Rapid eruption of the Columbia River flood basalt and correlation with the mid-Miocene climate optimum

open access: yesScience Advances, 2018
U-Pb ages show Earth’s youngest flood basalt province erupted in 750 ka starting ~16.65 Ma during Miocene global warming. Flood basalts, the largest volcanic events in Earth history, are thought to drive global environmental change because they can emit ...

How big is the energy efficiency resource?

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
Most economic theorists assume that energy efficiency—the biggest global provider of energy services—is a limited and dwindling resource whose price- and policy-driven adoption will inevitably deplete its potential and raise its cost.
