Nature of the Crust in the Superdeep Bengal Basin Using Teleseismic P Waves

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Bengal Basin is a sedimentary basin in the northeast region of the Indian subcontinent. It lies between the Indian Shield and the Indo‐Burma Ranges, where the India plate is obliquely subducting under the Burma microplate. Multiple interpretations of the nature of the crust here have been proposed.

Quantifying Gas and Thermal Energy Emissions in an Active Geothermal Area: Insights From Le Biancane (Larderello Field, Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Larderello‐Travale area in the northern Apennines of Italy hosts the world's oldest exploited geothermal field. Its success lies primarily in the presence of an extraordinary geothermal resource housed in a large vapor‐dominated fractured reservoir that produces superheated steam.

On late miocene abyssal hydrography

Marine Micropaleontology, 1981
Abstract This contribution is a summary of our studies on late Miocene isotope stratigraphy. We interpret the results using simple models and present additional evidence that the δ 13 C shift at 6.2 Ma was a time-stratigraphic event. The average deep-water metabolic CO 2 and nutrient content remained unchanged across the δ 13 C shift, but the net ...

Phylogenetic analysis of Middle-Late Miocene apes

Journal of Human Evolution, 2022
Despite intensive study, many aspects of the evolutionary history of great apes and humans (Hominidae) are not well understood. In particular, the phylogenetic relationships of many fossil taxa remain poorly resolved. This study aims to provide an updated hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships for Middle-Late Miocene fossil apes, focusing on those ...

Hominin locomotion and evolution in the Late Miocene to Late Pliocene

Journal of Human Evolution, 2023
In this review, we present on the evolution of the locomotor adaptation of hominins in the Late Miocene to Late Pliocene, with emphasis on some of the prominent advances and debates that have occurred over the past fifty years. We start with the challenging issue of defining hominin locomotor grades that are currently used liberally and offer our own ...

Bone Smashing by Late Miocene Hominidae

Nature, 1968

ASTROCHRONOLOGY OF LATE MIDDLE MIOCENE MEDITERRANEAN SECTIONS

2004
High-resolution cyclostratigraphy and calcareous plankton astrobiochronology have been obtained from the latest Langhian to the earliest Tortonian of the Mediterranean. The investigated areas (Malta, Tremiti, and Sicily) are located in different geological settings, and the three studied sections show different cyclicity. Direct correlation between the

Late Miocene drying of central Australia

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2019
Abstract A back to the future approach to climate change refines Neogene records of paleoclimatic cooling and drying as future climate states for a warming world. Near Alcoota station in central Australia is a late Miocene fossil mammal site for Alcoota (10 Ma) and Ongeva (8 Ma) local faunas.

Late Miocene “washhouse” climate in Europe

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2008
Abstract We present two eight-million year long proxy records of precipitation for Southwest and Central Europe, covering the middle to late Miocene (5.3–13 Ma) at a temporal resolution of about 60 kyr and 150 kyr, respectively. The estimates of precipitation are based on the ecophysiological structure of herpetological assemblages (amphibians and ...
