Pliocene Te Aute limestones, New Zealand: Expanding concepts for cool-water shelf carbonates [PDF]
Acceptance of a spectrum of warm- through cold-water shallow-marine carbonate facies has become of fundamental importance for correctly interpreting the origin and significance of all ancient platform limestones.

Analysis of CO2 leakage through "low-permeability" faults from natural reservoirs in the Colorado Plateau, southern Utah [PDF]
The numerous CO2 reservoirs in the Colorado Plateau region of the United States are natural analogues for potential geologic CO2 sequestration repositories.

ABSTRACT Despite its nutritional and industrial significance, selenium (Se) is considered a pollutant in aquatic environments owing to its toxicity at elevated concentrations, which potentially cause environmental degradation and adverse health effects in humans and local biota.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition leads to many changes in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, affecting ecosystem processes and species composition. Terrestrial vegetation often shifts from being N‐limited to light‐limited and becomes dominated by a few fast‐growing strong competitors and generalist species.

ABSTRACT The archaeological site of Las Estacas Cave (NW Tenerife, Canary Islands) preserves some of the earliest human occupations in Tenerife, dating to the 2nd century CE, spanning the entire pre‐European time range up to the 15th century. Using soil micromorphology, this study applies a geoarchaeological approach to reconstruct site formation ...

The distribution of evaporitic weathering products on Antarctic meteorites [PDF]
White evaporite deposits of terrestrial origin occur on some 5 percent of Antarctic meteorites. The few previous studies, and new mineralogical analyses, indicate that the deposits are predominately carbonates and/or sulfates of magnesium.

Abstract The basal strata of the orbitally defined Layered Sulfate unit (LSu) in Gale crater, Mars, marks the end of a major mineralogical transition from clay‐to sulfate‐bearing stratigraphy. This has previously been attributed to a period of significant aridification of Gale's climate. Here, we present ground‐based observations by the Curiosity rover
