Detrital heavy minerals have helped address geologically complex issues such as the
nature and origin of the early terrestrial crust, the growth and evolution of the continental …

Tracing ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism of crustal rocks through the geological
record is a key for understanding the evolution of plate tectonics on Earth due to the linkage …

The diverse suite of trace elements incorporated into apatite in ore-forming systems has
important applications in petrogenesis studies of mineral deposits. Trace element variations …

Sedimentary rocks preserve the geological history of a basin and play a key role in
constraining the palaeogeography. The Mesozoic Kutch Basin (India) comprises a number …

Detrital geochronology employing the widely‐used zircon U‐Pb proxy is biased toward
igneous events and metamorphic anatexis; additionally, zircon is highly refractory and …

Garnet solid-state electrolytes have become one of the most promising electrolyte materials
due to their high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical window, and excellent …

Modern-style plate tectonics is characterised by the global operation of cold and deep
subduction involving blueschist facies and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism. This has been …

The assessment of detrital zircon age records is a key method in basin analysis, but it is
prone to several biases that may compromise accurate sedimentary provenance …

A multi-proxy provenance study of Late Carboniferous to Middle Jurassic sandstones from
the eastern Sverdrup Basin was undertaken employing optical petrography and heavy …

Detrital minerals provide valuable insights into the tectonic history of continents. Uranium-
lead dating of detrital zircon is widely used to characterize the magmatic history of continents …
