Re‐Evaluating the Thermogenic Decarbonation During Large Igneous Provinces Emplacement Using Temperature‐Dependent Thermal Properties

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Large Igneous Provinces emplacement drives mass extinctions through rapid carbon release, but the relative contributions of magmatic degassing versus thermogenic decarbonation remain debated. Here, we incorporate temperature‐dependent thermal parameters into models of contact metamorphism around intruding sills.

Fracture Properties of Kerogen and Importance for Organic-Rich Shales

open access: yes, 2013
Oil and gas produced from organic-rich shales have become in the last ten years one of the most promising sources of unconventional fossil fuels. The oil and gas are trapped in rocks of very small permeability, but hydraulic fracturing enables to operate those reservoirs with competitive costs.

Depositional History of the Namibian Mud Belt Reveals Late Holocene Weakening of the Benguela Coastal Current

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We investigate late Holocene changes in the northern Benguela Upwelling System using a multi‐proxy approach on shallow shelf deposits from the Namibian mud belt. Three sediment cores characterized by organic carbon‐rich, anoxic, and partly gas‐bearing sediments were retrieved along a sampling transect at 23°S in August 2019.

Formation and Alteration of Magnesite Nodules From Kunwarara, Queensland, Australia, as an Analog to Mg‐Carbonate Formation on Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Magnesite (MgCO3) is a magnesium (Mg) carbonate mineral that records the aqueous environmental conditions of its formation. On Earth, magnesite forms in metamorphic, diagenetic or pedogenic environments, and distinguishing between these environments is critical for understanding the fluid chemistry during magnesite precipitation. Mg carbonates

Dolomitic Microfossil Preservation in a Cryogenian Microbial Reef, Arkaroola (South Australia)

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial dolostones that now form the Arkaroola reef, northern Adelaide Rift Complex, and were deposited during the Cryogenian interglacial period, display a wide range of meso‐scale stromatolite morphotypes in outcrop. Microcharacterisation involving optical microscopy, combined scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy

Red to Green: A Lipid Biomarker Record of Tonian‐Ediacaran Algae in Siberia

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiple lines of evidence point to a major diversification of Eukarya in the late Tonian period, ca. 800–720 Ma ago. Regular steranes, lipid biomarkers primarily sourced from eukaryotes, are first unambiguously reported from multiple sites. Here, we present lipid biomarker stratigraphic records from two drill‐cores from the Lena‐Anabar Basin ...

Thallium Isotopes Across the Smithian‐Spathian Boundary: Evidence for Anoxia Throughout Most of the Early Triassic

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Following the largest known Phanerozoic extinction, the end‐Permian mass extinction, the Early Triassic is often considered an interval of slow biotic recovery. During this time, the minor Smithian‐Spathian extinction occurred, further delaying the biotic recovery of this epoch.
