Abstract When, where, and how much fluid is released from subducting oceanic crust control deformation, element cycling, and magmatism in subduction zones. However, the palimpsest of tectonometamorphic processes in the exhumed rock record complicates the relation of geologic observations to geodynamic models of subduction fluid sources and transport ...

Use of molecular markers contribute to the identification of priority coconut accessions in the framework of the global strategy for conservation and use of coconut genetic resources [PDF]
To assist germplasm management using molecular markers, we propose here a method to be used in conjunction with geographic and phenotypic information. It can be used to evaluate the number of accessions that need to be reproduced as safety duplication or

Imprint of the Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation on the Ionosphere and Thermosphere
Abstract The Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation (QBO) is a dominant mode of stratospheric variability and is known to modulate the variability of the ionosphere‐thermosphere (IT) system. However, the extent of its influence on the ionosphere‐thermosphere system remains uncertain due to weak signals and confounding with similar periodicities in solar flux.

Abstract In Guatemala, the Cocos, North American, and Caribbean plates interact to create a region of high seismic risk. Previous analyses of crustal faults in the country have been overly simplified, creating discrepancies between geologic and geodetic slip rate models.
