Friction characteristics of Cd-rich carbonate films on calcite surfaces: implications for compositional differentiation at the nanometer scale (2009)
Journal Article
Cubillas, P., & Higgins, S. (2009). Friction characteristics of Cd-rich carbonate films on calcite surfaces: implications for compositional differentiation at the nanometer scale. Geochemical Transactions, 10, Article 7. https://doi.org/10.1186/1467-4866-10-7

Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM) studies were carried out on cleaved calcite sections in contact with solutions supersaturated with respect to otavite (CdCO3) or calcite-otavite solid solutions (SS) as a means to examine the potential for future applic...

Late Cenozoic volcanism and rates of active faulting in eastern Iran (2009)
Journal Article
Walker, R., Gans, P., Allen, M., Jackson, J., Khatib, M., Marsh, N., & Zarrinkoub, M. (2009). Late Cenozoic volcanism and rates of active faulting in eastern Iran. Geophysical Journal International, 177(2), 783-805. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-246x.2008.04024.x

We present new 40Ar/39Ar ages of samples of volcanic rock exposed along the remote margins of the Dasht-e Lut desert in eastern Iran. Close spatial relationships between the volcanic rocks and the trace of active strike-slip faults allow us to determ...

The onset of the North Atlantic Igneous Province in a rifting perspective (2009)
Journal Article
Hansen, J., Jerram, D., McCaffrey, K., & Passey, S. (2009). The onset of the North Atlantic Igneous Province in a rifting perspective. Geological Magazine, 146(3), 309-325. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0016756809006347

The processes that led to the onset and evolution of the North Atlantic Igneous Province IN A I P) have been a theme of debate ill the past decades. A popular theory has been that the impingement on the lower lithosphere of a hot mantle plume (the 'A... Read More about The onset of the North Atlantic Igneous Province in a rifting perspective.

Introduction: from the British Tertiary into the future - modern perspectives on the British Palaeogene and North Atlantic Igneous provinces (2009)
Journal Article
Jerram, D. A., Goodenough, K. M., & Troll, V. R. (2009). Introduction: from the British Tertiary into the future - modern perspectives on the British Palaeogene and North Atlantic Igneous provinces. Geological Magazine, 146(3), 305-308. https://doi.org/10.1017/s001675680900627x

The study of volcanic rocks and igneous centres has long been a classic part of geological research. Despite the lack of active volcanism, the British Isles have been a key centre for the study of igneous rocks ever since ancient lava flows and excav...

Quaternary syn-collision magmatism from the Iran/Turkey borderlands (2009)
Journal Article
Kheirkhah, M., Allen, M., & Emami, M. (2009). Quaternary syn-collision magmatism from the Iran/Turkey borderlands. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 182(1-2), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2009.01.026

Quaternary basaltic and andesitic lavas from the NW Iran/eastern Turkey border area are related to the active Arabia–Eurasia collision. The lavas occur within the Turkish–Iranian plateau, which ceased crustal thickening before the establishment of a...

On the relation between trench migration, seafloor age, and the strength of the subducting lithosphere (2009)
Journal Article
Di Giuseppe, E., Faccenna, C., Funiciello, F., van Hunen, J., & Giardini, D. (2009). On the relation between trench migration, seafloor age, and the strength of the subducting lithosphere. Lithosphere, 1, 121-128. https://doi.org/10.1130/l26.1

Oceanic lithosphere thickens and strengthens as it grows older. Worldwide databases reveal that the age of the slab to a certain extent controls the subduction style. Old and thick (and consequently strong) slabs show a trench “advance,” while younge...
