Theoretical petrology [PDF]

, 1979
The central issues in petrology have remained remarkably unchanged in the last 50 years. In igneous petrology, the focus is on understanding the nature and cause of diversity in igneous rocks: on identifying primary magma types and constraints on the ...

Mineral reconnaissance at the Highland boundary with special reference to the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas [PDF]

, 1983
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.

Theoretical Spectra of Terrestrial Exoplanet Surfaces [PDF]

, 2012
We investigate spectra of airless rocky exoplanets with a theoretical framework that self-consistently treats reflection and thermal emission. We find that a silicate surface on an exoplanet is spectroscopically detectable via prominent Si-O features in ...

The older ultramafic rocks of Aberdeenshire, similarities to SSZ ophiolites and significance for regional tectonics [abstract] [PDF]

, 2008
It has long been known that there are at least two phases of mafic-ultramafic magmatism in NE Scotland (Read 1919), the well known Younger Gabbro suite and a lesser known ‘Older suite’.

Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]

, 1983
Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

Characterizing the Unique Chemical Imprint of On‐Axis, Lower‐Temperature Hydrothermal Flow to the Deep Ocean (Southern East Pacific Rise, 16.5°–18.0°S)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract In addition to high‐temperature vents, lower‐temperature flow (LTF) (<300°C) is abundant along mid‐ocean ridges and contributes globally‐important fluxes of heat and water along with largely‐unconstrained geochemical influences on the ocean. We examined the impact of on‐axis LTF on the chemical composition of the overlying water column (<40 m ...

Peridotite weathering is the missing ingredient of Earth’s continental crust composition

Nature Communications, 2018
The concentration of Ni and Cr of the continental crust cannot be explained by formation models involving differentiated magmatic rocks. Here, the authors show that hydrothermal alteration and chemical weathering of ultramafic rock compensates for the ...

The Influence of the Mineralogical Composition of Ultramafic Rocks on Their Engineering Performance: A Case Study from the Veria-Naousa and Gerania Ophiolite Complexes (Greece)

Geosciences, 2018
This case study investigates the influence of the mineralogical composition of ultramafic rocks derived from two ophiolite complexes from Greece (Veria-Naousa and Gerania) on their mechanical, physical and physicochemical properties.
