A review of topsoil governance for mining and agriculture in South Africa and abroad

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Topsoil is taken for granted as the dirt under our feet. Yet, humanity hinges on 15 cm of topsoil. As with potable water, topsoil is a natural resource we depend on daily. This review examines the chronological development of topsoil conservation through the governance of legal and other instruments since 1701. It highlights how topsoil is defined, its

The Price of Prosperity? A Historical Account of Regulating Industrial Pollution in the Netherlands

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regulatory governance and state‐corporate crime studies link persistent industrial pollution to long‐term regulatory–industry interactions, yet little is known about how these interactions evolve and become entrenched. This article examines two enduring cases of industrial pollution in the Netherlands—Hoogovens/Tata Steel and DuPont de Nemours/

A Mercury Lander Mission Concept Study for the Next Decadal Survey [PDF]

Mariner 10 provided our first closeup reconnaissance of Mercury during its three flybys in 1974 and 1975. MESSENGERs 20112015 orbital investigation enabled numerous discoveries, several of which led to substantial or complete changes in our fundamental ...

Mercury’s Lobate Scarps Reveal that Polygonal Impact Craters Form on Contractional Structures

The Planetary Science Journal
Analysis of polygonal impact craters (PICs) can be used to investigate the presence and orientations of subtle and/or buried faults and fractures across the solar system that may otherwise be unobservable in spacecraft images. Although this technique has

Re-examination of the Population, Stratigraphy, and Sequence of Mercurian Basins: Implications for Mercurys Early Impact History and Comparison with the Moon [PDF]

Mercury has one of the best preserved impact records in the inner Solar System due to the absence of an atmosphere, but it has much higher rates of surface modification than on the Moon. The earliest geological mapping of the planet revealed a variety of

Impact of 14 days of head‐down bed rest and an exercise countermeasure on skeletal muscle atrophy, proteome and circulatory cytokines in older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged bed rest and immobilization have deleterious effects on skeletal muscle mass and function, especially in older adults. These can lead to reduced physical capacity and quality of life. Previous experiments in younger individuals show that exercise can mitigate these effects, but evidence remains scarce and inconclusive in older adults.
