A nexus of plate interaction: Vertical deformation of Holocene wave-built terraces on the Kamchatsky Peninsula (Kamchatka, Russia) 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
Kamchatsky Peninsula lies within a complex meeting place of tectonic plates, in particular, the orthogonal interaction of the west-moving Komandorsky Island block with mainland Kamchatka. Examining th...
Constraining landscape history and glacial erosivity using paired cosmogenic nuclides in Upernavik, northwest Greenland 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
High-latitude landscape evolution processes have the potential to preserve old, relict surfaces through burial by cold-based, nonerosive glacial ice. To investigate landscape history and age in the hi...
Carbonate production of ancient debris-dominated reefs: An outcrop-based example from the Upper Jurassic reef complex of the central Apennines (Italy) 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
This study provides the first quantitative carbonate production estimate of an ancient debris reef, represented by the Upper Jurassic reef complex of the central Apennines. The components of carbonate...
Eruption history, conduit migration, and steady discharge of magma for the past 50,000 yr at Esan volcanic complex, northern Japan 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
We have undertaken a detailed field, petrological, geochronological, and modeling study of Esan volcanic complex, northern Japan, in order to establish its eruptive history over the past 50,000 yr. Th...
Garwood Valley, Antarctica: A new record of Last Glacial Maximum to Holocene glaciofluvial processes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
We document the age and extent of late Quaternary glaciofluvial processes in Garwood Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, using mapping, stratigraphy, geochronology, and geochemical analysis of se...
Initiation and growth of strike-slip faults within intact metagranitoid (Neves area, eastern Alps, Italy) 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
Exhumed strike-slip faults exposed in the Neves area of the Tauern Window (eastern Alps, Italy) formed in the lower brittle crust under hydrous conditions within intact metagranitoids, where any precu...
Stratigraphic, geochronologic, and geochemical record of the Cryogenian Perry Canyon Formation, northern Utah: Implications for Rodinia rifting and sn... 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
The Cryogenian Perry Canyon Formation, formally named herein with a type section located in northern Utah, consists of a 0.3- to 1.5-km-thick succession of diamictite- and volcanic-bearing strata that...
Detrital zircon evidence for non-Laurentian provenance, Mesoproterozoic (ca. 1490-1450 Ma) deposition and orogenesis in a reconstructed orogenic belt,... 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
Detrital zircon and igneous zircon U-Pb ages are reported from Proterozoic metamorphic rocks in northern New Mexico. These data give new insight into the provenance and depositional age of a >3-km-thi...
Detrital zircon geochronology from the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, USA: Implications for tectonostratigraphic evolution and paleogeography 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
Tectonostratigraphic assemblages record phases of basin history during which the fundamental controls of tectonic setting, subsidence style, and basin geometry are relatively similar. Because these fu...
A cosmic trip: 25 years of cosmogenic nuclides in geology 24 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
Terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides, produced by secondary cosmic-ray interactions in the atmosphere and in situ within minerals in the shallow lithosphere, are widely used to date surface exposure of roc...
