The Fiery Eyes of a Maenad: Origin Determination of Faceted Garnet Eye Inlays in a Roman Bronze Bust From Southern Tyrol

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1837, the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck, Austria, purchased a Roman bronze statue of a maenad from the 2nd century ce with red garnets as facetted eye inlays found near Brixen, Southern Tyrol. These garnets were investigated using optical microscopy, a portable hand‐held and a stationary micro‐X‐ray fluorescence device, as

Definition of springtime easterly wind bursts in the Indian Ocean and their roles in triggering positive IOD events

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications
Using wind reanalysis dataset, we propose a definition for easterly wind bursts (EWBs) occurring in the Indian Ocean and analyze their effects on positive Indian Ocean Dipole (pIOD) events. It was found that there were eight pIOD events during the period

Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Suppressed Changes of the Makassar Strait Throughflow During the 2020–2023 “Triple‐Dip” La Niña by Indian Ocean Winds

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
As a crucial component of global ocean circulation, the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is modulated by the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation. While multi‐year La Niña events often greatly enhance the volume transport of the ITF, the 2020–2023 La Niña caused ...

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Influence of the Sea Surface Temperature in the Indian Ocean on the In-Phase Transition between the South Asian and North Australian Summer Monsoons

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2008
In this study we investigate the physical processes underlying maintenance of an in-phase transition between the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) and the succeeding North Australian summer monsoon (NASM).

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

Interdecadal modulation of Ningaloo Niño/Niña strength in the Southeast Indian Ocean by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation

open access: yesNature Communications
The Southeast Indian Ocean is a global hotspot for marine heatwaves. In that region, marine heatwaves/cold-spells are known as Ningaloo Niño/Niña events, and have substantial impacts on regional climate anomalies and unique marine ecosystems.
