Hadean geodynamics and the nature of early continental crust
J Korenaga - Precambrian Research, 2021 - Elsevier
Reconstructing Earth history during the Hadean defies the traditional rock-based approach
in geology. Given the extremely limited locality of Hadean zircons, some indirect approach …

Growth, destruction, and preservation of Earth's continental crust
From the scant Hadean records of the Jack Hills to Cenozoic supervolcanoes, the
continental crust provides a synoptic view deep into Earth history. However, the information …

A change in the geodynamics of continental growth 3 billion years ago
Models for the growth of continental crust rely on knowing the balance between the
generation of new crust and the reworking of old crust throughout Earth's history. The …

Continental arc volcanism as the principal driver of icehouse-greenhouse variability
Variations in continental volcanic arc emissions have the potential to control atmospheric
carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and climate change on multimillion-year time scales. Here we …

The growth of the continental crust: constraints from zircon Hf-isotope data
A worldwide database of over 13,800 integrated U–Pb and Hf-isotope analyses of zircon,
derived largely from detrital sources, has been used to examine processes of crustal …

The zircon archive of continent formation through time
NMW Roberts, CJ Spencer - 2015 - lyellcollection.org
The strong resilience of the mineral zircon and its ability to host a wealth of isotopic
information make it the best deep-time archive of Earth's continental crust. Zircon is found in …

The effect of titanite crystallisation on Eu and Ce anomalies in zircon and its implications for the assessment of porphyry Cu deposit fertility
The redox sensitivity of Ce and Eu anomalies in zircon has been clearly demonstrated by
experimental studies, and these may represent an important tool in the exploration for …
