Abstract We report a new zircon U–Pb age of 1257 ± 6 Ma for the Punugodu granite (PG) pluton in Eastern Dharwar Craton (EDC), Southern India. The Mesoproterozoic PG is alkali feldspar hypersolvus emplaced at shallow crustal level, as evident from presence rhyodacite xenoliths and hornfelsic texture developed metavolcanic country rocks Neoarchaean Nellore Schist Belt (NSB). Geochemically, metalu...

Abstract Late Cretaceous felsic and latest Cretaceous-Paleogene basaltic volcanic rocks are exposed throughout the Kyrenia Range, N Cyprus. Field mapping of key, well-exposed western range indicates that volcanics mainly crop out in southerly, frontal part range, separated from farther north by a thrust. New U-Pb zircon dating primary age c. 74.0?Ma (Late Campanian). The characterised evolved c...

Mapping the spatial extent of recently identified englacial hydrological features (i.e., ice slabs and perennial firn aquifers) formed by meters-thick water-saturated layers over percolation facies Greenland Ice Sheet using L-band microwave radiometry has been demonstrated. However, these initial maps are binary, do not provide a parameter to estimate variability in thickness volumetric ...

Abstract. Owing to differing and complex snow geophysical properties, radar waves of different wavelengths undergo variable penetration through snow-covered sea ice. However, the mechanisms influencing altimeter backscatter from ice, especially at Ka- Ku-band frequencies, impact on scattering horizon or “track point” (i.e. layer depth detected by re-tracker) are not well understood. In this stu...

Abstract During the middle Miocene, forearc alkaline magmatism occurred in Outer Zone of Southwest Japan and northern Ryukyu Arc, resulting formation basaltic rocks with ocean island basalt (OIB)-like chemical signatures. In contrast, subduction-related was present central Arc. However, southwestern margin poorly constrained We examined two dikes Chichibu accretionary complex Amami-Oshima Islan...
