Holocene vegetation change and fire–plant diversity shifts in Mediterranean France

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in fire activity are recognized as a major threat to biodiversity and vegetation communities across the Mediterranean Basin. However, long‐term fire–vegetation interactions remain poorly investigated. Here, we combine a high‐resolution charcoal record with pollen data from the “Étang des Aulnes” lake (southern France) to reconstruct ...

Responses of primary producers, anoxia, and chemical feedback to Late Glacial climate change: Insights from a paired lake approach

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldwide, lacustrine ecosystems are threatened by eutrophication and deoxygenation. Both processes are driven by the combined effects of human activities and climate change. Understanding the pre‐anthropogenic nexus between warming, eutrophication, deoxygenation, and related feedback is essential to determine how lakes respond to rapid ...

Ngarrawa (mound spring) sediments as archives of Holocene environmental change in arid central Australia: Insights from Itrax XRF scanning

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central Australia's ngarrawa, or ‘mound springs’, are unique hydrological systems that serve as some of the only near‐permanent sources of water and continuous sediment deposition in Australia's arid interior. As such, they hold significant potential as palaeo‐climate and ‐environmental archives in a region where many aspects of past climate ...

Mercury cycling during the last glacial period in Arctic Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Russia

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tectonic processes play a key role in the global mercury (Hg) cycle on geological timescales, by mobilising Hg from deep Earth reservoirs to the surface. These natural fluxes also introduce a dynamic component to the terrestrial Hg cycle that can interact with other environmental signals and influence Hg delivery to sedimentary records.

Analysis of Corrosion and Wall Perforation in the Heat Exchanger Made of AISI 316L Stainless Steel

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Elevated passivation temperature is identified as the dominant factor triggering localized corrosion and subsequent perforation of AISI 316L heat exchanger tubes. Electrochemical and complementary characterization results show that the alloy retains high resistance to general, pitting, and intergranular corrosion, indicating that failure primarily ...

Corrosion of Potential Canister Materials During Oxic to Anoxic Transient in Compacted Bentonite

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
A comprehensive analytical approach was applied to investigate material degradation phenomena of cast iron and copper as potential canister materials for the safe disposal of high‐level radioactive waste, as well as compacted bentonite exposed to artificial water relevant for disposal. ABSTRACT The long‐term performance of the engineered barrier system

Co‐Evolution of Humans, AI, and Robotics in Autonomous Materials Manufacturing

National Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Materials manufacturing has entered into a new era with the rapid development of technologies. The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics technologies is transforming materials manufacturing from a traditional human‐centered practice into a human, AI, and robotics co‐evolution paradigm.
