  Alexander, AC; Shail, RK; Leveridge, BE (Geological Society, 4 January 2019)

  The Rheic Ocean is a persistent feature of Paleozoic palaeogeographies whose closure contributed to the development of the Variscan Orogen and the formation of Pangaea. Geological and geophysical data indicate repeated ...

• Rare-metal granites as a potential source of critical metals: A geometallurgical case study 

  Dehaine, Q; Filippov, LO; Glass, HJ; et al. (Elsevier, 17 November 2018)

  Because of their low grades in critical metals such as Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE) or Sn, rare-metal granites are not considered as economic for metal recovery but, when altered, they are often exploited for their ...

• Closure of the Bering Strait caused Mid-Pleistocene Transition cooling 

  Kender, S; Ravelo, AC; Worne, S; et al. (Springer Nature, 19 December 2018)

  The Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT) is characterised by cooling and lengthening glacial cycles from 600–1200 ka, thought to be driven by reductions in glacial CO2 in particular from ~900 ka onwards. Reduced high latitude ...
