The nature and history of the Qilian Block in the context of the development of the Greater Tibetan Plateau (2015)
Journal Article
Huang, H., Niu, Y., Nowell, G., Zhao, Z., Yu, X., & Mo, X. (2015). The nature and history of the Qilian Block in the context of the development of the Greater Tibetan Plateau. Gondwana Research, 28(1), 209-224. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gr.2014.02.010

The Palaeozoic granitoids in the Qilian Block are important for understanding the tectonic evolution of the Northern Tibetan Plateau. We choose granitoids from Huangyuan (HY) and Gangcha (Gcha) for a detailed study. The granitoids are S-type and I-ty...

Highly saline fluids from a subducting slab as the source for fluid-rich diamonds (2015)
Journal Article
Weiss, Y., McNeill, J., Pearson, D. G., Nowell, G. M., & Ottley, C. J. (2015). Highly saline fluids from a subducting slab as the source for fluid-rich diamonds. Nature, 524(7565), 339-344. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature14857

The infiltration of fluids into continental lithospheric mantle is a key mechanism for controlling abrupt changes in the chemical and physical properties of the lithospheric root1,2, as well as diamond formation3, yet the origin and composition of th...

Can Fractional Crystallization, Mixing and Assimilation Processes be Responsible for Jamaican-type Adakites? Implications for Generating Eoarchaean Continental Crust (2015)
Journal Article
Hastie, A., Fitton, J., Mitchell, S., Neill, I., Nowell, G., & Millar, I. (2015). Can Fractional Crystallization, Mixing and Assimilation Processes be Responsible for Jamaican-type Adakites? Implications for Generating Eoarchaean Continental Crust. Journal of Petrology, 56(7), 1251-1283. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egv029

Understanding how the Earth’s first continental land masses were generated is important because the processes responsible directly affected the evolution of the planet’s primordial silicate interior, and also its atmosphere and hydrosphere. Archaean... Read More about Can Fractional Crystallization, Mixing and Assimilation Processes be Responsible for Jamaican-type Adakites? Implications for Generating Eoarchaean Continental Crust.
