Deep, ultra-hot-melting residues as cradles of mantle diamond
(2023)The ancient stable continents are up to 250 km deep, with roots extending into the diamond stability field. These cratons owe their mechanical strength to being cool and rigid, features inherited from extensive melt ... -
Depth-dependent peridotite-melt interaction and the origin of variable silica in the cratonic mantle
(2021)Peridotites from the thick roots of Archaean cratons are known for their compositional diversity, whose origin remains debated. We report thermodynamic modelling results for reactions between peridotite and ascending mantle ... -
Detailed Geogenic Radon Potential Mapping Using Geospatial Analysis of Multiple Geo-Variables: A Case Study from a High-Risk Area in SE Ireland
(2022)A detailed investigation of geogenic radon potential (GRP) was carried out near Graiguenamanagh town (County Kilkenny, Ireland) by performing a spatial regression analysis on radon-related variables to evaluate the exposure ... -
Determining the impact of magma water contents on porphyry Cu fertility: constraints from hydrous and nominally anhydrous mineral analysis
(2023)Most large-scale porphyry-style mineralization is genetically associated with oxidized, sulfur-rich, and hydrous magmas, the sources of which were enriched in mantle-derived or juvenile crust−derived materials. Geochemical ... -
Development and optimisation of a multi-residue method for the determination of 40 anthelmintic drugs in environmental water samples by solid phase extraction (SPE) with LC-MS/MS detection
(MDPI, 2019-05-22)A comprehensive multiresidue method was developed and validated for the determination of 40 anthelmintic compounds, including 13 transformation products, in surface and groundwater samples at sub nanogram per litre (ng ... -
Development of a Geogenic Radon Hazard Index–Concept, History, Experiences
(2020)Exposure to indoor radon at home and in workplaces constitutes a serious public health risk and is the second most prevalent cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking. Indoor radon concentration is to a large extent ... -
Does Large Igneous Province Volcanism Always Perturb the Mercury Cycle? Comparing the Records of Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 and the End-cretaceous to Other Mesozoic Events
(2018)Mercury (Hg) is increasingly being used as a sedimentary tracer of Large Igneous Province (LIP) volcanism, and supports hypotheses of a coincidence between the formation of several LIPs and episodes of mass extinction and ... -
An Early Jurassic (Sinemurian Toarcian) stratigraphic framework for the occurrence of Organic Matter Preservation Intervals (OMPIs)
(2021)Lower Jurassic sedimentary successions in the Atlantic margin basins include several organic-rich intervals, some with source rock potential; time-equivalent units are also identified in on- and offshore areas worldwide. ... -
Early mafic magmatism and crustal anatexis on the Isle of Rum: evidence from the Am M?m intrusion breccia
(2009)The Rum Igneous Centre comprises two early marginal felsic complexes (the Northern Marginal Zone and the Southern Mountains Zone), along with the later central ultrabasic?basic layered intrusions. These marginal complexes ... -
Editorial: Multidisciplinary Investigations for Determining the Structure and Dynamics of Active Volcanic Systems
(2022)Multidisciplinary investigations are widely considered by the scientific community to be the key strategy for understanding the interplay between magmatic processes and volcanic structures as a primary task for volcanological ... -
The effect of aspartic acid and glycine on amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) structure, stability and crystallization
(Elsevier, 2014)The effect of organic molecules on CaCO3 crystallization, in particular on the formation of the initial amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) phase, is poorly understood despite this knowledge being crucial for designing ... -
The effect of cooling rate on immiscible silicate liquid microstructure: An example from the Palaeogene dykes of Northeast England
(2019)The migration and accumulation of immiscible silicate liquids may play a significant role in the differentiation of crustal magma bodies and the formation of some economic mineral deposits. However, our understanding of ... -
The effect of heating on the morphology of crystalline neodymium hydroxycarbonate, NdCO3OH
(2014)The crystallization of hexagonal NdCO3OH through hydrothermal synthesis carried out at slow (reaching the desired temperature within 100 min) and quick (50 min) rates of heating but at variable temperatures (165–220ºC) are ... -
The effects of land drainage on groundwater resources in karstic areas of Ireland
(Geological Publishing House, Beijing, China, 1988)The impact of land drainage on groundwater resources is particularly acute in karst areas because of the unique characteristics of karstic aquifers. Arterial drainage of karst lowlands in Ireland, involving the construction ... -
Effects of over-winter green cover on groundwater nitrate and dissolved organic carbon concentrations beneath tillage land
(Elsevier, 2012)Application of over-winter green cover (e.g. cover crops) as a measure for reducing nitrate losses from tillage land has been frequently investigated, especially in the unsaturated zone. Monitoring of groundwater is less ... -
Elemental and isotopic behaviour of Zn in Deccan basalt weathering profiles: Chemical weathering from bedrock to laterite and links to Zn deficiency in tropical soils
(2018)Zinc (Zn) is a micronutrient for organisms and essential for plant growth, therefore knowledge of its elemental cycling in the surface environment is important regarding wider aspects of human nutrition and health. To ... -
Eruption frequency and magnitude in a geothermally active continental rift: The Bora-Baricha-Tullu Moye volcanic complex, Main Ethiopian Rift
(2022)Many Quaternary silicic volcanoes in the Main Ethiopian Rift pose a potential risk due to the poorly known eruptive histories of the volcanoes in combination with a high population density. In this study we provide new ...
