Lower Crustal Heterogeneity and Fractional Crystallization Control Evolution of Small-volume Magma Batches at Ocean Island Volcanoes (Ascension Island, South Atlantic) (2019)
Journal Article
Chamberlain, K., Barclay, J., Preece, K., Brown, R., & Davidson, J. (2019). Lower Crustal Heterogeneity and Fractional Crystallization Control Evolution of Small-volume Magma Batches at Ocean Island Volcanoes (Ascension Island, South Atlantic). Journal of Petrology, 60(8), 1489-1522. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egz037

Ocean island volcanoes erupt a wide range of magmatic compositions via a diverse range of eruptive styles. Understanding where and how these melts evolve is thus an essential component in the anticipation of future volcanic activity. Here we examine...

The breakup of Laurasia to form the Northeast Atlantic Realm was the culmination of a long period of tectonic unrest extending back to the Late Palaeozoic. Breakup was prolonged and complex and disintegrated an inhomogeneous collage of cratons suture... Read More about The Iceland Microcontinent and a continental Greenland-Iceland-Faroe Ridge.

Cu and Zn isotope fractionation during extreme chemical weathering (2019)
Journal Article
Little, S. H., Munson, S., Prytulak, J., Coles, B. J., Hammond, S. J., & Widdowson, M. (2019). Cu and Zn isotope fractionation during extreme chemical weathering. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 263, 85-107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2019.07.057

Copper and Zn are trace metal micronutrients whose stable isotope systematics are receiving increasing attention as possible paleoenvironmental tracers. However, to realise this potential, their behaviour during chemical weathering must be better con... Read More about Cu and Zn isotope fractionation during extreme chemical weathering.

Revisiting the Great Ordovician Diversification of land plants: Recent data and perspectives (2019)
Journal Article
Servais, T., Cascales-Miñana, B., Cleal, C. J., Gerrienne, P., Harper, D. A., & Neumann, M. (2019). Revisiting the Great Ordovician Diversification of land plants: Recent data and perspectives. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 534, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2019.109280

Recent molecular clock data suggest with high probability a Cambrian origin of Embryophyta (also called land plants), indicating that their terrestrialization most probably started about 500 Ma. The fossil record of the ‘Cambrian Explosion’ was limit... Read More about Revisiting the Great Ordovician Diversification of land plants: Recent data and perspectives.

Turbulent diffusion modelling of sediment in turbidity currents: An experimental validation of the Rouse approach (2019)
Journal Article
Eggenhuisen, J. T., Tilston, M. C., Leeuw, J., Pohl, F., & Cartigny, M. J. (2020). Turbulent diffusion modelling of sediment in turbidity currents: An experimental validation of the Rouse approach. Depositional Record, 6(1), 203-216. https://doi.org/10.1002/dep2.86

The margins of submarine channels are characterized by deposits that fine away from the channel thalweg. This grain‐size trend is thought to reflect upward fining trends in the currents that formed the channels. This assumption enables reconstruction...
