Sclerochronological evidence of pronounced seasonality from the late Pliocene of the southern North Sea basin and its implications by A. L. A. Johnson, A. M. Valentine, B. R. Schöne, M. J. Leng, S. Goolaerts

“…A higher annual temperature than now is consistent with the notion of global warmth in the MPWP, but a low winter temperature in the southern North Sea basin suggests regional reduction in oceanic heat supply, contrasting with other interpretations of North Atlantic oceanography during the interval. Carbonate clumped isotope (<span class="inline-formula">Δ₄₇</span>) and biomineral unit thermometry offer means of checking the <span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹⁸</span>O-based temperatures.…”

Influence of basement rocks on fluid evolution during multiphase deformation: the example of the Estamariu thrust in the Pyrenean Axial Zone by D. Muñoz-López, G. Alías, D. Cruset, I. Cantarero, C. M. John, A. Travé

“…Structural and petrological observations constrain the relative timing of fluid migration and vein formation, whilst geochemical analyses (<span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹³C</span>, <span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹⁸O</span>, <span class="inline-formula">⁸⁷Sr∕⁸⁶Sr</span>, clumped isotope thermometry, and elemental composition) applied to the related calcite cements and host rocks indicate the fluid origin, pathways, and extent of fluid–rock interaction. …”

Fault-controlled fluid circulation and diagenesis along basin-bounding fault systems in rifts – insights from the East Greenland rift system by E. Salomon, E. Salomon, A. Rotevatn, T. B. Kristensen, T. B. Kristensen, S.-A. Grundvåg, G. A. Henstra, G. A. Henstra, A. N. Meckler, R. Albert, R. Albert, A. Gerdes, A. Gerdes

“…In this study, based on U–Pb calcite dating, we show that cementation and formation of this cementation zone started during the rift climax in Berrisian–Valanginian times. Using clumped isotope analysis, we determined cement formation temperatures of <span class="inline-formula">∼</span>&thinsp;30–70&thinsp;<span class="inline-formula">^∘</span>C. …”

Miocene high elevation in the Central Alps by E. Krsnik, E. Krsnik, K. Methner, K. Methner, M. Campani, S. Botsyun, S. G. Mutz, T. A. Ehlers, O. Kempf, J. Fiebig, F. Schlunegger, A. Mulch, A. Mulch

“…Here we present stable and clumped isotope measurements to provide a new paleoelevation estimate for the mid-Miocene (<span class="inline-formula">∼14.5</span> Ma) European Central Alps. …”
