Compositionally, the samples are granitoids belonging to the sanukitoid suite and K-rich granitoids. Certain samples interpreted as partial melts of pre-existing crust in this study display more mafic compositions than previously described from the surrounding areas. This indicates, at least locally, a source poorer in SiO2 than the TTG (Tonalite-Trondhjemite-Granodiorite) suite granitoids, which are the likely sources for the majority of the anatectic granitoids within the Lentua complex. Based on new geochronological data (LA-MC-ICPMS U-Pb on zircon), the sanukitoids and anatectic granitoids are at least partly coeval (2.69 Ga) in the area, but interaction between the two felsic magmas was limited. The dated sanukitoid sample is distinctly younger (2687±8 Ma) than the average age of the sanukitoids of the Western Karelia subprovince (2718±3 Ma) indicating, together with one previously published sanukitoid age, the existence of a younger sanukitoid phase. This study gives new important constraints to understanding the formation of the Western Karelia subprovince by expanding the observed compositional heterogeneity and the temporal overlap of the different Neoarchean granitoid suites.","PeriodicalId":55302,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67631034","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}

The concordia ages of five Vaasa area granitoid samples are 1.88–1.86 Ga, constraining the age of peak migmatization. The ages of inherited zircon cores in the samples show two clear age populations at 2.02–1.92 Ga and c. 2.7 Ga, which correspond to ages yielded by a mica schist sample from the adjacent Evijarvi belt, as well as with published values for the Evijarvi belt zircon. The initial e Nd values of the Vaasa complex samples are relatively unradiogenic (from -3.0 to -2.0). Such values are comparable to a value (-3.6) calculated for the Evijarvi mica schist, as well as to literature values (from 3.0 to -0.5) for the Evijarvi belt. The average initial zircon e Hf values of four of the granitoids range from -10 to -5 and are in agreement with the Nd-isotopic results, whereas the northmost sample has a significantly higher value (+1). The deviation is suggested to result from disequilibrium melting of zircon. The isotopic and geochronological data indicate that the Vaasa complex granitoids formed by partial melting of the Evijarvi belt metasedimentary rocks.","PeriodicalId":55302,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67631091","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}

The formation of the highest shoreline of the BIL in Estonia was connected with the development of the Pandivere ice marginal zone (Estonia) and the lowest with the Salpausselka ice-marginal formations (Finland). There was a well-accepted knowledge that the Pandivere ice marginal zone correlates with the Neva ice marginal zone in NW Russia dated to 13 300 cal yr BP. Recent studies of the late glacial sites in northern Estonia indicate that the age of the Pandivere ice marginal zone and hence the highest shoreline of the BIL A 1 is about 13 800–14 000 cal yr BP. It was followed by the BIL stage A 2 , which formed in front of the Palivere ice marginal belt about 13 200–13 500 cal yr BP. The final drainage of the BIL took place about 11 650 cal yr BP.

They share many similarities but differing features are also found. The Kardla impact structure is located at the NE coast of Hiiumaa Island (58°58’N, 22°46’E). The inner crater has a 4 km rim-to-rim diameter and a c. 130 m high central uplift, surrounded by a ring fault, c. 12 km in diameter. The well-preserved buried inner crater is outlined in the landscape by a circular ridge of uplifted bedrock. The perimeter of the outer crater is outlined on the seafloor by a semicircular ridge of narrow shoals. The variable height of the rim wall (50–240 m above the crystalline basement level) and the asymmetric location of the inner crater is obviously a result of an oblique impact in a layered target and partial collapse of the rim wall. Shortly after the impact in a shallow epicontinental sea during Late Ordovician time (c. 455 My), calcareous biodetritic muds were deposited and the crater was buried. The Neugrund impact structure is located in the seabed at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland (59°20’N, 23°31’E). The inner crater has a 7 km rim-to-rim diameter and the outer limit of the structure passes through the Osmussaar Island to the southwest of the impact centre. The crater was buried in a shallow epicontinental sea with siliciclastic deposition shortly after the impact at Early Cambrian time, c. 535 My. It was partially re-exposed by erosion during Pliocene. The target had a three-layered composition: Precambrian metamorphic rocks covered by Ediacaran and Early Cambrian siliciclastic rocks (c. 150 m) and water (c. 100 m). The structure has been studied with seismoacoustic and sidescan sonar profiling, and by diving and sampling of submarine outcrops. Several hundred samples of impact breccias have been collected and investigated from erratic boulders distributed by glacial action in the west Estonian mainland, islands and sea floor.","PeriodicalId":55302,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2013-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67630912","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}

The lakes are located within the Gulf of Finland drainage system at different altitudes between 18 and 4 m above the present sea level. The isolation from the sea and the onset of freshwater lacustrine sedimentation occurred in Tänavjärv basin at 5400 cal yr BP, in Klooga basin at 4200 cal yr BP, in Lohja basin at 2200 cal yr BP and in Käsmu basin at 1800 cal yr BP. Through the application of GIS-based analysis, a modern digital terrain model and reconstructed past water level surfaces, we present a series of scenarios of shoreline and palaeogeography changes occurring since 7800 cal yr BP.

Their CO2 storage capacities were estimated recently with different levels of reliability. Petrophysical, geophysical, mineralogical and geochemical parameters of reservoir rocks represented by quartz sandstones of the Deimena Formation of Middle Cambrian in two wells and properties of Silurian and Ordovician cap rocks were additionally studied and interpreted in the present contribution. Extended methodology on rock measurements and estimation of conservative and optimistic storage capacity are presented. Uncertainties and risks of CO2 storage in the offshore structure E6 estimated as the most prospective for CO2 geological storage in the Baltic Region, and the largest among all onshore and offshore structures studied in Latvia, were discussed. We re-estimated the previous optimistic capacity of the E6 structure (265–630 Mt) to 251–602 Mt. Considering fault system within the E6 structure we estimated capacity of two compartments of the reservoir separately (E6-A and E6-B). Estimated by the optimistic approach CO2 storage capacity of the E6-A part was 243–582 Mt (mean 365 Mt) and E6-B part 8–20 Mt (mean 12 Mt). Conservative capacity was 97–233 Mt (mean 146 Mt) in the E6-A, and 4–10 Mt (mean 6 Mt) in the E6-B.
