Forming Olivine Phenocrysts in Basalt: A 3D Characterization of Growth Rates in Laboratory Experiments

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Our current knowledge of the genesis, ascent, storage, and eruption of mafic magmas is intimately linked with olivine, its primary crystal cargo. Recent claims that phenocryst-size crystals can grow rapidly and non-concentrically are challenging our ...

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Groundwater Interactions With a Regulated River: A Case Study of the Nechako River, Canada

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regulated rivers represent complex hydrological systems where groundwater–surface water interactions are governed by natural conditions and human interventions. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of groundwater–surface water exchanges in the Nechako River, British Columbia (Canada), using numerical simulations.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.
