Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsA large‐scale apparent polar wander occurred during the Jurassic interval, which is interpreted as true polar wander (TPW). As the motion is nearly orthogonal to the TPW axis, the North China Block (NCB) experienced the largest latitudinal and ...

Petroleum geology of the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous of East and North-East Greenland: Blokelv-1 borehole, Jameson Land Basin: Burial and exhumation history of the Jameson Land Basin, East Greenland, estimated from thermochronological data from the Blokelv-1 core (including Appendix) [PDF]
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2018 Apatite fission-track analysis (AFTA) data in two Upper Jurassic core samples from the 231 m deep Blokelv-1 borehole, Jameson Land, East Greenland, combined with vitrinite reflectance data and regional AFTA data, define three palaeo-thermal episodes.

No legacy effects of severe drought on carbon and water fluxes in a Mediterranean oak forest
Plant Biology, EarlyView.A Mediterranean Quercus ilex forest was severely affected by a drought in 2017 but fully recovered in the following year, supported by favourable weather and growing conditions both before and after the event. Abstract Severe droughts affect vegetation through several processes, such as hydraulic failure, early leaf senescence, depletion of carbon ...

Microbial mats in dinosaur ichnocoenoses
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Until now, the significance of microbial mats in preservation of dinosaur tracks and in reconstructing the palaeoenvironment in which dinosaurs roamed was rarely studied. Dinosaur tracks are commonly found close to ancient aquatic bodies where moist sediment had once allowed footstep registration.
