Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative study of the temporal evolution of atmospheric lead deposition in Scotland and eastern Canada using blanket peat bogs.

TL;DR: The Scottish record is in line with previous studies of past atmospheric lead deposition, however, the Canadian deposit suggests that the wind derived, pre-industrial lead, is less radiogenic as previously implied using sediment archives.
Journal ArticleDOI

A chemical Earth model with whole mantle convection: The importance of a core-mantle boundary layer (D'') and its early formation

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative geochemical model was developed for the formation and evolution of the principal terrestrial reservoirs (the mantle, core, D, continental crust) via mass fluxes that include rare gas and respective parent isotopes, also Sm, Nd, Lu, Hf, Rb, Sr, W isotopes and siderophile elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Importance of water for Archaean granitoid petrology: a comparative study of TTG and potassic granitoids from Barberton Mountain Land, South Africa

TL;DR: In this paper, a new model for Archaean granitoid magmatism is presented which reconciles the most important geochemical similarities and differences between tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) and potassic granitoids.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Australopithecus robustus fossils and associated U-Pb dates from Cooper's Cave (Gauteng, South Africa).

TL;DR: A detailed geological background to a series of hominin fossils retrieved from the newly investigated deposit of Cooper's D is provided, including uranium-lead ages for speleothem material associated with A. robustus and the paleoenvironment is reconstructed as predominantly grassland, with nearby woodlands and a permanent water source.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discrete metamorphic events in the Limpopo belt, southern Africa: Implications for the application of P-T paths in complex metamorphic terrains

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that syn-to-postdeformational granitic metamorphism occurred at distinct times in different parts of the Limpopo belt over a span of at least 70 m.y.
