In situ mineralisation of UK onshore igneous rocks offers significant CO2 storage potential

open access: yesEarth Science, Systems and Society
Safe and permanent storage of CO2 will be required to limit global warming to 1.5–2°C above pre-industrial levels. In situ mineralisation of CO2 within igneous rock formations is a rapid and secure method of geological CO2 storage.

Spinel crystals in mantle ultramafic xenoliths as the source of P-T conditions of alteration above the magma chamber beneath the Avacha Volcano (Kamchatka)

open access: yesJournal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2022
This study focuses on the ability of spinel crystals in ultramafic xenoliths, like zircon, to store the primary composition and structure when exposed to magma fluid flows or the thermal heating of ultramafic fragments in magma flows during volcanic ...

Heterogeneous Exhumation Mechanisms in Neoproterozoic Collisional Metamorphism: P–T Constraints From Pelotas and Punta del Este Terranes, Southern Brazil and Uruguay

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Petrography, thermobarometry, and pseudosection modelling reveal peak metamorphic conditions of 3–7.5 kbar and 520°C–800°C in Tonian‐Cryogenian orthogneisses of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Metamorphic field gradients of 27°C/km–39°C/km and variable exhumation mechanisms support correlation of these units as remnants of a Himalayan‐type Piratini Orogeny ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant performance in trace element‐contaminated soils with element‐specific accumulation patterns

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil contamination by toxic trace elements is a growing global challenge that threatens food safety, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem health. We combined results from many experiments worldwide to assess whether beneficial soil fungi can help plants cope with contaminated soils.

Mortars From Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto: Materials, Formulations, and Technology

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an archaeometric investigation of 18 hydraulic rendering and bedding mortars from Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto (NW Sicily). The research aimed to characterize raw materials, reconstruct manufacturing sequences, and evaluate technological proficiency through mineralogical and petrochemical analyses.

Glass from Teniky (Madagascar): Geochemical Evidence for Multiple Production Systems and Long‐Distance Exchange in the Mediaeval Indian Ocean

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inland rock‐cut site of Teniky, located in the Isalo massif of southern Madagascar, represents an exceptional archaeological context recently dated to the 11th–12th centuries ad, corresponding to the early phases of settlement on the island.

Southern Carpathian ultramafic grasslands within the central-southeast European context: syntaxonomic classification and overall eco-coenotic patterns

open access: yesBotanical Studies, 2022
Background Previous investigations carried out in ultramafic habitats emphasized the greater importance of site conditions over soil toxic metal content for vegetation composition.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Reflectance spectra and AVIRIS-NG airborne hyperspectral data analysis for mapping ultramafic rocks in igneous terrain

open access: yesJournal of Spectral Imaging, 2022
The layered Sittampundi Anorthosite Complex is covered by mafic and ultramafic rocks including anorthosite, gabbro, pyroxenite and other igneous rocks. The ultramafic terrain has frequently undergone metamorphism.

Geophysical update of the diameter of the Zhamanshin impact structure, Kazakhstan

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The rim of the 0.9‐Ma‐old Zhamanshin impact crater in Kazakhstan is considered to be almost completely exposed via a series of hills surrounding a central flat area, indicating an apparent diameter of 14 km. This would make Zhamanshin the second largest impact crater of the Quaternary period. However, the overall geometry of these hills is not
