Adaptation of the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) to soil loss modeling in a semi-arid watershed: a case study from western high atlas, Morocco
(Springer, 2022-11)Soil loss called also soil erosion is one of the most irreversible natural phenomena that affect the topsoil of Earth’s surface worldwide, as it causes soil fertility reduction, water availability decrease, and initiation ... -
Post-rift geomorphological evolution of a passive continental margin (Paraíba region, northeastern Brazil): Insights from river profile and drainage divide analysis
(Elsevier, 2022-10-01)The post-rift erosional history of elevated passive continental margins (EPCMs) has been considered of low-rate tectonics across many regions worldwide. However, research in the northeastern Brazilian passive continental ... -
Mesoscale eddies and the impact of coastal iron supply on primary production in the South Pacific Subtropical Front
(Elsevier, 2022-10)Subtropical and subantarctic waters either side of the southern hemisphere Subtropical Front are considered iron-limited, suggesting production within the front is dependent on a supply of iron from atmospheric deposition, ... -
CO2 uptake decreased and CH4 emissions increased in first two years of peatland seismic line restoration
(Springer, 2022-04)Oil and gas exploration has resulted in over 300,000 km of linear disturbances, known as seismic lines, throughout boreal peatlands across Canada. Sites are left with altered hydrologic and topographic conditions that ... -
Fault slip-rates and Coulomb stress interactions in the intersection zone of the Hope, Kelly and Alpine Faults, South Island, New Zealand
(Elsevier BV, 2022-11)Plate boundary faulting in New Zealand's South Island involves transfer of ∼50% of slip from the largest fault (Alpine Fault) onto the Hope-Kelly Fault system through a structurally complex fault intersection zone. The ... -
Visualisation of exhaled breath metabolites reveals distinct diagnostic signatures for acute cardiorespiratory breathlessness
(American Association for the Advancement of ScienceUnited States, 2022-11-16)Acute cardiorespiratory breathlessness accounts for one in eight of all emergency hospitalizations. Early, noninvasive diagnostic testing is a clinical priority that allows rapid triage and treatment. Here, we sought to ... -
Sequential Lonsdaleite to Diamond Formation in Ureilite Meteorites via <i>In Situ</i> Chemical Fluid/Vapor Deposition
(National Academy of SciencesUnited States, 2022-09-12)Ureilite meteorites are arguably our only large suite of samples from the mantle of a dwarf planet and typically contain greater abundances of diamond than any known rock. Some also contain lonsdaleite, which may be harder ... -
Timing of Tectonic and Magmatic Events in the Philippine Sea Plate Since 50 Ma From High‐Resolution Magnetostratigraphy of IODP Site U1438
(American Geophysical Union, 2022-10-13)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The Philippine Sea Plate in the West Pacific is a unique natural laboratory to study subduction dynamics and the evolution of upper plate magmatism following subduction initiation. ... -
The influence of creeping slope failure on turbidity current behaviour
(Wiley, 2022-10-07)<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>Erosional scars, slumps, slides and debrites (mass‐transport deposits) on submarine slopes form relief that influences turbidity current behaviour. However, the interaction of ... -
30-year record of Himalaya mass-wasting reveals landscape perturbations by extreme events
(Nature ResearchEngland, 2021-11-18)In mountainous environments, quantifying the drivers of mass-wasting is fundamental for understanding landscape evolution and improving hazard management. Here, we quantify the magnitudes of mass-wasting caused by the ...
