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.

Optical fiber sensors for coal mine shaft integrity and equipment condition monitoring [PDF]
Shaft is an important structure of mine. Deep mining increases mine pressure, induces shaft deformation and affects mine normal lifting. How to improve the inspection efficiency, reduce the maintenance cost and ensure the normal operation of the shaft is

Mapping the interactions between rivers and sand dunes: Implications for fluvial and aeolian geomorphology [PDF]
The interaction between fluvial and aeolian processes can significantly change Earth surface morphology. When rivers and sand dunes meet, the interaction of sediment transport between the two systems can lead to change in either or both systems. However,

Vegetation response to extreme climate events on the Mongolian Plateau from 2000 to 2010 [PDF]
Climate change has led to more frequent extreme winters (aka, dzud) and summer droughts on the Mongolian Plateau during the last decade. Among these events, the 2000–2002 combined summer drought–dzud and 2010 dzud were the most severe on vegetation.

U-Pb and Hf isotopic study of detrital zircons from the Wulashan khondalites: Constraints on the evolution of the Ordos Terrane, Western Block of the North China Craton [PDF]
Detrital zircons from the Wulashan khondalites in the Ordos Terrane, western block of the North China Craton, give U-Pb ages between 1.84 and 2.32 Ga, showing that their provenance was dominated by Paleoproterozoic rocks, much younger than those exposed ...
