Daughter minerals assemblage of inclusions in magnesiochromite contain Na‒K‒Ca-, Na‒Mg-, Ca‒Mg-, Mg-, and Ca-bearing carbonates; Na–Mg carbonates with additional PO<span>(_{4}^{{3 - }})</span>, Cl<sup>–</sup>, and SO<span>(_{4}^{{2 - }})</span> anions; chlorides; sulfate; phosphate; and silicate. The mineral assemblage of daughter phases, the amount of carbonates (77 vol %) and silicates (tetraferriphlogopite) (15 vol %) and Ca : Na : K ratios within the inclusions indicate that this melt was an alkali-enriched carbonate liquid with a low content of SiO<sub>2</sub> (≤6 wt %) and H<sub>2</sub>O (≤0.6 wt %). As is known, serpentine in kimberlites is a major H<sub>2</sub>O-bearing mineral, but the problem of water sources during serpentinization of kimberlites and an actual H<sub>2</sub>O content in kimberlite melts is a controversial issue. The absence of serpentine and the low H<sub>2</sub>O content (≤0.6 wt %) of the studied melt inclusions in comparison with those of kimberlites of the V.

The main focus is on the GNSS system as the most widespread and effective tool for geodynamic research due to the compactness and relative ease of installation of ground-based tracking equipment, as well as the possibility of its autonomous operation. The importance of precise GNSS positioning for monitoring small-scale geodynamic displacements of the Earth’s surface, which requires millimeter-scale measurement accuracy, is emphasized. The issues of development of a precise reference frame for geodynamics and maintaining its long-term consistency based on the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) are considered, as well as the problems and prospects of precise satellite geodetic measurements and geodynamic research in the context of the current reduction in interaction with international geodetic data centers. To solve the problems that have arisen, ways are proposed based on arranging a subcontinental-scale system for equalization of raw GNSS measurements. The capabilities of the GNSS network used for solving problems of geodesy and geodynamics are demonstrated by the example of the analysis of the tectonic rigidity of cratons of Northern Eurasia and the impact of motion of adjacent tectonic plates and variations of these motions in the past geological eras on the contemporary geodynamic setting of these cratons.</p>","PeriodicalId":11352,"journal":{"name":"Doklady Earth Sciences","volume":"356 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141524937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These intrusive rocks belong to the high-potassic calc-alkaline to shoshonitic series, with some geochemical signatures also of anorogenic (A-type) magmatism. These intrusions are accompanied by skarn and porphyry W–Mo–Cu–Au mineralization. Together with the other Au, W, and Cu deposits and occurrences, they are parts of the extended metallogenic belt of Tien Shan. The concordant isotopic U–Pb age data for zircon autocrysts indicate the crystallization of quartz syenite (330.7 ± 4.3 Ma) and quartz monzonite (329.5 ± 5.8 Ma) in the latest Early Carboniferous. The distinct W–Mo specialization of ore mineralization related to the intrusions studied is in agreement with the post-collisional tectonic setting during their emplacement, despite their older or similar age compared to the ore-bearing plutons in more western segments of the Middle Tien Shan, which corresponded to a subduction-related setting. This supports the possibility of the “scissor-like” (from east to west) closure of the Turkestan paleoocean that resulted in the earlier cessation of subduction in the eastern Tien Shan compared to the western Tien Shan. The rocks also contain zircon xenocrysts with older (on the order of 1.7–2.6 Ga) age, which is in agreement with the age of the host metamorphic rocks of the Tarim craton basement.
