Highlights in the field of air analysis included: a new focus on measuring tyre-wear particle
emissions; an interest in using unmanned aerial vehicles for sampling purposes and an …

Abstract The Cenozoic Sulu Sea arc‐basin system is situated in the tectonic junction
between the South China Sea (SCS), northern Borneo, Palawan Continental Terrane …

Lusingle bond Hf geochronology is a powerful method to constrain the temporal evolution of
geological systems. Traditional application of this dating method requires time-consuming …

The formation of stable, evolved (silica-rich) crust was essential in constructing Earth's first
cratons, the ancient nuclei of continents. Eoarchaean (4000–3600 million years ago, Ma) …

Recent developments in laser-ablation Lu–Hf dating have opened a new opportunity to
rapidly obtain apatite ages that are potentially more robust to isotopic resetting compared to …

The onset and rates of continental growth are first-order indicators of early Earth dynamics,
and whether substantial crust existed in the Hadean or much later has long been debated …

The widely distributed granitic intrusions in the Nubian Shield can provide comprehensive
data for understanding its crustal evolution. We present new bulk-rock geochemistry and …

Fluorite (CaF 2) is a common hydrothermal mineral, which precipitates from fluorine-rich
fluids with an exceptional capacity to transport metals and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) …

The nature and evolution of Earth's crust during the Hadean and Eoarchean is largely
unknown owing to a paucity of material preserved from this period. However, clues may be …

Understanding the provenance of megaliths used in the Neolithic stone circle at
Stonehenge, southern England, gives insight into the culture and connectivity of prehistoric …
