<p>The isotope U-Pb system on zircon and baddeleyite reflects the precise age of the origin (2.5, 2.45 and 2.4 Ga) and duration (more than 100 Ma) for Cu-Ni and PGE complex deposits widespread in the N-E part of the Fennoscandian Shield. The Monchegorsk, Fedorovo-Pansky and Mt. Generalskaya layered intrusions and ore regions of the orthomagmatic Cu-Ni and PGE deposits with Pt-Pd reefs originated on the continental crust (3.7 Ga). Main phases of gabbronorites were formed mainly at 2.5 Ga and secondary anorthosites at 2.45 Ga, according to U-Pb data on zircon-baddeleyite geochronometries. The Imandra lopolith with Cr deposits was active from 2.45 Ga to 2.4 Ga due to dyke deformation complexes. Isotope Sm-Nd studies and investigations of rock-forming and sulphide minerals from the deposits indicated coeval ages and 3 magmatic time activity with positive epsilon Nd. Deformation or metamorphic events were dated using the Rb-Sr system on minerals and whole rocks from the deposits at 1.9-1.8 Ga.</p><p>The Pados Cr (2.08 Ga), Pechenga Cu-Ni (1.98 Ga) and Kolvitsa Ti-Mg (1.89 Ga) orthomagmatic deposits were dated, using the Pb-Nd-Sr isotope systematics. The mentioned deposits originated probably on the oceanic crust (2.7 Ga). According to new in situ LA-ICP-MS data on Os, PGE and REE concentration in zircon, baddeleyite and sulphide minerals from the complex deposits are characterized by subchondritic sources (Malitch et al., 2019). Paleoproterozoic layered intrusions (2.5-1.8 Ga) and deposits were formed from the plume enrichment mantle reservoir (EM-1), according to Nd-Sr data on whole rocks. Baddeleyite as a mantle mostly mineral (Zircon, 2003) reflects the continental break-up and is connected with the oldest supercontinental reconstruction (Ernst, 2016).</p><p>All studies have been supported by RFRB 18-05-70082, Scientific Research Contracts Nos 0226-2019-0032 and 0226-2019-0053.</p>

<p>The laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a unique method for local analysis that allows studying mineral grains in situ. The aims of these geochemical researches are to estimate concentrations and distributions of REE, Hf, U, Th, Y, Ti, PGE and other elements in accessory and ore minerals from complex deposits in the Arctic region (Fennoscandian Shield), using the LA-ICP-MS local analysis of trace elements. Accessory minerals of zircon and baddeleyite are much valued to study distributions of rare and rare earth elements (REE). Besides, pyrite, pentlandite, pyrrhotite and other sulfides are important for determining platinum-group elements (PGE), REE, etc.</p><p>The electron (LEO-1415) and optic (LEICA OM 2500 P, camera DFC 290) spectroscopy have been applied to study the morphology of the samples. Analytical points have been selected on baddeleyite, zircon crystals and sulfide minerals based on analyses of their BSE, CL and optical images. REE, PGE and other elements have been estimated in situ by ICP-MS, using an ELAN 9000 DRC-e (Perkin Elmer) quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with UP-266 MAСRO laser (New Wave Research).</p><p>More than 19 elements were profiled during each measurement in zircon or baddeleyite. For the first time, LA-ICP-MS techniques have been applied to estimate PGE, REE and other (S, Cr, Fe, Cu, Ni, Co, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Re, Te, Tl, Hf, W, Bi, Pb, Th, U) elements in sulfide minerals. NIST 610, NIST 612 and tandem graduation (using solutions), considering sensitivity coefficients of isotopes have been used to check the accuracy of estimations. Fe, Ni and Cu have been used as internal standards, being most evenly distributed elements in minerals, when concentrations of elements in sulphides were calculated. The estimates have been carried out, using inter-laboratory standards of chalcopyrite, pentlandite and pyrrhotite, which had been preliminarily prepared and studied using micro probe analysis (Cameca MS-46).</p><p>These techniques had been used to estimate elements in zircon extracted from basic and acidic rocks of the Lapland belt (1.9 Ga), the Keivy zone (2.7 Ga), the Kandalaksha and Kolvitsa zone (2.45 Ga) and from the Cu-Ni deposit (Terrace, Mt. Nyud, 2.5 Ga). Novel techniques have been used to analyze baddeleyite from rocks of layered PGE intrusions of the Monchegorsk ore area (2.5 Ga) and carbonatites of Kovdor and Vuoriyarvi (380 Ma). Elaborated LA-ICP-MS techniques have been applied to provide in situ measurements of PGE, Au, Ag, siderophile and chalcophile elements in sulphide minerals from the Pechenga and Allarechka Cu-Ni deposits (1.98 Ga), Fedorova Tundra and Severny Kamennik PGE deposits (2.5 Ga).</p><p>The scientific researches are supported by RFBR Grant No 18-05-70082, scientific themes 0226-2019-0032 and 0226-2019-0053.</p>

Baddeleyite is a significant mineral successfully applied in the U-Pb geochronology for the precise dating of mafic rocks from layered intrusions with the platinum group element (PGE) and Cu-Ni mineralization. The Fennoscandian Shield hosts several layered Pt-Pd, Co-Cr-Ni, and Ti-V occurrences in the Northern (Karelian) and Southern (Karelian-Finnish) belts. The aim of this study is to estimate the content and distribution of rare earth elements (REE) in baddeleyite and to calculate temperatures (Т, ̊С) of the U-Pb system closure and baddeleyite crystallization compared to zircon from Cu-Ni and Pt-Pd deposits in the north-eastern Fennoscandian Shield. For the first time, baddeleyite crystals from Cu-Ni (Monchepluton) and Pt-Pd (Monchetundra) reefs of the Monchegorsk ore area have been studied in situ by the laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to measure the U-Pb age of formation and the REE content.

L'Arctique est la région du globe qui s'est réchauffée le plus vite au cours des trente dernières années, avec une augmentation de la température de surface environ deux fois plus rapide que pour la moyenne globale. Le déclin de la banquise arctique observé depuis le début de l'ère satellitaire et attribué principalement à l'augmentation de la concentration des gaz à effet de serre aurait joué un rôle important dans cette amplification des températures au pôle. Cette fonte importante des glaces arctiques, qui devrait s'accélérer dans les décennies à venir, pourrait modifier les vents en haute altitude et potentiellement avoir un impact sur le climat des moyennes latitudes. L'étendue de la banquise arctique varie considérablement d'une saison à l'autre, d'une année à l'autre, d'une décennie à l'autre. Améliorer notre capacité à prévoir ces variations nécessite de comprendre, observer et modéliser les interactions entre la banquise et les autres composantes du système Terre, telles que l'océan, l'atmosphère ou la biosphère, à différentes échelles de temps. La réalisation de prévisions saisonnières de la banquise arctique est très récente comparée aux prévisions du temps ou aux prévisions saisonnières de paramètres météorologiques (température, précipitation). Les résultats ayant émergé au cours des dix dernières années mettent en évidence l'importance des observations de l'épaisseur de la glace de mer pour prévoir l'évolution de la banquise estivale plusieurs mois à l'avance. Surface temperatures over the Arctic region have been increasing twice as fast as global mean temperatures, a phenomenon known as arctic amplification. One main contributor to this polar warming is the large decline of Arctic sea ice observed since the beginning of satellite observations, which has been attributed to the increase of greenhouse gases. The acceleration of Arctic sea ice loss that is projected for the coming decades could modify the upper level atmospheric circulation yielding climate impacts up to the mid-latitudes. There is considerable variability in the spatial extent of ice cover on seasonal, interannual and decadal time scales. Better understanding, observing and modelling the interactions between sea ice and the other components of the climate system is key for improved predictions of Arctic sea ice in the future. Running operational-like seasonal predictions of Arctic sea ice is a quite recent effort compared to weather predictions or seasonal predictions of atmospheric fields like temperature or precipitation. Recent results stress the importance of sea ice thickness observations to improve seasonal predictions of Arctic sea ice conditions during summer.
