Origin, sequence stratigraphy and depositional environment of an upper Ordovician (Hirnantian) deglacial black shale, Jordan (2005)
Journal Article
Armstrong, H. A., Turner, B. R., Makhlouf, I., Weedon, G., Williams, M., Al Smadi, A., & Abu Salah, A. (2005). Origin, sequence stratigraphy and depositional environment of an upper Ordovician (Hirnantian) deglacial black shale, Jordan. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 220(3-4), 273-289. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2005.01.007

The upper Ordovician succession of Jordan was located 60°S, less than 100 km from the Hirnantian ice sheet margin. New graptolite dates indicate glaciation ended in Jordan in the late Hirnantian (persculptus Biozone). The succession records two glaci...

Direct radiometric dating of hydrocarbon deposits using Rhenium-Osmium isotopes (2005)
Journal Article
Selby, D., & Creaser, R. (2005). Direct radiometric dating of hydrocarbon deposits using Rhenium-Osmium isotopes. Science, 308(5726), 1293-1295. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1111081

Rhenium-osmium (Re-Os) data from migrated hydrocarbons establish the timing of petroleum emplacement for the giant oil sand deposits of Alberta, Canada, at 112 ± 5.3 million years ago. This date does not support models that invoke oil generation and... Read More about Direct radiometric dating of hydrocarbon deposits using Rhenium-Osmium isotopes.

High-3He/4He, depleted mantle and low-δ18O, recycled oceanic lithosphere in the source of central Iceland magmatism (2005)
Journal Article
Macpherson, C., Hilton, D., Day, J., Lowry, D., & Gronvold, K. (2005). High-3He/4He, depleted mantle and low-δ18O, recycled oceanic lithosphere in the source of central Iceland magmatism. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 233(3-4), 411-427. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2005.02.037

New helium and oxygen isotope data and trace element concentrations are reported for volcanic rocks from central Iceland. Basalts that are depleted in the most incompatible trace elements possess a wide range in 3He/4He but most ratios are similar to...

Bubble suspension rheology and implications for conduit flow (2005)
Journal Article
Llewellin, E., & Manga, M. (2005). Bubble suspension rheology and implications for conduit flow. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 143(1-3), 205-217. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2004.09.018

Bubbles are ubiquitous in magma during eruption and influence the rheology of the suspension. Despite this, bubble-suspension rheology is routinely ignored in conduit-flow and eruption models, potentially impairing accuracy and resulting in the loss...

Nitrogen and carbon partitioning in diagenetic and hydrothermal minerals from Paleozoic Black Shales, (Selwyn Basin, Yukon Territories, Canada) (2005)
Journal Article

Chemical Geology, 218(3-4), 249-264. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2005.01.012

Selected mineralized black shales of Devonian age from the Selwyn Basin, Northwest Territories (Canada) were analyzed by Nuclear Reaction Analyses (NRA) and electron microprobe for nitrogen and carbon in silicates, sulfides, phosphates and organic ma...

Modelling Holocene Relative Sea-Level Observations from the Caribbean and South America (2005)
Journal Article
Milne, G., Long, A., & Bassett, S. (2005). Modelling Holocene Relative Sea-Level Observations from the Caribbean and South America. Quaternary Science Reviews, 24(10-11), 1183-1202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2004.10.005

Holocene data from the Caribbean and the Atlantic coast of South America have been critically assessed and a subset of the best quality data are presented. These data cover a large north–south geographic extent and display a distinct spatial variatio...

The influence of lithology and pre-existing structures on reservoir-scale faulting patterns in transtensional rift zones (2005)
Journal Article
De Paola, N., Holdsworth, R., & McCaffrey, K. (2005). The influence of lithology and pre-existing structures on reservoir-scale faulting patterns in transtensional rift zones. Journal of the Geological Society, 162(3), 471-480. https://doi.org/10.1144/0016-764904-043

In transtensional and transpressional deformation zones, bulk 3D strains are often kinematically partitioned into regions of wrench- and extension- or shortening-dominated faulting. Most strain models assume ideal incompressible materials with a Pois...

Fluxes of dissolved carbon dioxide and inorganic carbon from an upland peat catchment: implications for soil respiration (2005)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., Burt, T., & Adamson, J. (2005). Fluxes of dissolved carbon dioxide and inorganic carbon from an upland peat catchment: implications for soil respiration. Biogeochemistry, 73(3), 515-539. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-004-1717-2

This study uses long-term water chemistry records for a circum-neutral peat stream to reconstruct a 7-year record of dissolved CO2 and DIC flux from the catchment. Combining catchment flux with a knowledge of in-stream metabolism and gas evasion from...
