ROCK FLUID INTERACTION AND ITS EFFECT ON BRITTLE ROCK DEFORMATION
(2019)
Accurate assessments of Earth’s dynamic processes, which produce earthquakes and volcanoes, require better understanding of rock deformation. All rocks, to some extent, contain pores. In the Earth’s crust, the pore space ...
The Redox History of the Earth's Mantle: Evidence from Ultramafic Lavas
(2019)
In order to determine the evolution of the redox state of the mantle, the oxygen fugacities of sixteen mantle-derived komatiitic and picritic systems, ranging in age from 3.55 Ga to present day, were determined using the ...
STRUCTURE OF CONTINENTAL LITHOSPHERE FROM TRANSDIMENSIONAL BAYESIAN INVERSION OF SURFACE WAVES AND RECEIVER FUNCTIONS
(2019)
Continental crust and the underlying lithospheric mantle make up the continental lithosphere of the Earth. Our understanding of its structure and composition is limited by the inaccessibility of Earth’s deep interior. ...
Widespread tungsten isotope anomalies and W mobility in crustal and mantle rocks of the Eoarchean Saglek Block, northern Labrador, Canada: Implications for early Earth processes and W recycling
(Elsevier - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2016)
Well-resolved 182W isotope anomalies, relative to the present mantle, in Hadean–Archean terrestrial rocks have been interpreted to reflect the effects of variable late accretion and early mantle differentiation processes. ...
Lower rotational inertia and larger leg muscles indicate more rapid turns in tyrannosaurids than in other large theropods
(2019-02-21)
Synopsis
Tyrannosaurid dinosaurs had large preserved leg muscle attachments and low rotational inertia relative to their body mass, indicating that they could turn more quickly than other large theropods.
Methods
To ...
Estimation of trace element concentrations in the lunar magma ocean using mineral- and metal-silicate melt partition coefficients
(The Meteoritical Society, 2015)
Abstract–This study uses experimentally determined plagioclase-melt D values to estimate the trace element concentrations of Sr, Hf, Ga, W, Mo, Ru, Pd, Au, Ni, and Co in a crystallizing lunar ...
