EAG Sponsored Virtual Short Course: Recent Developments and Applications in earth sciences of electron probe micro-analysis
Sponsored by the EAG 2021 Short Course and Conference Sponsorship Program, and hosted by the Agricultural University of Athens, the five-day “Recent Developments and Applications in earth sciences of electron probe micro-analysis” virtual short course will take place from 5-9 April 2021.
Combining online lectures and participant poster presentations, the course aims to educate undergraduates, graduates, and early career researchers in the theory and practice of Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), with a specific focus on its application to geochemistry. Visit the website for further information and register by 1 March.

Integration of elemental and isotope data supports a Neoproterozoic Adamastor Ocean realm
A robust elemental and isotopic dataset from Neoproterozoic igneous rocks discloses protracted consumption of oceanic lithosphere in the 3,000 km long orogenic system of southeastern South America. Time dependent isotopic variation trends suggest that Tonian-Cryogenian magmatic...

Noble gas incorporation into silicate glasses: implications for planetary volatile storage
Incorporation of small molecules in silicate melts may provide an important mechanism for storing noble gases in the deep Earth, yet the means by which chemically inert noble gases enter and are retained in silica-based materials is not understood. High pressure, room temperature sound...

Morphology dominated rapid oxidation of framboidal pyrite
The rapid oxidation of framboidal pyrite is conventionally attributed to its fine grain size. However, the effect of the crystal facets of the microcrystals in the framboids on the oxidation process has been overlooked. We synthesised pyrite monocrystals of microscopic size...

Olivines in main-group pallasites: magma-ocean cumulates or partial melting residues?
Main-group pallasites (MGPs) are meteorites mainly composed of Fe-Ni metal and olivines, the latter being considered as one of the largest sampling of extraterrestrial mantle material available for study on Earth. We analysed the rare earth element (REE) concentrations of olivines...

Abiotic formation of organic biomorphs under diagenetic conditions
The most ancient fossil record contains fundamentally important information on both the diversity and disparity of ancient life. Yet this ancient record is not that easy to decode, due to difficulties mainly pertaining to the impact of the geological history. Thus, the convergence...

Chlorine isotope ratios record magmatic brine assimilation during rhyolite genesis
Magmatic volatile phases within crustal silicic magma domains influence key volcanic processes such as the build up to eruptions and formation of magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits. However, the extent and nature of fluid-melt interaction in such environments is poorly understood, as...

Substance found in Antarctic ice may solve a Martian mystery
[Science] Researchers have discovered a common martian mineral deep within an ice core from Antarctica. The find suggests the mineral—a brittle, yellow-brown substance known as jarosite—was forged the same way on both Earth and Mars: from dust trapped within ancient ice deposits...

Life on Mars? Escaping water vapour offers new clues
[The Guardian] Researchers have observed water vapour escaping high up in the thin atmosphere of Mars, offering tantalising new clues as to whether the red planet could have once hosted life. The traces of ancient valleys and river channels suggest liquid water once flowed across the surface of...

Researchers rethink life in a cold climate after Antarctic find
[The Guardian] The accidental discovery of marine organisms on a boulder on the sea floor beneath 900 metres (3,000ft) of Antarctic ice shelf has led scientists to rethink the limits of life on Earth. Researchers stumbled on the life-bearing rock after sinking a borehole through nearly a kilometre of...

What might Earth’s next supercontinent look like? New study provides clues
[Science] From Columbia to Rodinia to Pangaea, Earth has seen a few supercontinents come and go in its ancient past. Now, researchers theorize that these giant landmasses form in regular cycles, about once every 600 million years. They even predict when and where the next supercontinent...

Palaeoclimate puzzle explained by seasonal variation
[Nature News and Views] Understanding past climate change is crucial for putting modern global warming in context. Reconstructions of climate during the Holocene — the current interglacial epoch, which began 11,700 years ago — based on geological evidence suggest that a peak in global mean...

'Colder and deeper’: Scientists close in on spot to drill Antarctic ice core 1.5m years old
[The Guardian] Antarctic scientists are close to finalising a drilling location deep in the frozen continent’s interior that could reveal a continuous record of the Earth’s climate going back 1.5 million years. After almost a decade of work, scientists at the Australian Antarctic Division are close to pinpointing...

The Arctic Ocean might have been filled with freshwater during ice ages
[Nature News and Views] The Arctic region is undergoing rapid climatic and environmental change1, so knowledge of its past variability is crucial for understanding modern trends and predicting future ones. Ancient climate conditions and ocean behaviour are often reconstructed by analysing...
