Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Surface ocean circulation and organic carbon export across the mid-Pleistocene climate transition [PDF]
The mid-Pleistocene climate transition (MPT) marks a change in the nature of the climate system response to external forcing by insolation. This is represented first by the expansion of the northern hemisphere ice-sheets ca. 920 ka, and the emergence and

In this work, we used field investigations in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and determined the surface seawater distributions of atmospheric non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) and their oceanic sources. We conducted deck incubation experiments to investigate

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.

Long‐term hydrographic variability in the Northwest Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Hydrographic changes in the Northwest Pacific Ocean are examined using data for two time periods: 1945: 1975 and 1976:1998. The largest changes in T/S (2°C,0.2 psu) are within the interfrontal zone between the Kuroshio Extension (KE) and the subarctic (or Oyashio) front near the Shatsky Rise, and are consistent with a southward shift of the Kuroshio ...

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Time irreversibility as an indicator of approaching tipping points in Earth subsystems
With shifting environmental trends, many Earth system elements may be poised to undergo critical transitions or ‘tipping’. Reliable anticipation of these tipping elements is vital to inform policy decisions.

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Unique characteristics of winter daily minimum (Tmin) and maximum (Tmax) temperatures and freeze days across the conterminous United States from 1952 to 2024 are examined. Results show spatial heterogeneity in Tmin/Tmax warming rates across the tropical‐temperate transition zone in the southeastern United States, and that the highest temperature on the
