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

Sulfate reduction in the deep biosphere. [PDF]
, 2003 Dissimilatory sulfate reduction is the quantitatively most important terminal electron acceptor process in marine sediments. Sulfate reducing microorganisms are known to be able to live under almost all pressure and temperature conditions that allow life.

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Transcription factors of the MIT/TFE family—mitfa, mitfb, and tfec—play essential roles in specifying pigment cells derived from neural crest cells in vertebrates. In teleosts, which possess multiple pigment cell types, these factors exhibit partially redundant but largely distinct functions across different pigment lineages.

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

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The continental deep biosphere is suggested to contain a substantial fraction of the earth’s total biomass and microorganisms inhabiting this environment likely have a substantial impact on biogeochemical cycles.

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

Impact Disruption and Recovery of the Deep Subsurface Biosphere
Astrobiology, 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 ...

Perspectives of High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry in Soil Science
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil biogeochemical research requires specific, sensitive, and accurate methods to identify and quantify organic molecules in order to trace biochemical processes and assess element cycling in complex, heterogenous systems. High‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has evolved into a transformative tool for unraveling the complex chemical ...

Mercury cycling during the last glacial period in Arctic Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Russia
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tectonic processes play a key role in the global mercury (Hg) cycle on geological timescales, by mobilising Hg from deep Earth reservoirs to the surface. These natural fluxes also introduce a dynamic component to the terrestrial Hg cycle that can interact with other environmental signals and influence Hg delivery to sedimentary records.
