Contrasting stress fields on correlating margins of the South Atlantic [PDF]

, 2015
The “passiveness” of passive continental margins across the globe is currently under debate since several studies have shown that these margins may experience a variety of stress states and undergo significant vertical movement post-breakup.

4D Insights into Coral Biomineralization: Effects of Ocean Acidification on the Early Skeleton Development of a Stony Coral

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Early coral skeletons grow through formation of two co‐joined zones, rapid accretion deposits and thickening deposits. Advanced imaging and simulations reveal that ocean acidification reshapes these zones, shifting the coral portfolio of mineral phases which alters skeletal resistance to mechanical stress.

Chemically Driven Nano‐Elastic Heterogeneities Control Fragility in Volcanic Melts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study elucidates how nanoscale structural heterogeneity governs the mechanical behavior of volcanic glasses across compositions from basalt to rhyolite. Using a physicochemical framework, correlation length (ξ) and microscopic free volume (Vc) are derived from vibrational and physical properties, revealing systematic trends with silica content that
