ABSTRACT The Triassic succession of the northern North Sea comprises a series of interbedded sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates deposited under a fluctuating arid to semi‐humid climate regime, which are often difficult to correlate regionally due to differing lithostratigraphic schemes and poor age control. Despite existing regional studies on the

Marine melt in three dimensional Greenlandic sill fjord simulations
Submarine glacier melt rates of the Greenland Ice Sheet remain a major uncertainty in climate model projections of future sea level rise. Development of submarine melt parameterizations has to a high degree relied on ocean circulation modelling of ...

Listening to Tsunami Waves Induced by Glacier Calving
Abstract Processes at the ice–ocean interface play a central role in regulating the stability of marine‐terminating glaciers and ice sheets and drive ocean freshening and mixing. Iceberg calving—a mechanical loss of ice—generates ocean waves and promotes water‐mass exchange in glacierized bays.

ABSTRACT Rationale Closely related whale species can appear similar yet occupy distinct ecological niches. Sato's beaked whale (Berardius minimus) was only recently recognized as a separate species and was previously grouped with Baird's beaked whale (Berardius bairdii), limiting our understanding of their ecological differences.

A sustainable route to photoresponsive molecular systems is achieved using the bio‐based flavanone (‐)‐isolonchocarpin from Tephrosia vogelii. Through McMurry homocoupling and light‐driven 6‐π‐electrocyclization, an overcrowded alkene and a fluorescent O‐heterocyclic phenanthrene are synthesized.

Abstract Emerging global change imposes challenges for marine ecosystems placing them at the verge of collapse. The identification of early signs of ecosystem collapse is crucial to assist adaptive management. Shifts in the ecosystems are preceded by rewiring of ecological networks.

Numerical modelling of earthquake‐induced progressive rock slope damage in the paraglacial Serpentine valley, Prince William Sound, Alaska. Repeated seismicity generates rock mass damage that may have conditioned areas of the slope for failure during present‐day ice retreat.

Resolving bathymetry from airborne gravity along Greenland fjords
Recent glacier mass loss in Greenland has been attributed to encroaching warming waters, but knowledge of fjord bathymetry is required to investigate this mechanism. The bathymetry in many Greenland fjords is unmapped and difficult to measure.
