On the compositional variability of dalyite, K2ZrSi6O15: a new occurrence from Terceira, Azores (2016)
Journal Article
Jeffery, A., Gertisser, R., Jackson, R., O'Driscoll, B., & Kronz, A. (2016). On the compositional variability of dalyite, K2ZrSi6O15: a new occurrence from Terceira, Azores. Mineralogical Magazine, 547-565. https://doi.org/10.1180/minmag.2016.080.018

The rare potassium zirconium silicate dalyite has been identified for the first time on Terceira, Azores, within syenitic ejecta of the Caldeira-Castelinho Ignimbrite Formation. New quantitative analyses of this dalyite were combined with the small n... Read More about On the compositional variability of dalyite, K2ZrSi6O15: a new occurrence from Terceira, Azores.

Petrogenesis and contrasting eruption styles of peralkaline silicic magmas from Terceira and São Miguel, Azores (2016)
Thesis
Jeffrey, A. J. Petrogenesis and contrasting eruption styles of peralkaline silicic magmas from Terceira and São Miguel, Azores. (Thesis). Keele University. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/407274

The petrogenetic processes through which peralkaline silicic magmas are generated in oceanic island environments, as well as the controls on their eruptive behaviour, are not well understood. This study utilises two such systems, Pico Alto and Furnas... Read More about Petrogenesis and contrasting eruption styles of peralkaline silicic magmas from Terceira and São Miguel, Azores.

Fluid-induced breakdown of white mica controls nitrogen transfer during fluid-rock interaction in subduction zones (2016)
Journal Article
Halama, R., Bebout, G., Marschall, H., & John, T. (2016). Fluid-induced breakdown of white mica controls nitrogen transfer during fluid-rock interaction in subduction zones. International Geology Review, 702-720. https://doi.org/10.1080/00206814.2016.1233834

In order to determine the effects of fluid–rock interaction on nitrogen elemental and isotopic systematics in high-pressure metamorphic rocks, we investigated three different profiles representing three distinct scenarios of metasomatic overprinting....

Geophysical and botanical monitoring of simulated graves in a tropical rainforest, Colombia, South America (2016)
Journal Article
Martin Molina, C., Pringle, J. K., Saumett, M., & Evans, G. T. (2016). Geophysical and botanical monitoring of simulated graves in a tropical rainforest, Colombia, South America. Journal of Applied Geophysics, 232-242. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jappgeo.2016.10.002

In most Latin American countries there are significant numbers of missing people and forced disappearances, currently ~74,000 only in Colombia. Successful detection of shallow buried human remains by forensic search teams is currently difficult in va...

Evidence for pre-Caledonian discontinuities in the Achnashellach Culmination, Moine Thrust Zone: the importance of a pre-thrust template in influencing fold and thrust belt development (2016)
Journal Article
Cain, T., Leslie, A., Clarke, S., Kelly, M., & Krabbendam, M. (2016). Evidence for pre-Caledonian discontinuities in the Achnashellach Culmination, Moine Thrust Zone: the importance of a pre-thrust template in influencing fold and thrust belt development. Scottish Journal of Geology, 103-109. https://doi.org/10.1144/sjg2015-002

South of the Loch Maree Fault in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland, an unexplained step-wise thickening of Torridon Group strata, from c. 200–1000 m, occurs towards the Loch Maree Fault, within the trailing edges of the stacked thrust sheets of the...

Transitions between explosive and effusive phases during the cataclysmic 2010 eruption of Merapi volcano, Java, Indonesia (2016)
Journal Article
Gertisser. (2016). Transitions between explosive and effusive phases during the cataclysmic 2010 eruption of Merapi volcano, Java, Indonesia. Bulletin of Volcanology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-016-1046-z

Transitions between explosive and effusive activity are commonly observed during dome-forming eruptions and may be linked to factors such as magma influx, ascent rate and degassing. However, the interplay between these factors is complex and the resu...

Heavy minerals and garnet geochemistry of stream sediments and bedrocks from the Almklovdalen area, Western Gneiss Region, SW Norway: Implications for provenance analysis (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Heavy minerals and garnet geochemistry of stream sediments and bedrocks from the Almklovdalen area, Western Gneiss Region, SW Norway: Implications for provenance analysis. Sedimentary Geology, 96 -105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sedgeo.2015.09.009

Detrital heavy minerals commonly document the geological setting in the source area, hence they are widely used in sedimentary provenance analysis. In heavy mineral studies, the 63–125 and 63–250 µm grain size fractions are most commonly used. Heavy...
