Optimal mud pressure design using nonlinear failure criteria for wellbores in shaley sedimentary reservoir

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The present study uses the Modified Mohr‐Coulomb true‐triaxial failure criterion (MMC_TT), which predicts the strength of rock better than the MGC criterion in laboratory true‐triaxial tests to overcome the limitations. Moreover, based on the data from previously published five vertical wells in the Krishna‐Godavari basin (K‐G basin), an empirical ...

Investigations of paleogeographic variations on the basis of the stratotype section of Viatovo at the Lower Danube

open access: yesHungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2012
The Plio-Pleistocene changes of paleogeographic environment in the Lower Danube Basin were investigated with the involvement of new granulometric analytical methods.

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.

Fault slip-rate variations during crustal-scale strain localisation, central Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Rates of plate motion are generally uniform over 10–102 Myrs timescales. Faults between tectonic plates might, therefore, be expected to show temporally-uniform slip-rates if the same number of faults remain active. For an extending region of the Eurasia-

Performance of Cerrado lizards: a test of the center–periphery hypothesis

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The center–periphery hypothesis (CPH) states that species' demographic performance declines from the center towards the periphery of their geographic range due to increasingly suboptimal environmental conditions. We tested the predictions under the CPH using two lizard lineages with different activity patterns and distributions, taking lizard body ...

Eccentricity Paces Late Pleistocene Glaciations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Late Pleistocene glacial terminations are caused by rising atmospheric CO2 occurring in response to atmospheric and ocean circulation changes induced by increased discharge from Northern Hemisphere ice sheets.

Pliocene and Pleistocene [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1925
As you quote in NATURE of February 21, p. 278, from a note of mine printed in No. 6 of Natural History (American Museum of Natural History), will you allow me to state that the note quoted was not submitted to me in proof by the editor of Natural History. The part you quote embodies a serious misprint.

Ages on weathered Plio-Pleistocene tephra sequences, western North Island, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Using the zircon fission-track method, we have obtained five ages on members of two strongly-weathered silicic, Pliocene-Pleistocene tephra sequences, the Kauroa and Hamilton Ash formations, in western North Island, New Zealand.

Which global circulation model works best for my region? Concordance with genetic data for a Neotropical shrew

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Copious questions in global change biology require estimates of climatic suitability for species in the past or future, often via transfers of ecological niche models (ENMs) using outputs from global circulation models (GCMs). However, available GCMs differ markedly, affecting hindcasts and forecasts of species potential distributions. We propose using
