The radiogenic accumulation and thermally activated diffusive loss of ⁴He from accessory minerals, such as apatite and zircon, has been widely used to recover low-temperature thermal histories and relate them to upper-crustal ...

Scientific understanding of the mechanics of continental breakup in the absence of voluminous magmatism has dramatically evolved over the past decades. Numerical and conceptual rift models have elucidated the temporal and ...

The Ertsberg Pluton is the largest (>15 km³) and youngest (3.1 - 2.8 Ma) igneous body within the renowned Ertsberg-Grasberg Mining District of Papua, Indonesia. It is associated with ore-grade Cu-Au mineralization in the ...

Relationships between river incision, aggradation, and widening are investigated in a ∼5 km reach of the northern Rio Grande River Gorge near the confluence with the Red River in New Mexico using detailed geomorphic mapping ...

The sedimentary fill of peripheral foreland basins has the potential to preserve a record of the processes of ocean closure and continental collision (e.g., the later phases of the Wilson cycle), as well as the long-term ...

Sikinos and Ios Islands, located in the Southern Cyclades of the Aegean, are part of a Cenozoic metamorphic core complex system that exposes subduction-related rocks in the highly-extended back-arc region of the Hellenic ...
