Abstract:
The geochemical significance of on-axis diffuse fluids, in addition to those formed during the waning phases of hydrothermal systems and off-axis crustal ageing processes, has been investigated through a comparison of the rare earth element (REE) systematics of hydrothermal materials from the ore-forming hydrothermal systems of the TAG vent field, 26 N Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and 90 Myr Troodos Ophiolite, Cyprus. Ophiolites integrate a long (c. 20 Myr) history of seafloor alteration, which reflects both , axial and off-axis hydrothermal processes. Spatially-resolved laser ablation inductively coup

The first aim was to study the use of a number of precipitation methods to control the size and morphology of precursor phosphor materials for potential applications in a new generation of high definition and field emission displays. The morphological and luminescent characteristics of these precursor phosphor materials were studied after they were annealed to form their respective luminescent oxides using electron microscopy and light measuring techniques.

The Bear Lodge alkaline complex in northeastern Wyoming (USA) is host to potentially economic rare-earth mineralization in carbonatite and carbonatite-related veins and dikes that intrude heterolithic diatreme breccias in the Bull Hill area of the Bear Lodge Mountains.

In addition, the molar volume of oxide is typically greater than that of the base metal. Consequently, mechanical stresses are generated in the oxide scale.

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2012.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 48).<br>This paper presents the development of a new US Rare Earth Element (REE) Supply-Demand Model for the explicit forecast of US REE supply and demand in the 2010 to 2025 time period. In the 2010 Department of Energy (DOE) Critical Material Strategy (CMS) report, the DOE created a DOE REE Supply- Demand Model that forecasted world REE supply and demand. Information from the DOE Model was used in the report to gauge

Abstract:
Le craton archéen de l’In Ouzzal représente une succession d'événements intrusifs et métamorphiques depuis l’Eburnéen qui en font un marqueur important des processus géodynamiques à travers les temps géologiques. La région d’Ihouhaouene située au N-W du terrane de l’In Ouzzal en Algérie est unique de par la présence d’intrusions protérozoïques de carbonatites associées à des roches alcalines saturées. Ces carbonatites intracontinentales comptent parmi les plus anciennes et inhabituelles de par leurs diversités et la présence de minéraux à terres rares. Les carbonatites sont pegmatitiques ou br

Abstract:
The Alnö Complex is a Late Precambrian alkaline and carbonatite intrusion (c. 30km2) into Early Proterozoic country rock that extends from the north east, to the north western shoulder of Alnö Island. Carbonatites are rare among volcanic provinces, with Oldoinyo Lengai of northern Tanzania being the only active carbonatite volcano in the world today. The high carbonate mineral volumes and rare earth element (REE) concentrations of carbonatites, in combination with the intrusive-extrusive nature of their suites contribute to the rarity of these rocks. Carbonatites, through their peculiar petrol

"Investigating sediment size distributions and size-specific Sm-Nd isotopes as paleoceanographic proxy in the North Atlantic Ocean : reconstructing past deep-sea current speeds since Last Glacial Maximum."

Abstract:
To explore whether the dispersion of sediments in the North Atlantic can be related to modern and past Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) flow speed, particle size distributions (weight%, Sortable Silt mean grain size) and grain-size separated (0–4, 4–10, 10–20, 20–30, 30–40 and 40–63 μm) Sm-Nd isotopes and trace element concentrations are measured on 12 cores along the flow-path of Western Boundary Undercurrent and in the central North Atlantic since the Last glacial Maximum (LGM). North Atlantic is a useful place to explore how size-specific sediment provenance is related to
