Racial bias in criminal sentencing: Historical evidence from Chinese railway workers in British Columbia

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract Do discriminatory attitudes held in the public influence public institutions? We study this question within the context of the criminal justice system of historical British Columbia (BC). During the late 1870s and early 1880s, an influx of Chinese immigrant workers employed in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was the catalyst

Pockmark Distribution and Genesis in the Mediterranean and Black Seas: A Regional Synthesis

open access: yesGeosciences
Pockmarks are ubiquitous seafloor depressions formed by the fluid/gas seepage through marine sediments, with implications for geohazards, benthic ecosystems, and climate-related processes.

Mega‐Depressions on the Cocos Ridge: Links Between Volcanism, Faults, Hydrothermal Circulation, and Dissolution

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
High‐resolution bathymetry and three‐dimensional seismic data along the Cocos Ridge reveal a 245 km2 field of ∼1–4 km in diameter seafloor depressions. The seafloor depressions are part of a two‐tiered honeycomb pattern.

Methane-flow system within the Nyegga pockmark field, offshore mid-Norway

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
We investigated fluid seepage within the Nyegga pockmark field (600–900 m water depths) off mid-Norway from Remotely Operated Vehicle dives at the so-called CNE sites (CNE01 to CNE17).

Pockmarks Offshore Big Sur, California Provide Evidence for Recurrent, Regional, and Unconfined Sediment Gravity Flows

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface
Recent surface ship multibeam surveys of the Sur Pockmark Field, offshore Central California, reveal >5,000 pockmarks in an area that is slated to host a wind farm, between 500‐ and 1,500‐m water depth.

Aeolian and Biogeochemical Transformations of Detrital Gold Morphology in the Pool Burn Basin, Central Otago, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
The Pool Burn basin is a tectonic depression that became almost isolated from the regional drainage system by river reorientation during Pleistocene uplift of surrounding ridges. Consequently, detrital gold in the basin was largely locally derived, from supergene zones on orogenic deposits and recycled from paleoplacers in erosional remnants of Miocene

Bathymetry and Geomorphology of Shelikof Strait and the Western Gulf of Alaska

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
We defined the bathymetry of Shelikof Strait and the western Gulf of Alaska (WGOA) from the edges of the land masses down to about 7000 m deep in the Aleutian Trench.

Circular structures on the seabed: differentiating between natural and anthropogenic origins—Examples from the Southwestern Baltic Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Hydroacoustic observations of shallow marine environments reveal a variety of seafloor structures–both of natural and anthropogenic origin. Natural processes can result in features with circular geometries on the seafloor, such as kettles, sinkholes or ...

Mapping in the Arctic Ocean in Support of a Potential Extended Continental Shelf [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Under Article 76 of The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS; U.N. 1997), coastal states may, under certain circumstances, gain sovereign rights over the resources of the seafloor and subsurface of “submerged extensions of their ...

Studies on phosphorus deficiency in the Qianbei-Pockmarked goat [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Qianbei-Pockmarked goats are affected by a disorder locally referred to as 'Ruanguzheng Disorder', which is characterized by emaciation, lameness, muscular relaxation, stiffness of the extremities, and abnormal curvatures of the long bones. Our objective was to determine the relationship between the disorder and phosphorus deficiency.Tissue samples ...
