Anomalous negative excursion of carbon isotope in organic carbon after the last Paleoproterozoic glaciation in North America [PDF]
Early Paleoproterozoic time (2.5–2.0 Ga) spanned a critical phase in Earth's history, characterized by repeated glaciations and an increase in atmospheric oxygen (the Great Oxidation Event (GOE)).

Evidence of late Quaternary environmental change in a continental east Antarctic lake from lacustrine sedimentary pigment distributions [PDF]
A sediment core from Progress Lake, one of the oldest lacustrine sequences in East Antarctica, contains distinct zones dating from a previous interglacial (most likely Marine Isotope Stage 5e, c.

Characteristics of stable carbon isotopic composition of shale gas
A type Ⅱ kerogen with low thermal maturity was adopted to perform hydrocarbon generation pyrolysis experiments in a vacuum (Micro-Scale Sealed Vessel) system at the heating rates of 2 °C/h and 20 °C/h.

High-temporal resolution fluvial sediment source fingerprinting with uncertainty: a Bayesian approach [PDF]
This contribution addresses two developing areas of sediment fingerprinting research. Specifically, how to improve the temporal resolution of source apportionment estimates whilst minimizing analytical costs and, secondly, how to consistently quantify ...

Influence of hydrodynamic processes on the fate of sedimentary organic matter on continental margins [PDF]
Understanding the effects of hydrodynamic forcing on organic matter (OM) composition is important for assessment of organic carbon (OC) burial in marginal seas on regional and global scales.

Formation of secondary aerosols from gasoline vehicle exhaust when mixing with SO2 [PDF]
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) can enhance the formation of secondary aerosols from biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but its influence on secondary aerosol formation from anthropogenic VOCs, particularly complex mixtures like vehicle exhaust, remains

Design and characterization of a smog chamber for studying gas-phase chemical mechanisms and aerosol formation [PDF]
We describe here characterization of a new state-of-the-art smog chamber facility for studying atmospheric gas-phase and aerosol chemistry. The chamber consists of a 30 m3 fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) Teflon film reactor housed in a temperature ...

Selective organic matter preservation in "burn-down" turbidites on the Madeira Abyssal Plain [PDF]
Oxidized intervals of five organic-rich Madeira Abyssal Plain (MAP) turbidites deposited during the Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene all displayed comparable major loss of total organic carbon (TOC) (84 ± 3.1%) accompanied by a negative isotopic (δ13C)
