Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 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.

Indonesian Throughflow drove Australian climate from humid Pliocene to arid Pleistocene
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 Late Miocene to mid‐Pleistocene sedimentary proxy records reveal that northwest Australia underwent an abrupt transition from dry to humid climate conditions at 5.5 million years (Ma), likely receiving year‐round rainfall, but after ~3.3 Ma, climate ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Future precipitation increase constrained by climatological pattern of cloud effect
Nature Communications, 2023 The fractional increase in global mean precipitation ( $$\triangle \bar{P}/\bar{P}$$ △ P ¯ / P ¯ ) is a first-order measure of the hydrological cycle intensification under anthropogenic warming.

Underwater Noise Measurements around a Tidal Turbine in a Busy Port Setting
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Acoustic emissions from current energy converters remain an environmental concern for regulators because of their potential effects on marine life and uncertainties about their effects stemming from a lack of sufficient observational data. Several recent

Analysis of the 20-Year Variability of Ocean Wave Hazards in the Northwest Pacific
Remote Sensing, 2023 In the Northwest Pacific (NWP), where a unique monsoon climate exists and where both typhoons and extratropical storms occur frequently, hazardous waves pose a significant risk to maritime safety. To analyze the 20-year variability of hazardous waves in this region, this study utilized hourly reanalysis data from the ECMWF ERA5 dataset covering the ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Australasian crocodylian fossil record is dominated by the extinct endemic clade Mekosuchinae, with known members spanning the Eocene‐to‐Holocene. This diverse clade exhibited high morphological disparity, from early members superficially similar to Crocodylus, to more terrestrial forms later in the clade's evolutionary history.

Geomagnetic observatory operates at the seafloor in the northwest Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2004 The need to establish seafloor observatories has been important for decades. Multidisciplinary efforts aimed at establishing such observatories [e.g.,Beranzoli et al., 1998] are now culminating the ongoing Ocean Observatories Initiative [Copley, 2004].This article reports on how the world's first seafloor geomagnetic observatory NWP (North‐Western ...
