Late to post-Caledonian, Devonian extension remains unresolved in the SW Barents Sea, despite considerable knowledge from onshore Norway, East Greenland and Svalbard. We analyse intrabasement seismic facies high-resolution 3D reprocessed 2D data investigate evidence for Caledonian deformation post-Caledonian detachment faulting central Sea. These results are compared published potential field m...

Sandstone petrography, zircon and apatite U-Pb geochronology, geochemistry of Early Cretaceous siliciclastic turbidites interbedded with basalt (Chivillas Formation) in the southern Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico, indicate local provenance from westerly basement sources. Three main detrital populations were observed both geochronology: Meso–Neoproterozoic, Carboniferous–Permian, Cretaceous. Apat...

The western segment of the suture zone between Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks, which is most important tectonic boundary related to formation rifting south China, enigmatic not fully understood due sporadic exposure Precambrian strata ophiolites. Three-dimensional electrical resistivity models derived from inversion magnetotelluric data identified a lithospheric-scale conductive extending northea...

Summary Fault slip induced by fluid perturbation in shale formations may only lead to as sparse seismicity. However, fault strongly impact the integrity of that serve caprocks for geological reservoirs holding buoyant fluids such CO2, natural gas, or hydrogen. A better understanding reactivation processes and seismic triggering process is therefore critical reservoir monitoring stability. Here ...

The Bowland Shale Formation is one of the most promising targets for unconventional exploration in United Kingdom, with estimated resources large enough to supply country's entire natural gas consumption 50 years. However, development has stalled due concerns over hydraulic-fracturing induced seismicity. Only three wells have been drilled and hydraulic fractured date Shale, all produced levels ...

Abstract Observations of ancient deep deformation systems on Mars are important for constraining planetary dynamics, as well to identify potential mineral resources. However, such were thought be unexposed and inaccessible analysis. Here, we apply structural hyperspectral analyses, correlate results with magnetic anomaly patterns, investigate two large right-lateral brittle-ductile shear zones ...

Garnet is the most common alteration mineral in skarn-type deposits, and geochronological research on it can limit mineralization age. The Longwan Pb–Zn deposit, situated within Fozichong ore field Guangxi, lacks precise data, limiting in-depth comprehension of its genesis tectonic setting. This study employs LA-ICP-MS U–Pb dating garnets developed skarn orebody zircons associated granitic porp...
