The signature and mechanics of earthquake ruptures along shallow creeping faults in poorly lithified sediments (2014)
Journal Article
Balsamo, F., Aldega, L., De Paola, N., Faoro, I., & Storti, F. (2014). The signature and mechanics of earthquake ruptures along shallow creeping faults in poorly lithified sediments. Geology, 42(5), 435-438. https://doi.org/10.1130/g35272.1

Seismic slip episodically occurring along shallow creeping faults in poorly lithified sediments represents an unsolved paradox, largely due to our poor understanding of the mechanics governing creeping faults and the lack of documented geological evi...

Structural characteristics and Re–Os dating of quartz-pyrite veins in the Lewisian Gneiss Complex, NW Scotland: Evidence of an Early Paleoproterozoic hydrothermal regime during terrane amalgamation (2014)
Journal Article

Structural characteristics and Re–Os dating of quartz-pyrite veins in the Lewisian Gneiss Complex, NW Scotland: Evidence of an Early Paleoproterozoic hydrothermal regime during terrane amalgamation. Precambrian Research, 246, 256-267. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.precamres.2014.03.007

In the Archaean basement rocks of the Assynt and Gruinard terranes of the mainland Lewisian Complex in NW Scotland, a regional suite of quartz-pyrite veins cross-cut regional Palaeoproterozoic (Badcallian, ca. 2700 Ma; Inverian, ca. 2480 Ma) fabrics...

The emergence and growth of a submarine volcano: The Kameni islands, Santorini (Greece) (2014)
Journal Article
Nomikou, P., Parks, M., Papanikolaou, D., Pyle, D., Mather, T., Carey, S., …Perros, I. (2014). The emergence and growth of a submarine volcano: The Kameni islands, Santorini (Greece). GeoResJ (Amsterdam), 1-2, 8-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.grj.2014.02.002

The morphology of a volcanic edifice reflects the integrated eruptive and evolutionary history of that system, and can be used to reconstruct the time-series of prior eruptions. We present a new high-resolution merged LiDAR-bathymetry grid, which has... Read More about The emergence and growth of a submarine volcano: The Kameni islands, Santorini (Greece).

The tectonic geomorphology of bedrock scarps on active normal faults in the Italian Apennines mapped using combined ground penetrating radar and terrestrial laser scanning (2014)
Journal Article
Bubeck, A., Wilkinson, M., Roberts, G., Cowie, P., McCaffrey, K., Phillips, R., & Sammonds, P. (2015). The tectonic geomorphology of bedrock scarps on active normal faults in the Italian Apennines mapped using combined ground penetrating radar and terrestrial laser scanning. Geomorphology, 237, 38-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2014.03.011

Using combined datasets from ground penetrating radar (GPR) and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) we document the variety of tectono-geomorphic features that contribute to the morphology of bedrock scarps associated with active extensional faulting in...

Pyroclastic edifices record vigorous lava fountains during the emplacement of a flood basalt flow field, Roza Member, Columbia River Basalt Province, USA (2014)
Journal Article
Brown, R., Blake, S., Thordarson, T., & Self, S. (2014). Pyroclastic edifices record vigorous lava fountains during the emplacement of a flood basalt flow field, Roza Member, Columbia River Basalt Province, USA. GSA Bulletin, 126(7-8), 875-891. https://doi.org/10.1130/b30857.1

The 1300 km3 tholeiitic lava flow field of the 14.98 Ma Roza Member of the Columbia River Basalt Province has the best-preserved vent system of any known continental flood basalt. Detailed geological mapping and logging of the exposed pyroclastic roc...

A method of estimating in-stream residence time of water in rivers (2014)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., Howden, N., & Burt, T. (2014). A method of estimating in-stream residence time of water in rivers. Journal of Hydrology, 512, 274-284. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2014.02.050

This study develops a method for estimating the average in-stream residence time of water in a river channel and across large catchments, i.e. the time between water entering a river and reaching a downstream monitoring point. The methodology uses ri... Read More about A method of estimating in-stream residence time of water in rivers.

Reconstructing modern stalagmite growth from cave monitoring, local meteorology, and experimental measurements of dripwater films (2014)
Journal Article
Baker, A., Mattey, D., & Baldini, J. (2014). Reconstructing modern stalagmite growth from cave monitoring, local meteorology, and experimental measurements of dripwater films. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 392, 239-249. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2014.02.036

Interpretations of high-resolution proxy datasets from stalagmites require support from long-term cave monitoring data and quantified changes in sample growth rate. One cave site for which the modern climate signal transfer systematics are relatively...

Petrogenesis of Ophiolite-type Chromite Deposits in China and Some New Perspectives (2014)
Journal Article
Hu, Z., Niu, Y., Liu, Y., Zhang, G., Sun, W., & Ma, Y. (2014). Petrogenesis of Ophiolite-type Chromite Deposits in China and Some New Perspectives. Gaoxiao dizhi xuebao, 20(1), 9-27

Ophiolites of varying ages are widespread in China, some of which contain chromite deposites of industrial value. However, compared with some of the world’s large ophiolite chromite deposites (e.g., Kempirsai, Bulquiza, Guleman), the Chinese chromite...
