Based on a regional geological survey at a scale of 1:50000, it reveals that the volcanic rocks from the Baiyin'gaolao Formation of Gaoyaowula in Inner Mongolia could be divided into three lithologic segments by the triple mapping method of "volcanic ...

Observing eruptions of gas-rich compressible magmas from space
Satellite observations are an important tool in volcano monitoring, but observations such as ground deformation and gas emissions are treated independently. Here, the authors present a model coupling them through their link to magma volatile contents and

Biohermal structures exploration of the Pre Upper Permian sedimentary rocks of the northern part of the Buzachi Peninsula and the neighbouring shelf area of the Caspian Sea [PDF]
A detailed lithological and stratigraphical analysis of poorly studied Pre Upper Permian sedimentary section uncovered by deep wells on the Buzachi Peninsula is carried out. The characteristic lithological strata are distinguished.

A subduction and mantle plume origin for Samoan volcanism
The origin of Samoan volcanism in the southwest Pacific remains enigmatic. Whether mantle melting is solely caused by a mantle plume is questionable because some volcanism, here referred to as non-hotspot volcanism, defies the plume model and its linear ...

Volcanism is the largest natural source of mercury (Hg) to the biosphere. However, past Hg emission estimates have varied by three orders of magnitude. Here, we present an updated central estimate and interquartile range (232 Mg a−1; IQR: 170–336 Mg a−1)

Explosive volcanism resulting in stratospheric injection of sulfate aerosol is a major driver of regional to global climatic variability on interannual and longer timescales. However, much of our knowledge of the climatic impact of volcanism derives from

Khanneshin - the Afghan carbonatite volcano, discovered in the office
The pétrographie and mineralogical laboratory study of the rock samples and the analysis of the geological setting in the sites of their collection (South Afghanistan) allowed suggesting the presence of the carbonatite volcano there.

Volcanism of the early formation stage of Iturup Island (Great Kurile Chain)
The article presents new petrogeochemical data on the Middle Miocene-Pliocene volcanic rocks from central part of Iturup Island (Great Kurile Chain). It is shown that volcanism of the Middle Miocene-Early Pliocene age in the central part of the Iturup ...

Transient slab flattening beneath Colombia
Subduction of the Nazca and Caribbean Plates beneath northwestern Colombia is seen in two distinct Wadati Benioff Zones, one associated with a flat slab to the north and one associated with normal subduction south of 5.5°N.

The Salittu Formation in southwestern Finland, part I: Structure, age and stratigraphy [PDF]
Because of the relatively low metamorphic grade, low strain and well-preserved early structures in volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, the Orijärvi triangle (in the center of the larger Orijärvi area) is one of the few locations in the Svecofennian orogen
