The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Organic matter in the Saf'yanovka copper massive sulfide deposit (Middle Urals)
The influence of tectonic processes on the transformation of organic matter in volcanic and volcano-sedimentary rocks within the East Ural uplift in the southern Rezh structural-formational zone was studied.

Stratabound arsenic and vein antimony mineralisation in Silurian greywackes at Glendinning, south Scotland [PDF]
Stratiform and disseminated pyrite-arsenopyrite concentrations are overprinted by fracturecontrolled polymetallic mineralisation including stibnite through at least tens of metres of Silurian sediments at Glendinning, near Langholm.

ABSTRACT The amount and stratigraphic setting of ground ice in permafrost slopes is a key control on the style and magnitude of permafrost mass wasting. Understanding the spatial and stratigraphic variations in ground ice distribution on permafrost slopes is therefore a fundamental property in assessing the stability of permafrost hillslopes.

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Microbial diversity, autotrophic- and heterotrophic processes in Mn-rich marine sediments
Marine microbial ecology aims to link microbial communities to the geochemical processes they drive. Molecular techniques have provided a view of the huge complexity of microbial communities and their metabolic potential, however, the information these ...

Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time
ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

ABSTRACT Illegal gold mining has emerged as a major sustainability threat in the Amazon, eroding Indigenous rights, forest integrity, and climate mitigation efforts. This study examines how international market incentives relate to the expansion of illegal mining and associated deforestation within the Yanomami Indigenous Territory (YIT) from 2008 to ...
