The Precambrian rocks in western Ethiopia consist of highand low-grade terranes intruded by granitoids with a wide compositional spectrum. The formation ages of these granitoid rocks are, so far, poorly understood. Single-grain zircon Pb/Pb evaporation and conventional U/Pb dating conducted on four granitoids places time constraints on their emplacement and tectonothermal events. Three granitoi...

This study reports the first detailed geochemical characterization of Kolumbo submarine volcano in order to investigate the role of source heterogeneity in controlling geochemical variability within the Santorini volcanic field in the central Aegean arc. Kolumbo, situated 15 km to the northeast of Santorini, last erupted in 1650 AD and is thus closely associated with the Santorini volcanic syst...

New high resolution seismic data (Subbottom Chirp) coupled to high resolution Multibeam bathymetry collected in the frame of the Stromboli geophysical experiment aimed at recording active seismic data and tomography of the Stromboli Island are here presented. The Stromboli geophysical experiment has been already carried out based on onshore and offshore data acquisition in order to investigate ...

Mt. Pinatubo is one of several recent-age volcanoes along the west Luzon volcanic arc. A fumarole near the suminit emits gases with magmatic characteristics. Several thermal springs on the east and west flanks yield various fluid typos, including neutral chloride and bicarbonate. Three wellbores probed the Mt. Pinatubo caldera from elevations of +1230 through -1600 mRSL. Trajectories may be des...

The collaborative federal–provincial Southern Indian Lake project in north-central Manitoba covered an area of more than 3500 km 2 the Trans-Hudson orogen. Regional-scale geological mapping, sampling, and lithogeochemical, isotopic, geochronological studies resulted identification distinct assemblages supracrustal rocks varied episodes plutonism. A granodiorite gneiss dated at ca. 2520 Ma is in...

1) An accretionary prism with a constant width of approximately 75 km does exist; 2) The morphology of this prism varies rapidly along the arc and is linked, firstly to the morphology and structure of the upper part of the dipping plate and, secondly to the presence of volcanic island acting as sediment sources; The island arc and its connecting structural features such as troughs at the rear o...

Article history: Received 6 October 2016 Accepted 29 January 2017 Available online 08 February 2017 Widespread Late Triassic granitoid rocks in the SouthQinling Belt (SQB) represent excellent subjects to study the geochemical and geodynamic evolution of magmatic rocks during the collision between the North China Craton and South China Block. In this study, we report new geological, geochemical,...
