Seasonal inflow of warm water onto the southern Weddell Sea continental shelf, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2012 To capture the austral summer to winter transition in water mass properties over the southern Weddell Sea continental shelf and slope region, 19 Weddell seals were tagged with miniaturized conductivity–temperature–depth sensors in February 2011.

Notes on a 1-D model of continental shelf resonances [PDF]
, 2011 This paper reviews earlier work and provides new results from a one-dimensional model of the scattering of a tidal wave by a continental shelf. When the continental shelf is many wavelengths wide, a large fraction of the incident tidal energy can ...

On the impact of a radiational open boundary condition on continental shelf resonances [PDF]
, 2013 Studies carried out with a one-dimensional model of a continental shelf and deep ocean have shown that the use of a radiational boundary condition doubles the decay rate of the shelf resonances.

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 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.

How and why small volcanic ocean islands collapse and move vertically up and down
Scientific ReportsMass controls two major processes in volcanic islands: large-scale collapse and vertical movements. Therefore, large islands like Hawaii are gradually subsiding and have undergone massive landsliding.
