Paleoproterozoic post-orogenic magmatism in southern Finland; geochemical, geochronological and Sr-Nd isotopic constraints on origin and magmatic evolution by Oliver Teräs, Kaisa Nikkilä, Perttu Mikkola, Anna Kotilainen, Olav Eklund, O. Tapani Rämö

“…Most of the intrusions are found in a 500 km long E–W-trending belt in the Southern Finland Subprovince, with three of them in the Western Finland Subprovince. These rocks have distinctive field, mineralogical, chemical, geochronological and isotopic characteristics compared to the other plutonic rocks in the area. …”

Assessment of the Influence of Formation Conditions of Embankments and Spoil Heaps on Their Stability When Dumped on Clay-Salt Slurries by Maxim Karasev, Tatsiana Astapenka

“…In this study, a numerical simulation of the stability analysis of an embankment constructed on low-strength soils consisting of clay-salt slurries is carried out, and the study of the dependence of the stability and behavior of the embankment on the configuration of this foundation, without taking into account the embedment of rocks and with introduction of rocks into the geotechnical system, is considered. …”

India (Tethyan Himalaya Series) in Central Myanmar: Implications for the Evolution of the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis and the Sagaing Transform‐Fault System by Myo Min, Lothar Ratschbacher, Leander Franz, Bradley R. Hacker, Eva Enkelmann, Eko Yoan Toreno, Birk Härtel, Bernd Schurr, Marion Tichomirowa, Jörg A. Pfänder

“…When the Burma microplate—part of the intra‐Tethyan Incertus arc—accreted to SE‐Asia, its eastern boundary, the southern continuation of the Indus‐Yarlung suture (IYS), was reactivated as the Sagaing fault (SF), which propagated northward into Indian rocks. In the Katha rocks, this strike‐slip stage is marked by ∼4°C/Myr exhumation/cooling. …”

Reevaluating Links Between Meteorite Impacts and Early Cenozoic Global Warming by A. Zorzi, S. M. Tikoo, G. C. Beroza, N. H. Sleep

“…We use shock physics hydrocode simulations and radiative forcing calculations to quantify the expected global temperature increase associated with impacts of different scales via the release of CO2 and CH4 sourced from target rocks into the atmosphere. Our results suggest that the <2 km diameter impactors associated with the Marquez Dome and Boltysh craters were too small to have induced hyperthermal‐like (>1 K) temperature changes, even if target rocks were carbon‐rich; >10 km diameter impactors may produce hyperthermal events, but such large impacts are predicted to be uncommon during the Cenozoic era (2–4 objects per Gyr).…”
