A Two-Step K-Ar Experiment on Mars: Dating the Diagenetic Formation of Jarosite from Amazonian Groundwaters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Following K-Ar dating of a mudstone and a sandstone, a third sample has been dated by the Curiosity rover exploring Gale Crater. The Mojave 2 mudstone, which contains relatively abundant jarosite, yielded a young K-Ar bulk age of 2.57 ± 0.39 Ga (1σ ...

Regional Thermal History Trends From the Idaho‐Montana Fold‐Thrust Belt Using Multiple Low‐T Thermochronometers

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Low‐temperature thermochronometric data can reveal the long‐term evolution of erosion, uplift, and thrusting in fold‐thrust belts. We present results from central Idaho and southwestern Montana, where the close spatial overlap of the Sevier fold‐thrust belt and Laramide style, basement‐involved foreland uplifts signify a complex region with an

Oligocene Slab Break‐Off and Pleistocene Glacial Erosion Shaped the Tectonic Evolution of the Dent Blanche Tectonic System, Western Alps

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Integrating new zircon and apatite (U‐Th‐Sm)/He (ZHe, AHe) and muscovite 40Ar/39Ar (MAr) thermochronometric data with published data sets, we reconstruct the tectonic and thermal evolution of the Dent Blanche Tectonic System (DBTS), an Austroalpine nappe overlain by Ligure‐Piemontese oceanic units in the Western Alps. We report new Late Eocene‐

Electron Spin Resonance Thermochronometry Indicates Quaternary Activity of the Brenner Fault (Eastern Alps)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The Brenner Fault is one of the most important normal faults in the Eastern Alps as it accommodates uplift and lateral extrusion of the Tauern Window. Consequently, understanding its kinematic history is important for studying the dynamics of the Eastern

Thermochronometry and palaeomagnetism of the Archaean Nelshoogte Pluton, South Africa [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 1998
SUMMARY 207Pb/206Pb single-grain zircon, 40Ar/39Ar single-grain hornblende and biotite, and 40Ar/39Ar bulk-sample muscovite and biotite ages from the Nelshoogte trondhjemite pluton located in eastern Transvaal, South Africa, show that this granitoid had a protracted thermal history spanning 3213±4 Ma to about 3000 Ma.

Reconciling Geologic and Paleotopographic Constraints on Source‐to‐Sink Sediment Fluxes: An Example From the Bartonian Pyrenees

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 37, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Sediment fluxes are estimated from an Eocene paleoDEM of the Pyrenees using the geomorphic‐climatic BQART equation. These volumes are comparable to sediment supplies independently calculated from bedrock exhumation rates, showing the pDEM generates reliable sediment fluxes.

Thermal imprint of rift-related processes in orogens as recorded in the Pyrenees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
International audience19 The extent to which heat recorded in orogens reflects thermal conditions inherited from 20 previous rift-related processes is still debated and poorly documented.

Sub-Quaternary Himalayan tectonics inferred from luminescence thermochronometry

open access: yes, 2022
A system of successively forming north-dipping crustal-scale thrusts, extending along the Himalayan arc, and merging at depth into the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT), have accommodated most of the convergence between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates since at least the early Miocene.

Latest Cretaceous to Cenozoic Exhumation Patterns in the Northern Andes From the Sedimentary Provenance Record on the Broken Retro‐Foreland Putumayo Basin

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 37, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
(A) Tectonic model of the Putumayo Basin showing the several collisional events that triggered the inversion of preexistent Jurassic rift sequences during the Upper Cretaceous and their influence in the provenance sources from the synorogenic deposits. Brown arrows suggest Amazonian and Putumayo basement sources, dark green arrows suggest a provenance ...

The beginnings of geography teaching and research in the University of Glasgow: the impact of J.W. Gregory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
J.W. Gregory arrived in Glasgow from Melbourne in 1904 to take up the post of foundation Professor of Geology in the University of Glasgow. Soon after his arrival in Glasgow he began to push for the setting up of teaching in Geography in Glasgow, which ...
