Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency
Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

Abstract The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) Community Rheology Model (CRM) comprises a three‐dimensional geologic framework model (GFM) of southern California's lithosphere, and synthetic aggregate ductile flow laws applicable to each GFM rock type under low‐strain conditions. Given temperature, volatile content, pressure, and strain rate,

Magnetic Reversals During the Deccan Volcanism: Paleomagnetic Insights From the Pachmarhi Dykes
Abstract The three main dyke swarms that are linked to the Deccan Continental Flood Basalts are the Nasik‐Pune, Western Coastal, and Narmada‐Satpura‐Tapi (N‐S‐T) swarms. Encompassing approximately 244 mapped basaltic dykes, mainly trending E‐W and positioned along an ancient tectonic zone, the Pachmarhi dyke swarm is situated in the eastern N‐S‐T ...

Abstract Petrological and seismic constraints suggest differential sampling depth for ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks exposed in different segments of the fossil subduction zone of the Western Alps. However, the mechanisms for the observed differential exhumation remain to be understood. Here, we account for the continental margin subduction

Growth and Chemical Evolution of the Kohistan Arc Crust, Northern Pakistan, Western Himalayas
Abstract Fossil arcs which expose the middle‐lower crust have the potential to shed light on active arc processes because magmatic rocks from the entire history of the arc can be examined. We present new geochemical data from the middle crust of the Kohistan Arc and use existing geochemical and geochronological literature data from this arc to ...

Abstract It is recognized that mantle plumes play a direct role in generating regional uplift and producing immense volumes of basaltic magmatism, both of which can influence paleoclimate. The Icelandic Plume, beneath the North Atlantic Ocean, is of particular importance due to its size and position at a significant paleoceanographic gateway.

Abstract Tectonic subsidence, sea level, and paleoclimate reconstructions using marine records rely on accurate decompaction of the sediment column. Over time, increased overburden pressure from burial decreases sediment porosity with depth. The porosity‐depth relationship is lithology‐dependent and can be represented by an exponential function ...

Abstract The Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum (PETM, ∼56 Ma) is marked by a massive and rapid rise in atmospheric CO2 and ∼5°C of global warming. It is globally characterized by a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE), and, at least locally, is preceded by a pre‐onset excursion (POE).
