Komatiitic explosive volcanism and its tectonic setting in Finland, the Fennoscandian (Baltic) Shield [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1990 The variously explosive komatiitic volcanism in Finland was virtually confined to the Archaean continental segment, where it occurred in the Lapland and Kuhmo‒ Suomussalmi greenstone belts between 3.0 Ga and 2.5 Ga, in the continental borderland at 1.97 ...

An Effusive Lunar Dome Near Fracastorius Crater: Spectral and Morphometric Properties
Remote Sensing, 2022 We examine a dome within the boundary between Fracastorius crater and Mare Nectaris. The dome has a noticeable vent structure and appears to be perpendicular to wrinkle ridges in the southern Mare Nectaris basin.

Post-collisional Tertiary–Quaternary mafic alkalic magmatism in the Carpathian–Pannonian region: a review [PDF]
, 2004 Mafic alkalic volcanism was widespread in the Carpathian–Pannonian region (CPR) between 11 and 0.2 Ma. It followed the Miocene continental collision of the Alcapa and Tisia blocks with the European plate, as subduction-related calc-alkaline magmatism was

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of volcanic rocks from Daimao Seamount (South China Sea) and their tectonic implications [PDF]
, 2015 The South China Sea (SCS) experienced three episodes of seafloor spreading and left three fossil spreading centers presently located at 18°N, 17°N and 15.5°N.

True polar wander driven by late-stage volcanism and the distribution of paleopolar deposits on Mars [PDF]
, 2009 The areal centroids of the youngest polar deposits on Mars are offset from those of adjacent paleopolar deposits by 5-10 degrees. We test the hypothesis that the offset is the result of true polar wander (TPW), the motion of the solid surface with ...

Morphology of the Reykjanes ridge junction with the rift zones of Iceland
Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о ЗемлеThe joint zone between subaquatic Reykjanes Ridge and Icelandic rift zones known as Reykjanes Rift Zone is a unique transform zone formed in conditions of interaction between the mantle plume and the mid-oceanic ridge.

Provenance history of a Late Triassic-Jurassic Gondwana margin forearc basin, Murihiku Terrane, North Island, New Zealand: petrographic and geochemical constraints [PDF]
, 2004 The Murihiku Terrane in the North Island was a forearc basin adjacent to a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The rocks that infill the basin are mainly volcaniclastic sandstones and mudstones, often turbiditic, with ...

Evidence for Compact Dark Matter in Galactic Halos [PDF]
, 1999 Clumped dark matter arises naturally within the framwork of generic cosmological dark matter models. Invoking the existence of dark matter clumps can also solve may unexplained mysteries in astrophysics and geology or geophysics, eg.
