Marcasite at the Permian‐Triassic Transition
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 377-399., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Cold Seeps in a Warming Arctic: Insights for Benthic Ecology [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Cold-seep benthic communities in the Arctic exist at the nexus of two extreme environments; one reflecting the harsh physical extremes of the Arctic environment and another reflecting the chemical extremes and strong environmental gradients associated with seafloor seepage of methane and toxic sulfide-enriched sediments.

A deep‐sea sulfate‐reducing bacterium generates zero‐valent sulfur via metabolizing thiosulfate
mLife, 2022 Zero‐valent sulfur (ZVS) is a crucial intermediate in the sulfur geobiochemical circulation and is widespread in deep‐sea cold seeps. Sulfur‐oxidizing bacteria are thought to be the major contributors to the formation of ZVS.

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2023 Relatively little is known about the taxonomy and ecology of deep-sea nematode species inhabiting cold seep habitats. The available data show that cold seep nematode communities are typically characterized by low diversity and are often dominated by a ...

Clathrate hydrate crystallization
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Clathrate hydrate crystallization has been an area of interest to chemical engineers from the point of view of crystal structure, thermophysical properties, phase equilibria, kinetics, industrial applications, and environmental (climate change) implications.
