A bigger splat: The catastrophic geology of a 1.2-b.y.-old terrestrial megaclast, northwest Scotland
Geology, 2020 Rockfalls are relatively little described from the ancient geological record, likely due to their poor preservation potential. At Clachtoll, northwest Scotland, a megaclast (100 m × 60 m × 15 m) of Neoarchean Lewisian gneiss with an estimated mass of ...

Effective crustal permeability controls fault evolution: An integrated structural, mineralogical and isotopic study in granitic gneiss, Monte Rosa, Northern Italy [PDF]
, 2016 Two dextral faults within granitic gneiss in the Monte Rosa nappe, northern Italy reveal key differences in their evolution controlled by evolving permeability and water/rock reactions.

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract We use the Multiple Element Limitation (MEL) model to examine responses of 12 ecosystems to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2), warming, and 20% decreases or increases in precipitation. Ecosystems respond synergistically to elevated CO2, warming, and decreased precipitation combined because higher water‐use efficiency with elevated CO2 and higher ...

Evidence from Rb–Sr mineral ages for multiple orogenic events in the Caledonides of Shetland, Scotland [PDF]
, 2015 Shetland occupies a unique central location within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Thirty-three new high-precision Rb–Sr mineral ages indicate a polyorogenic history.

Quaternary rupture of a crustal fault beneath Victoria, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]
, 2017 The seismic potential of crustal faults within the forearc of the northern Cascadia subduction zone in British Columbia has remained elusive, despite the recognition of recent seismic activity on nearby fault systems within the Juan de Fuca Strait.

The role of riparian vegetation flexibility in a bio‐hydro‐morphodynamic simulation
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 15, Page 3481-3496, December 2022., 2022 We conducted a bio‐hydro‐morphodynamic simulation to clarify the impact of vegetation flexibility on river bedform development. The figure compares vegetation cover and height during a flooding of channels with flexible (top) and rigid vegetation (bottom). The figure indicates that flexible vegetation reduced its height.
