Religiosity and magic in some lithoiatric practices of European folk medicine 23 Aug 2013 | 07:23 pm
The use of rocks and stones for the treatment of ill people is present in the folk medicine of many European regions. Lithoiatric practices have a long history which started with the peoples living in...
Education forms the tender mind 23 Aug 2013 | 07:23 pm
In the early days of the development of a more formal approach to academic geology many natural philosophers, now better known as scientists, were men (rarely women) with inquisitive minds who encapsu...
Geology as medicine and medics as geologists 23 Aug 2013 | 07:23 pm
Modern links between geology and medicine are clearly demonstrated in the rise (or some would say, re-emergence) of medical geology – the study of the influence of geological factors (such as the exce...
U-Pb zircon ages and (isotope) geochemical signatures of the Kamanjab Inlier (NW Namibia): constraints on Palaeoproterozoic crustal evolution along th... 22 Aug 2013 | 08:43 pm
The formation of the Kamanjab Inlier (KI) in NW Namibia is poorly known and constrained to Palaeoproterozoic times. With the Epupa complex (EC) and Grootfontein Inlier (GI), the KI marks the southwest...
Zircon U-Pb and Hf - isotopes from the eastern part of the Sveconorwegian Orogen, SW Sweden: implications for the growth of Fennoscandia 22 Aug 2013 | 06:02 pm
Current models for the growth of Fennoscandia, including the eastern part of the Sveconorwegian Province, are largely based on U–Pb data and do not discriminate between juvenile and reworked crust. He...
Interaction between thin- and thick-skinned tectonics in the foothill areas of an inverted graben. The Middle Magdalena Foothill belt 22 Aug 2013 | 06:02 pm
The Magdalena Valley fold-and-thrust belt is a tectonic province associated with inverted rift zones. This belt displays a narrow and discontinuous deformation front indicating association with invers...
Along-arc geochemical variations in Quaternary magmas of northern Kyushu Island, Japan 15 Aug 2013 | 09:41 pm
We analysed major and trace elements and Sr–Nd–Pb isotope ratios of Himeshima, Futagoyama and Aso volcanoes, northern Kyushu, Japan. The purpose of the study was to investigate the petrogenesis of Qua...
Thick-skin-dominated orogens; from initial inversion to full accretion: an introduction 8 Aug 2013 | 03:54 pm
Fifty per cent of orogens have a thick-skin character, and have evolved from passive margin and intra-cratonic rift systems. One group of thick-skin provinces can be found at both pro- and retro-wedge...
Potential and limits of combining studies of coarse- and fine-grained sediments for the coastal event history of a Caribbean carbonate environment 8 Aug 2013 | 01:48 pm
The coastal deposits of Bonaire, Leeward Antilles, are among the most studied archives for extreme-wave events (EWEs) in the Caribbean. Here we present more than 400 electron spin resonance (ESR) and ...
Magma sources and tectonic setting of Central Andean andesites (25.5-28{degrees}S) related to crustal thickening, forearc subduction erosion and delam... 7 Aug 2013 | 06:51 pm
The Central Andean margin, where the name andesite originated, is the type locality for arc andesites erupted through thick continental crust. The <25 Ma mid to high K2O andesites erupted from 25.5°S ...
