Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Garnet could be the ultimate petrochronometer. Not only can you date it directly (with an
accuracy and precision that may surprise some), but it is also a common rock-forming and …

Skarn deposits are one of the more abundant ore types in the earth's crust and form in rocks
of almost all ages. Skarn is a relatively simple rock type defined by a mineralogy usually …

Porphyry deposits arguably represent the most economically important class of nonferrous
metallic mineral resources. These magmatic-hydrothermal deposits are characterized by …

This study presents a new laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-
ICPMS) based U-Pb geochronometric method for dating grossular-andradite (grandite) …

Metamorphic and magmatic garnets are known to fractionate REE, with generally HREE-
enriched patterns, and high Lu/Hf and Sm/Nd ratios, making them very useful as …

Garnets from skarns in the Beinn an Dubhaich granite aureole, Isle of Skye, Scotland, have
a large range of concentrations of uranium (0· 2–358 ppm) and the rare earth elements …

Over the past decades, the burial realm, the most prolonged and arguably the least well‐
understood diagenetic environment, has received significant research attention. Despite …

We address the question of the predictability of skarn textures and their role in
understanding the evolution of a skarn system. Recent models of skarn formation show that …

Oscillatory zoned garnets are able to record numerous geological processes including
variations of physicochemical conditions and hydrothermal fluid evolution. In this …
