Volcanic activity at Phlegraean Fields, Italy, produced several major marker tephras over a 50 ka period. The caldera forming eruptions of the Campanian Ignimbrite (CI) and Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (NYT) are of particular ...

In recent years, the use of multiple low-temperature thermochronometers combined with inverse thermal history modelling of multiple samples on vertical profiles has been shown capable of detecting low magnitude exhumation ...

Large Magnitude (6–8) Late Quaternary Japanese volcanic eruptions are responsible for widespread ash (tephra) dispersals providing key isochrons suitable for the synchronisation and dating of palaeoclimate archives across ...

The Caribou Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Zn-Pb deposit in the Appalachians of Eastern Canada is hosted by Middle Ordovician shale and felsic volcanic rocks and deposited in a back-arc environment. The entire mineralised ...

The compositions of phyllosilicates, with a focus on fluid-mobile elements, were evaluated as a means to fingerprint the Middle Ordovician metamorphosed (greenschist facies) volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits of the ...

Zircon [ZrSiO4] is a naturally occurring mineral commonly used in geochronological, isotope and elemental geochemical studies. It can form as an accessory phase in a wide variety of magmatic and metamorphic conditions and ...

Magmatic-hydrothermal porphyry copper deposits are the world's primary sources of Cu. Moreover, these may contain extractable concentrations of rare metal(loid)s e.g., Se, Te, In, Co, Ge, Ga, Ag, Au and Re. Some of these ...

Zircon (ZrSiO4) is the most commonly used mineral in U–Pb geochronology. Although it has proven to be a robust chronometer, it can suffer from Pb-loss or elevated common Pb, both of which impede precision and accuracy of ...
