Northeast Pacific.

Abstract Reactive melt infiltration critically modifies the physical and chemical properties of the oceanic lithospheric mantle (OLM). This process, involving melt‐rock reactions and in situ crystallization, exhibits substantial spatial and temporal variability driven by melt volume and ascent velocity.

Platinum-group element mineralisation in the Unst ophiolite, Shetland [PDF]
The ophiolitic basic and ultrabasic rocks of the island of Unst, Shetland comprise a sequence of harzburgites, dunites, clinopyroxene-rich cumulates, and gabbro, within tectonic blocks that have been thrust over a migmatite complex during the Laxer ...
