Orogenic arc‑related Ni‑Cu‑(PGE) mineralization of the Ransko massif, Czech Republic, and implications for the metallogeny of the European Variscan belt

This is the first publication fully devoted to the geology and metallogeny of one of SEMACRET study cases: The Ransko Ni-Cu-(PGE) mineralization in Czech Republic. This paper reports a comprehensive study including geochronology, isotope (Nd-Sr-Hf-Pb-O) and elemental geochemistry in barren and variably mineralized rocks. Compositional variations indicate that the Ransko parental melts derived from metasomatized,…

Source reservoir controls on the size, frequency, and composition of large-scale volcanic eruptions

A new paper from SEMACRET team focus on understanding magma pathways by unravelling the link between deep source reservoirs, shallow magma chambers and large-scale volcanic eruptions. Through numerical modelling, our scientists expand on previous thermal models of magmatic processes by considering key controls on magma accumulation in deep reservoirs. Results from this work suggest that…
