Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

introduced three important ideas that furthered understanding of metamorphic processes:(i)
the use of critical index minerals in argillaceous rocks to define metamorphic zones and …

The extensional collapse of an orogenic belt occurs when the gravitational potential energy
in thickened crust is released by spreading laterally. Collapse may occur during shortening …

The Killingworth dome of south-central Connecticut occurs at the southern end of the
Bronson Hill belt. It is composed of tonalitic and trondhjemitic orthogneisses (Killingworth …

This study develops an empirical crystal-chemical framework for systematizing the kinetics of
Pb loss and fission-track annealing in U-bearing minerals. Ionic porosity, Z (the fraction of a …

Observed major element metasomatism in 5 amphibolite facies ductile fault zones can be
explained as the inevitable consequence of aqueous fluid flow along normal temperature …

The ionic porosity model of Fortier and Giletti (1989), which parameterizes variations in
diffusion coefficients among different mineral structures, has been extended to estimate the …

We report the discovery of oriented needles of rutile and ilmenite in garnet crystals from
granulite facies metapelitic rocks of the Merrimack synclinorium, Connecticut, and present a …

In the original Wilson cycle, the northern Appalachian–Caledonide orogen resulted from the
collision of two continental masses separated by a single ocean. One of these corresponds …

The Ammonoosuc Volcanics, Partridge Formation, and the Oliverian and Highlandcroft
Plutonic Suites of the Bronson Hill anticlinorium (BHA) in axial New England are widely …
