Ever wonder what billion year old world map looks like? Or where the #Himalayas of the past are hiding? Me too! I look for geochemical evidence of ancient #mountainbelts and what it can tell us about the evolution of Earth, like #Supercontinent formation! #SciCommSeptember
Because I have been a bit crazy busy the last few weeks, there are now 5 new papers out for the Brazil Archean/Paleoprot special volume in GF!! See them here:

Geochronology folk, please consider submitting an abstract to the European Mineralogical Conference. Virtual meeting this year. Held 29th August-2 September.
Have you ever wondered why there are no #Archean UHP eclogites older than c. 0.8 Ga if #plate#tectonics has operated since c. 3 Ga, and isolated #subduction complexes formed even earlier in Earth history? Our new OA paper provides an explanation. (1/X)

@KeepItRheol @GeosciFrontiers is free open access with color figure and they even mail you a dozen typeset prints. By far the best OA APC in the business.
(1/2) The age of nanorock – Are you tired of looking at the same old inclusions in volcanic rocks? Do you want to be taken on a total escape from the regular subduction zone? Well, we have what you need!

U-Pb zircon geochronologists of Twitter - a poll for you! How much discordance is too much? What method do you use to calculate it and why? What reasons besides discordance do you discard dates? Trying to get a sense of “common” practices... #zircon#geochronology
Attention numerical modellers and geodynamicists. I'm after papers that model subduction zones and back-arcs with varying mantle temperature (beyond those of Claire Currie and Elena Sizova). 👋
Our paper on #tungsten prospectivity combining #FuzzyLogic and #MachineLearning is now available in its final form with a beautifully revised PDF available #OpenAccess.
Take home message: classic methods can be combined with the new jazzy ones!
