Fluid evolution in the Strange Lake granitic pluton, Canada: Implications for HFSE mobilisation

U-series isotopic disequilibrium produced during experimental melting of granitic crust: Implications for shallow-level assimilation and pluton remobilisation

Although the production of U-series disequilibria during metasomatic and partial-melting processes in Earth’s mantle is well studied, the effects of melting and assimilation processes during ascent and storage of magma in the crust are less well understood. To investigate disequilibria arising via this mechanism, we have conducted U-series measurements on the products of laboratory experiments ...

Euxinic conditions recorded in the ca. 1.93 Ga Bravo Lake Formation, Nunavut (Canada): Implications for oceanic redox evolution

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Mazeno Pass Pluton and Jutial Pluton, Pakistan Himalaya: age and implications for entrapment mechanisms of two granites in the Himalaya

Zircon and monazite U-(Th)-Pb ion microprobe analysis were performed on the Mazeno Pass pluton and the Jutial pluton, two leucogranite bodies within the Nanga Parbat-Haramosh massif (NPHM), Pakistan Himalaya. Zircon rim ages and monazite ages indicate the Mazeno Pass pluton in southwest NPHM intruded at 1.40 ‹ 0.05 Ma; the Jutial pluton, to the north, similarly yields concordant zircon and mona...

THE OCCURRENCE AND ORIGIN OF ZABUYELITE (Li2CO3) IN SPODUMENE-HOSTED FLUID INCLUSIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE INTERNAL EVOLUTION OF RARE-ELEMENT GRANITIC PEGMATITES

Solid – liquid – vapor fluid inclusions in spodumene in rare-element granitic pegmatites commonly contain one or more highbirefringence minerals. Optical examination and laser Raman spectroscopic analyses of over 500 crystal-rich fluid inclusions in spodumene from Bikita and Kamativi, Zimbabwe, and Bernic Lake (Tanco), Manitoba, indicate that the high-birefringence phase is zabuyelite (Li2CO3)....
