A reappraisal of explosive–effusive silicic eruption dynamics: syn-eruptive assembly of lava from the products of cryptic fragmentation (2022)
Journal Article
Wadsworth, F. B., Llewellin, E. W., Castro, J. M., Tuffen, H., Schipper, C. I., Gardner, J. E., …Whattam, J. (2022). A reappraisal of explosive–effusive silicic eruption dynamics: syn-eruptive assembly of lava from the products of cryptic fragmentation. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 432, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2022.107672

Silicic volcanic eruptions range in style from gently effusive to highly explosive, and may switch style unpredictably during a single eruption. Direct observations of subaerial rhyolitic eruptions (Chaiten 2008, Cordón Caulle 2011–2012, Chile) chall...

Surface faulting earthquake clustering controlled by fault and shear-zone interactions (2022)
Journal Article
Mildon, Z. K., Roberts, G. P., Faure Walker, J. P., Beck, J., Papanikolaou, I., Michetti, A. M., …Vittori, E. (2022). Surface faulting earthquake clustering controlled by fault and shear-zone interactions. Nature Communications, 13(1), Article 7126. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-34821-5

Surface faulting earthquakes are known to cluster in time from historical and palaeoseismic studies, but the mechanism(s) responsible for clustering, such as fault interaction, strain-storage, and evolving dynamic topography, are poorly quantified, a...

Detrital zircons from high-pressure trench sediments (Qilian Orogen): Constraints on continental-arc accretion, subduction initiation and polarity of the Proto-Tethys Ocean (2022)
Journal Article
Xiong, L., Song, S., Su, L., Zhang, G., Allen, M. B., Feng, D., & Yang, S. (2023). Detrital zircons from high-pressure trench sediments (Qilian Orogen): Constraints on continental-arc accretion, subduction initiation and polarity of the Proto-Tethys Ocean. Gondwana Research, 113, 194-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gr.2022.11.005

The Qilian Orogen in the northern Tibetan plateau records the tectonic history of the Proto-Tethys Ocean from its initial spreading, subduction to final closure. However, the timing of subduction initiation, subduction polarity and arc volcanic proce...

High-Precision Geochronology of the Xiaojiayingzi Mo Skarn Deposit: Implications for Prolonged and Episodic Hydrothermal Pulses (2022)
Journal Article
Ouyang, H., Gaynor, S. P., Selby, D., Mao, J., Shu, Q., & Li, C. (2023). High-Precision Geochronology of the Xiaojiayingzi Mo Skarn Deposit: Implications for Prolonged and Episodic Hydrothermal Pulses. Economic geology and the bulletin of the Society of Economic Geologists, 118(2), 485-507. https://doi.org/10.5382/econgeo.4984

The timescales and duration of ore-forming processes in skarn systems are not well constrained. To better understand this, we present high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (CA-ID-TIMS) U-Pb zircon and...

How are silicic volcanic and plutonic systems related? Part 2: Insights from phase-equilibria, thermodynamic modelling and textural evidence (2022)
Journal Article
Petford, N. (2022). How are silicic volcanic and plutonic systems related? Part 2: Insights from phase-equilibria, thermodynamic modelling and textural evidence. Earth-Science Reviews, 235, Article 104250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2022.104250

Thermodynamic modelling shows that, although high-silica rhyolitic melts can form through fractionation of
low-silica rhyolitic magmas the complementary cumulates do not have compositions similar to natural plutonic
granites. Rather than being gran... Read More about How are silicic volcanic and plutonic systems related? Part 2: Insights from phase-equilibria, thermodynamic modelling and textural evidence.

The Influence of Grain Size Distribution on Mechanical Compaction and Compaction Localization in Porous Rocks (2022)
Journal Article
Carbillet, L., Heap, M. J., Baud, P., Wadsworth, F. B., & Reuschlé, T. (2022). The Influence of Grain Size Distribution on Mechanical Compaction and Compaction Localization in Porous Rocks. Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth, 127(11), https://doi.org/10.1029/2022jb025216

The modes of formation of clastic rocks result in a wide variety of microstructures, from poorly-sorted heterogeneous rocks to well-sorted and nominally homogeneous rocks. The mechanical behavior and failure mode of clastic rocks is known to vary wit...

Low-degree melt metasomatic origin of heavy Fe isotope enrichment in the MORB mantle (2022)
Journal Article

Studies of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) show a variable Fe isotope composition of the oceanic upper mantle. To test a recent hypothesis that heavy Fe isotope enrichment in the MORB mantle results from the same process of incompatible element enrich...

Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) fluxes from the land to ocean have been quantified for many rivers globally. However, CO2 fluxes to the atmosphere from inland waters are quantitatively significant components of the global carbon cycle that are curre...
