Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

M. E. Grant Duff, Philosophic Liberalism and the Global Liberal Cause
Abstract Historians disagree about how best to conceptualize nineteenth‐century British Liberalism in relation to its international contexts. This article argues that we can better understand the patterns involved by interrogating individuals who bridged the worlds of partisan politics and elaborated thought.

This is the first proof of beachrock found on the nearshore of the Gulf of Saros. Beachrock generation was influenced by tectonic activity, geomorphological processes, and sedimentation. The Late Holocene beachrock deposits were altered by co‐seismic deformation.

This review presents an investigation of the evolution of the Baltic Sea basin and its connections through the Eemian Stage, based upon sequences of marine and associated deposits from the White Sea to the Southwest Baltic, via the Karelian channel. Pollen analyses, foraminiferal and ostracod analyses provide the evolution of relative sea‐level change,

Increased metamorphic conditions in the lower crust during oceanic transform fault evolution [PDF]
Oceanic transform faults connect the segments of active spreading ridges that slide past each other. In a classical view, transform faults are considered conservative, where no material is added or destroyed.

Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.

Mafic High‐Pressure Rocks Are Preferentially Exhumed From Warm Subduction Settings
The oceanic crust that enters a subduction zone is generally recycled to great depth. In rare and punctuated episodes, however, blueschists and eclogites derived from subducted oceanic crust are exhumed.

RioM‐1: A New Calcite Reference Material for U‐Pb LA‐ICP‐MS Geochronology
Key Points RioM‐1 calcite was characterised for trace elements, U‐Pb geochronology, Sr and O isotopes using ID‐TIMS, LA‐ICP‐MS and SIMS. U‐Pb dates from ID‐TIMS and LA‐ICP‐MS across several independent laboratories returned identical results within uncertainty.

EARTH CRUST IN OCEANS AND STRIP ANOMALIES OF MAGNETIC FIELD
Examples of the isolation and interpretation of the strip anomalies of the magnetic field of the oceans are considered. Data were used on the eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean over most of the western coast of North America and on the Knipovich Ridge at ...

Mechanism of crustal extension in the Laxmi Basin, Arabian Sea
Continental rifting and magmatism has been extensively studied worldwide as it is believed that continental rifting, break up of continents and associated magmatism lead to genesis of new oceanic crust.
