Geophysical 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.

Politics of evidence: Think tanks and the Academies Act
British Educational Research Journal, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1232-1253, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Previous research has identified political ideology as central in the landmark Academies Act (2010). This article further analyses how politics of evidence played its part in the policy process by focusing on long‐term structural changes and preferences among policymakers. The article draws on policymaker interviews after the reform, a mapping

Response of riparian vegetation to short‐ and long‐term hydrologic variation
Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Increasing demand for river water now conflicts with an increasing desire to maintain riparian ecosystems. Efficiently managing river flows for riparian vegetation requires an understanding of the time scale of flow effects, but this information is limited by the absence of long‐term studies of vegetation change in response to flow variation ...

Earth 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).

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 63-82, January 2023., 2023 Abstract This review examines the presence and evolution of thyroid‐like systems in selected aquatic invertebrates to determine the potential use of these organisms in screens for vertebrate thyroid hormone axis disrupting chemicals (THADCs). Such a screen might support the phasing out of some vertebrate testing.

The role of post-shock heating by plastic deformation during impact devolatilization of calcite [PDF]
, 2021 An accurate understanding of the relationship between the impact conditions and the degree of shock-induced thermal metamorphism in meteorites allows the impact environment in the early Solar System to be understood. A recent hydrocode has revealed that impact heating is much higher than previously thought.
