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 …

Passive margins have existed somewhere on Earth almost continually since 2740 Ma. They
were abundant at 1900–1890, 610–520, and 150–0 Ma, scarce at ca. 2445–2300, 1600 …

The Eastern Mediterranean region exhibits a fascinating diversity of ophiolites and related
oceanic magmatic units of mainly Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous age. Comparisons with …

Suprasubduction zone (SSZ) ophiolites display a consistent sequence of events during their
formation and evolution that suggests that they form in response to processes that are …

This paper presents new ideas on the Early Palaeozoic geography and tectonic history of
the Iapetus Ocean involved in the formation of the northern Appalachian-British Caledonide …

Partial fusion experiments with basic granulites (S6, S37) believed to represent the lower
crust beneath the Eifel region (Germany) were performed at pressures from 5 to 15 kbar …

The most commonly used tectonic discrimination diagrams for granites were introduced by
Pearce et al.[Pearce, JA, Harris, NBW, Tindle, AG, 1984. Trace element discrimination …

Crystallization experiments were performed at 200 MPa in the temperature range 1150–
950° C at oxygen fugacities corresponding to the quartz–fayalite–magnetite (QFM) and MnO …

Ophiolites have long been recognized as on-land fragments of fossil oceanic lithosphere,
which becomes an ophiolite when incorporated into continental margins through a complex …
