Large Igneous Province Record Through Time and Implications for Secular Environmental Changes and Geological Time‐Scale Boundaries

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Exploring the frontiers of deep underground sciences and engineering—China Yunlong Lake Laboratory is striving to be the best

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 131-137, December 2022., 2022
General plan of the in‐situ experiment (WNS) base. Abstract This paper introduces the establishment of deep underground infrastructure for science and engineering research. First, the representative deep underground research laboratories and facilities in the world and their functions were summarized and reviewed.

Source areas of the Eastern Ebro Valley loess (NE Iberian Peninsula): Heavy mineral composition as a provenance indicator

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 15, Page 3611-3628, December 2022., 2022
The loess provenance areas of the Ebro and Móra basins are mainly the fluvial terraces of the Middle and Lower Ebro River, respectively, according to the analyses of very heavy minerals and particle size. The wind transport distances are relatively short (<100 km).

A New UHP‐HP Tectono‐Metamorphic Architecture for the Southern Dora‐Maira Massif Nappe Stack (Western Alps) Based on Petrological and Microstructural Evidence

open access: hybridJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The southern Dora‐Maira Massif, where coesite was first discovered 40 years ago, is among the most studied and better known example of high/ultra‐high‐pressure (HP/UHP) terranes. Previous to this study, the Polymetamorphic Basement Complex of the southern Dora‐Maira Massif has been defined as a nappe stack consisting of three juxtaposed ...

Evidence for a pre-Himalayan metamorphism in the High Himalayan Crystalline of the Miyar Valley (NW India)

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Geosciences, 2023
Most of the tectonic, metamorphic and geochronological data suggest that the Himalaya is essentially the consequence of a single orogenic cycle associated with the India-Asia collision during the Cenozoic era.

Craton Destruction Induced by Drastic Drops in Lithospheric Mantle Viscosity

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The disruption of the mantle roots of cratons is common after cratonization. Craton destruction, which is characterized by severe lithospheric thinning, extensive thrust and extensional deformation, basin filling, and intense thermal activities, is relatively rare and is generally attributed to intensely reduced viscosity contrasts between the

Testing Predictions for Migration of Meandering Rivers: Fit for a Curvature‐Based Model Depends on Streamwise Location and Timescale

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Many meandering rivers migrate, at rates that vary both along‐stream and inversely with the observation interval. Many numerical models have been developed to predict this migration; their success is usually evaluated statistically or by qualitative comparison to observations in map view.

Repeating Low Frequency Icequakes in the Mont‐Blanc Massif Triggered by Snowfalls

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Deformation mechanisms of glaciers are highly sensitive to basal temperature; the motion of temperate glaciers is dominated by basal slip while cold‐based glaciers deform mainly by internal creep. While basal slip is usually aseismic, unstable slip sometimes occurs and can be detected by seismometers.
