Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

World's fastest 10 000‐m breakthrough: The XY‐22 well redefines deep‐earth access in the Tarim Basin

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Tarim Basin in northwestern China hosts one of the world's deepest petroleum systems, exemplified by the XY‐22 ultra‐deep well (bottom depth: 11 116 m; ~220°C, ~145 MPa). This study integrates tectonic mapping, geological cross‐sections, ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy, and optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy to characterize ...

Everything Changed, Yet Hunting Rights Did Not: Formulation of Wildlife Property Rights in Postsocialist Slovenia

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study uses the policy regime framework to examine how background conditions, institutions, and actor configurations shaped hunting rights within the forest–wildlife policy domain during Slovenia's postsocialist transformation. Drawing on media analysis, in‐depth interviews with policymakers, and legislative documents, it conducts a ...

Life in the Deep Sub-Seafloor Biosphere [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2003
The interest in the origin of life on earth and the prospects of life on other planets have accelerated in recent years and have gained great public awareness. Whereas life has been explored and found everywhere on the surface of our own planet, the deep subsurface was until recently considered to be influenced only by abiotic processes.

Two Shades of Green? Gender Differences in Environmental Concern and Activism

open access: yesInternational Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines gender differences in environmental concern and activism using data from the World Values Survey. The results indicate that women are more likely than men to be concerned about the environment, but are less likely to engage in environmental activism.

Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 247-262., 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.

Maternal and neonatal outcomes in Gaza amid armed hostilities in 2025

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study documents facility‐based maternal, obstetric, and neonatal outcomes and associated conflict‐related exposures and living conditions among pregnancy‐related encounters at Al‐Helou Maternity Hospital in Gaza from late April to early September 2025, with a small number of additional encounters recorded at Al‐Shifa Medical ...

A Zonal‐Meridional Projection Method for Quantifying Global Land‐Ocean Moisture Transport

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We present a physically consistent and computationally efficient method to quantify global coastal moisture transport by projecting vertically integrated moisture flux onto signed land–ocean boundary segments. The signed projection naturally distinguishes ocean‐to‐land inflow and land‐to‐ocean outflow without explicit directional classification ...

Taxonomic revision of the genus Tzveleviochloa (Poaceae, Aveninae) in India

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The taxonomy of Tzveleviochloa in India is revised based on morphological evidence, comprehensive observations of herbarium specimens and field records, and several botanical explorations in the study area. The accepted diversity is increased from two to five species, including two recently described species. The genus is distributed in the Western and

Impact Disruption and Recovery of the Deep Subsurface Biosphere

open access: yesAstrobiology, 2012
Although a large fraction of the world's biomass resides in the subsurface, there has been no study of the effects of catastrophic disturbance on the deep biosphere and the rate of its subsequent recovery. We carried out an investigation of the microbiology of a 1.76 km drill core obtained from the ∼35 million-year-old Chesapeake Bay impact structure ...
