Abstract: Snow depth (SD) knowledge is significant in many applications related to hydrology, climate, and disaster management. Many SD models are developed using multifrequency spaceborne passive ...

ABSTRACT: P-T trajectories based on depth-controlled metamorphism have been questioned by some scholars, as they only consider static rock pressure and ignore fluid pressure, tectonic stress, and ...

Calcite veins, different grain sizes in the gray marble, bands of darker, slightly foliated rock, likely a type of slate. Figure 3: Close-up of the marble showing bands of light gray marble and bands ...

ABSTRACT: With the aim to contribute to the search for the source of placer gold, the Les Saras sector, located in the south-western part of the Republic of the Congo in the Mayombe chain, has been ...

Chinese scientists found for the first time a meteorite crater on a mountain ridge, the discovery of which enriches human's understanding of the planetary collision history and provides a new ...

Metamorphic/tectonic evolution of mountain ranges, stable isotopes of vertebrate fossils for paleoclimate and paleoecology, geochemistry of metamorphic minerals and fossils. I currently have projects ...

Plate convergence can induce large-scale metamorphism and magmatism, reshape large parts of continental margins, and subsequently change regional climate and biodiversity. Metamorphic rocks in orogens ...
