The lichen flora of the Chagos Archipelago : including a comparison with other island and coastal tropical floras [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The 1996 Chagos Expedition provided the first opportunity to study the archipelago’s lichen flora. Seventeen of the 55 islands were ecologically investigated, some in more detail than others, and lists and representative collections of lichens have been ...

Forearc Depressions Develop in Warm Subduction Zones by Underplating‐Induced Crustal Flexure

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 431-438, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We propose a model for forearc depression formation in warm subduction zones. Forearc depressions overlie some ocean‐continent subduction zones and form between a forearc high and volcanic arc. Forearc highs coincide with 51–91 mGal free‐air gravity anomalies and km‐scale reflector bands in seismic sections, indicating they comprise crust ...

A combinatorial approach to angiosperm pollen morphology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Angiosperms (flowering plants) are strikingly diverse. This is clearly expressed in the morphology of their pollen grains, which are characterized by enormous variety in their shape and patterning.

A GIS Method to Analyze Trajectories of Gross Changes Through Multiple Temporal Resolutions With an Application to Brazilian Soybean Cultivation

open access: yesTransactions in GIS, Volume 29, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Our manuscript presents Trajectory Analysis, which is a novel method to characterize patterns of gross changes during a time series of raster maps. This manuscript is our first article to elaborate on concepts and features of Trajectory Analysis that are necessary to analyze more than two time intervals.

Slab Tearing and Break‐Off Revealed by the 2024 M7.4 Taiwan Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.
Abstract Subduction zone earthquakes typically occur along plate interfaces or within subducting slabs, but rupture mechanisms at mixed collision–subduction boundaries remain poorly understood. The 2024 Mw 7.4 Hualien earthquake struck the suture between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate in eastern Taiwan.

Evidence for Caribbean Plate Subduction Beneath the Isthmus of Panama and Implications for Subduction Initiation and the Closure of the Central American Isthmus During the Miocene

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The evolution of the Isthmus of Panama during the Miocene resulted in climatic shifts leading to global cooling, reorganization of ocean currents, and regional mass extinctions. The causes of this change in ocean circulation between ∼15 and 5 Ma have been debated, with various tectonic scenarios being proposed as explanations for this event ...

Insights Into Seismic‐Induced Ionospheric Perturbation Following the 2025 Myanmar Earthquake

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract A major earthquake with a magnitude of MW = 7.7, followed by several aftershocks, occurred in Mandalay, Myanmar, on 28 March 2025. This study aims to report on the co‐seismic ionospheric disturbances caused by the event, based on a multi‐instrument approach that was adopted to examine co‐seismic effects.
