- To assess the age and origin of the metasedimentary migmatites in southernmost Sweden and their relationships with the Mesoproterozoic granitoid magmatism in the area, we have dated migmatite zircon using the secondary ion mass spectrometry U-Pb method. The studied metasedimentary migmatites, here called the Noteboda migmatites, occur along the southwestern boundary of the 1442 Ma Taghusa granitoid intrusion in southeastern Skane. They contain the mineral assemblage garnet + biotite +/- muscovite + cordierite + sillimanite + quartz + plagioclase + K-feldspar and were formed during a retrograde evolution from c. 750-720 degrees C and 6 kbar (peak conditions) to c. 675 degrees C and 4 kbar. Zircon is characterized by detrital cores surrounded by U-rich rims and overgrowths. Separate rounded metamorphic grains also exist. The age probability-density distribution peaks for detrital zircon are at c. 1700, 1670, 1650, 1610, 1570 and 1530 Ma. These ages suggest Gothian orogenic rocks in the present west as the most probable principal source. Sedimentation occurred after c. 1530 Ma, the age of the youngest detrital zircon, indicating the existence of a previously unknown period of Mesoproterozoic sedimentation in southernmost Sweden. A homogeneous zircon overgrowth yielded a concordant Pb-207/Pb-206 age of 1439 +/- 5 Ma, which dates the migmatization and is close to the age of the Taghusa intrusion. We conclude that the burial of the sediments down to c. 20 km, their metamorphism and progressive migmatization took place concurrently with granitic magmatism, NE-SW compression, folding and shearing of the crust between 1460 and 1440Ma during the Danopolonian orogeny.

- The Volgo-Uralia segment, which constitutes one fourth of the East European Craton, is covered by sedimentary deposits. From geophysical studies and examination of thousands of drillcores, Volgo-Uralia has been recognised as a vast high-grade terrain with a complex crustal history extending from the Palaeoarchaean to the Palaeoproterozoic. Our recent studies are focused on the search for the oldest crust formation event by extracting whole rock Sm-Nd and zircon U-Th-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope information from samples recovered by drilling in southern Volgo-Uralia. Particular attention is devoted to the Kolyvan charnockitoid rock suite, which makes up several large areas of gneisses and granitoids of enderbite, charnockite and tonalite composition. The zircon from the granitoids show complex internal structures and consists of large magmatic cores with oscillatory zoning, surrounded by CL black-and-bright bands of metamorphic rims. The crystallisation age of the cores is defined as 3140 ± 7 Ma (SHRIMP) and 3127 ± 46 Ma (LA-ICPMS), while the CL-bright rims are dated at 1950 ± 25 Ma (LA-ICPMS). The ingressive recrystallisation of primary magmatic zircon correlates with depletion in REE, which is observed in each studied core-rim pair. No differences in O-isotopic compositions have been detected between the cores and the rims. δO18 values with an average of 5.8 ± 0.3‰ (1SD) implying that no supracrustal rocks were involved in the source of the Kolyvan melts. The Hf-isotope compositions of magmatic cores (−3 to −9 εHfT) and metamorphic rims (−14 to −28 εHfT), and their similar crustal model ages from 3.42 to 3.86 Ga indicate Eo- to Palaeoarchaean crustal sources for the charnockitic magmas. Sm-Nd model ages of ca 3.46 Ga for the Kolyvan rocks are consistent with the zircon Hf-isotope data and indicate a long crustal prehistory of a source of the Mesoarchaean magmas. We conclude that the Mesoarchaean Kolyvan suite rocks was formed by reworking of Eo- to Palaeoarchaean lithosphere, which probably had been widespread throughout Volgo-Uralia. The obtained geochemical and isotope data can be reconciled in a model of deep mantle-plume activity at 3.1 Ga causing mantle underplating, extension of the Palaeoarchaean crust and high-T magmatism.

- How does solar wind energy flow through the Earth's magnetosphere, how is it converted and distributed? is the question we want to address. We need to understand how geomagnetic storms and substorms start and grow, not just as a matter of scientific curiosity, but to address a clear and pressing practical problem: space weather, which can influence the performance and reliability of our technological systems, in space and on the ground, and can endanger human life and health. Much knowledge has already been acquired over the past decades, particularly by making use of multiple spacecraft measuring conditions in situ, but the infant stage of space weather forecasting demonstrates that we still have a vast amount of learning to do. A novel global approach is now being taken by a number of space imaging missions which are under development and the first tantalising results of their exploration will be available in the next decade. In this White Paper, submitted to ESA in response to the Voyage 2050 Call, we propose the next step in the quest for a complete understanding of how the Sun controls the Earth's plasma environment: a tomographic imaging approach comprising two spacecraft in highly inclined polar orbits, enabling global imaging of magnetopause and cusps in soft X-rays, of auroral regions in FUV, of plasmasphere and ring current in EUV and ENA (Energetic Neutral Atoms), alongside in situ measurements. Such a mission, encompassing the variety of physical processes determining the conditions of geospace, will be crucial on the way to achieving scientific closure on the question of solar-terrestrial interactions.

Rare germline copy number variants (CNVs) and breast cancer risk

- Germline copy number variants (CNVs) are pervasive in the human genome but potential disease associations with rare CNVs have not been comprehensively assessed in large datasets. We analysed rare CNVs in genes and non-coding regions for 86,788 breast cancer cases and 76,122 controls of European ancestry with genome-wide array data. Gene burden tests detected the strongest association for deletions in BRCA1 (P = 3.7E−18). Nine other genes were associated with a p-value < 0.01 including known susceptibility genes CHEK2 (P = 0.0008), ATM (P = 0.002) and BRCA2 (P = 0.008). Outside the known genes we detected associations with p-values < 0.001 for either overall or subtype-specific breast cancer at nine deletion regions and four duplication regions. Three of the deletion regions were in established common susceptibility loci. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first genome-wide analysis of rare CNVs in a large breast cancer case-control dataset. We detected associations with exonic deletions in established breast cancer susceptibility genes. We also detected suggestive associations with non-coding CNVs in known and novel loci with large effects sizes. Larger sample sizes will be required to reach robust levels of statistical significance.
