Assessment of natural radioactivity and radon release potential of Silurian black shales
(2023)Many countries are developing a radon action plan to provide decision-makers with a reliable tool for reducing the harmful effects of radon exposure in dwellings and among the general public and, accordingly, to implement ... -
Applying machine learning to model radon using topsoil geochemistry
(2023)Radon is classified as a Class 1 carcinogen, being the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Understanding the prominent sources of radon helps to mitigate against the adverse effects of radon exposure. Considering ... -
Age of the oldest known Homo sapiens from eastern Africa
(2022)Efforts to date the oldest modern human fossils in eastern Africa, from Omo-Kibish and Herto in Ethiopia, have drawn on a variety of chronometric evidence, including 40Ar/39Ar ages of stratigraphically associated tuffs. ... -
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 ... -
Uranium-lead geochronology applied to pyrope garnet with very low concentrations of uranium
(2023)We present U–Pb dates from peridotitic pyrope-rich garnet from four mantle xenoliths entrained in a kimberlite from Bultfontein, South Africa. Garnet dates magmatic emplacement due to the high mantle residence temperatures ...
