Mineral reconnaissance at the Highland boundary with special reference to the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Serpentinite bodies at the Highland Boundary in the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas are extensively altered to magnesite-quartz and ferroan-dolomite-quartz rocks. Silicification was probably initiated before conversion to carbonate.

The Spitzer Spectroscopic Survey of S-type Stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
S-type AGB stars are thought to be in the transitional phase between M-type and C-type AGB stars. Because of their peculiar chemical composition, one may expect a strong influence of the stellar C/O ratio on the molecular chemistry and the mineralogy of ...

Impact Reactivation of a Hydrothermal System in Basalt in the Vargeão Dome Impact Structure, Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract As hydrous minerals have been observed in impact craters on Mars, impact‐generated hydrothermal systems (IGHSs) have been considered as potential habitats for life on that planet. The Vargeão Dome, a 12 km wide impact structure in southern Brazil, was formed in basalts with at least two hydrothermal alteration stages.

Ichnological insights into deoxygenation across the Cenomanian–Turonian Boundary Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 in the northern extent of Western Interior Seaway (west‐central Alberta)

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 355-390, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In‐depth ichnological and sedimentological analyses of the Cenomanian–Turonian boundary Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE2) from the Western Interior Seaway of west‐central Alberta reveal a persistent physico‐chemically stressed setting. The interval is characterised by a dominantly diminutive and diminished ichnological assemblage, with familiar ...

On the Energy Source of Green Emissions in Ghost

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract The understanding on the formation mechanism of ghosts as a new category of transient luminous events and favorable conditions for their occurrence is limited. In this work, we examined six ground‐based observations of ghost events captured by digital SLR cameras.

First Observations and Characteristics of Positive Upward Illumination Strokes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Upward Illumination (UI) strokes are a subtype of cloud‐to‐ground (CG) return strokes characterized by two concurrent branches striking the ground a few milliseconds apart. The luminous channel of an UI stroke does not connect to the main channel, which gives this phenomenon its name.

Stochastic Resonance Elucidates the Emergence and Periodicity Transition of Glacial Cycles

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Glacial cycles emerged with a 41‐kyr period after the Pliocene and later intensified with a 100‐kyr period in the mid‐Pleistocene, which were attributed to Earth's orbital variations. However, no significant changes in the orbital forcing were found at the two transitions, and the forcing was too small to drive these cycles. Here, a stochastic

Properties of Protostars in the Elephant Trunk in the Globule IC 1396A [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Extremely red objects, identified in the early Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the bright-rimmed globule IC 1396A and photometrically classified as Class I protostars and Class II T Tauri stars based on their mid-infrared (mid-IR) colors, were ...

Southern Ocean Clear‐Sky Brightening From Sea Spray Aerosol Increase Drives Departure From Hemispheric Albedo Symmetry

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Observations reveal significant negative trends in reflected shortwave radiation over the 21st century. The global‐mean darkening is primarily driven by clouds, while the global‐mean atmospheric clear‐sky signal is near zero due to offsetting trends in the two hemispheres.
