Plant–insect interactions from the Late Pennsylvanian of the Iberian Peninsula (León, northern Spain)
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
We describe new evidences of plant-insect interactions from the Late Pennsylvanian of northern Iberian Peninsula (Leon, Spain). We document nine different Damage Types (DTs) among 216 fossil plant specimens. The interactions ...
LAND-SUITE V1.0: a suite of tools for statistically based landslide susceptibility zonation
(Copernicus Publications, 2022-07)
In the past 50 years, a large variety of statisti-
cally based models and methods for landslide susceptibility
mapping and zonation have been proposed in the literature.
The methods, which are applicable to a large range ...
Posets pluton: a geochronological piece in the puzzle of the Axial Zone of the Pyrenees
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-12)
[EN]A detailed geochronological study was conducted on zircons from a diorite sample of the Posets pluton (Axial Zone, Pyrenees). The extracted igneous zircons constrain the emplacement of the pluton to 302 +/- 2 Ma and ...
The Role of Magmatism in Hydrocarbon Generation in Sedimented Rifts: a Nd Isotope Perspective from Mid-Cretaceous Methane-Seep Deposits of the Basque-Cantabrian Basin, Spain
(Elsevier, 2021-06-15)
Studies on the involvement of intrusive magmatism in hydrocarbon generation within sedimentary basins have gained momentum owing to increasing appraisal of the role that such processes may play in controlling global carbon ...
The Formation of Alluvial Platinum-Group Minerals: Present Knowledge and the Way Ahead
(Mineralogical Society, 2021-02)
The weathering of platinum-group element (PGE) deposits presents unusual problems, especially in the very active environment of lateritic weathering under tropical conditions. There is clear evidence of the destruction of ...
The Conquest of the Dark Spaces: an Experimental Approach to Lighting Systems in Paleolithic Caves
(Public Library Of Science, 2021-06-16)
Artificial lighting was a crucial physical resource for expanding complex social and economic behavior in Paleolithic groups. Furthermore, the control of fire allowed the development of the first symbolic behavior in deep ...
Peri-Gondwanan Provenance and Geodynamic Evolution of The Guadaiza Nappe (Alpujarride Complex, Betic Cordilleras, Spain): Insights on The Paleotethyan Paleogeography
(MDPI, 2022-03-05)
Based on the LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon ages of four metamorphic samples, we discuss the geochronology and provenance of the Guadaiza nappe, an allochthonous unit that underlies the Ronda peridotites (Betic Cordilleras, Spain). ...
Time Lag between Metamorphism and Crystallization of Anatectic Granites (Cordoba, Argentina)
(Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Instituto de Ciencias de la Tierra Jaume Almera-CSIC, 2020)
SHRIMP and LA-ICP-MS analyses carried out on zircons from the Rio de los Sauces granite revealed their metamorphic and igneous nature. The metamorphic zircons yielded an age of 537 +/- 4.8 (2s)Ma that probably predates the ...
Ancient saltern metagenomics: tracking changes in microbes and their viruses from the underground to the surface
(Wiley, 2021-07)
Microbial communities in hypersaline underground waters derive from ancient organisms trapped within the evaporitic salt crystals and are part of the poorly known subterranean biosphere. Here, we characterized the viral ...
IBERLID: A lead isotope database and tool for metal provenance and ore deposits research
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
[EN] Although sometimes controversial, the use of Pb isotope data in geological research of ore deposits and metal provenance studies in archaeology has proved a useful tool for investigation of the relations between ore ...
