85 The physiography of the area is dominated by glaciated landforms carved in gneiss of the Fiordland Complex. The gneiss is generally dioritic, with gradations to quartzo-feldspathic and amphibolitic varieties, and is cut by mainly barren pegmatite veins; epidote is abundant. The rocks commonly show signs of post-consolidational shearing and crushing. There is a well defined zone of strongly c...

The northeast region of Birjand is located in Lut structural and geological province. In this area we can distinguish two separate volcanic rock groups: intermediate to acidic volcanic rocks, including dacite, andesite, rhyolite and trachyandesite; and basic rocks, including basaltic andesite, mugearite and basalt. In this region, intermediate to acidic rocks, which belong to the Eocene-Miocene...

The Blue Nile Basin, situated in the Northwestern Ethiopian Plateau, contains 1400 m thick Mesozoic sedimentary section underlain by Neoproterozoic basement rocks and overlain by Early–Late Oligocene and Quaternary volcanic rocks. This study outlines the stratigraphic and structural evolution of the Blue Nile Basin based on field and remote sensing studies along the Gorge of the Nile. The Blue ...

The Lut block in eastern Iran is a micro-continental block within the convergent orogen between the Arabian, Eurasian and Indian plates. Large areas of the north-central, eastern, and western Lut block are covered by volcanic rocks of Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary age.  Peak volcanic activity took place in the north-central part of the Lut block during the Eocene, and then dramatically decr...

introduction in the east and northeast of sanandaj in the qorveh-bijar-takab axis, there are series of basaltic composition volcanoes with quaternary age. the study area is part of the sanandaj-sirjan zone and is located between 47°52' and 47°57' e longitudes and 35°26 and '35°30' n latitudes. due to the location of the volcanic cone on pliocene clastic sediments and quaternary travertine, the ...

15 16 The degassing of magmatic volatiles during eruptions beneath ice sheets and glaciers, 17 as recorded by the dissolved volatile content quenched in volcanic rocks, could 18 provide powerful new constraints on former ice thicknesses in volcanic areas. As 19 volcanic rocks are readily dateable using radiometric methods, subglacial volcanoes 20 may therefore provide crucial information on the...

The Front Cover illustrates the change in circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of a chiral diamine-linked bispyrene caused by two types mechanical stimuli, namely ultrasonication and grinding, analogous to volcanic eruption collision rocks depicted image.
