Flow directions of rivers are set by the mantle
Large rivers play crucial roles in determining loci of civilisation, natural resources and biodiversity. The positions of their mouths control nutrient and sediment supply to oceans. The paths that rivers take across the Earth’s surface varies considerably with scale. For example, at large scales big North American rivers (e.g.

Time constraints on the formation of lithospheric mantle beneath cratons: a re-Os isotope and platinum group element study of peridotite xenoliths from northern Canada and Lesotho, [PDF]
Understanding the generation and evolution of cratonic lithospheric keels requires detailed knowledge of their age, timescale of formation, and the relationship between the crust and mantle part of the lithosphere.

Abstract The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Relevancy Roadmap urges wildlife agencies to engage nontraditional audiences in activities such as hunting, yet little research has examined young Black Americans’ perceptions of and participation in hunting.

Analytical Parametrization of Self-Consistent Polycrystal Mechanics: Fast Calculation of Upper Mantle Anisotropy [PDF]
Progressive deformation of upper mantle rocks via dislocation creep causes their constituent crystals to take on a non-random orientation distribution (crystallographic preferred orientation or CPO) whose observable signatures include shear-wave ...

ABSTRACT Portable X‐ray computed tomography (portable CT) has become an important tool for the non‐destructive investigation of cultural heritage objects, particularly when in situ analysis is required. This work presents the experimental characterization and application of a transportable cone‐beam CT system designed for the inspection of large and ...

Theoretical and experimental studies indicate that when oceanic crust is hotter than about 800°C, variations in crustal thickness drive lower crustal flow.

Abstract The forthcoming general election will be the most consequential electoral contest for the Republic of Ireland in a century. The polity is situated in truly novel territory with the potential for an historic first: the incoming of a Sinn Féin‐led, left‐wing government.

This article investigates companionate processes of self‐making in a religious community of Catholic nuns in eastern Indonesia. I argue that the sociality of the convent establishes a unique context for understanding the effects of one's company on processes of self‐becoming.

One-dimensional seismic reference models are known to be a nonunique solution to global seismic data, hampering an interpretation in terms of physical structure. Here we test the compatibility of the simplest hypothesis of a mantle convecting as a whole,

Putting the Femme in Feminist: Trans Feminism and the ‘Male Lesbian’ in the American Second Wave
ABSTRACT A slur, a joke or a post‐structuralist case of mistaken identity. To the extent that the male lesbian has been discussed, she has figured dismissively. Yet throughout the period historicised as American feminism's second wave, potentially thousands of trans femmes organised under this identity. Despite being entirely overlooked in scholarship,
