Relationships Between Lithospheric Structures and Rifting in the East African Rift System: A Rayleigh Wave Tomography Study

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018
The East African Rift System (EARS) provides a unique location for exploring factors influencing the development and maturation of continental rifting.

Nb-depleted, continental rift-related Akaz metavolcanic rocks (West Kunlun): implication for the rifting of the Tarim Craton from Gondwana

open access: yes, 2002
The Akaz metavolcanic rocks of the West Kunlun Mountains possess low to intermediate SiO2 (42.3-64.7 wt%) and MgO (2.69-7.54 wt%) and high TiO2 (0.94-3.05 wt%) and Fe2O3T (7.64-18.47 wt%), indicating a basaltic to andesitic protolith.

The Outsiders: Principled Withdrawal, Whiteness, and Power in the Los Angeles Food Justice Movement

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article draws on understandings of whiteness and the misconstrual of South Central Los Angeles to analyze the power dynamics between “outsider” activists and residents of South Central as they worked toward a more equitable food system.

Business Realism—A New Account of Morality and Power in Business Ethics

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article introduces a new account of morality and power in business ethics called “business realism”. To this end, it first outlines the political realism literature—a view in political philosophy that deals with the question of the relation between morality and politics.

Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...

Investigating the Antarctic Lithosphere Through Sp Receiver Function Analysis

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
To better understand the lithosphere of Antarctica, we imaged its lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary (LAB) and crust‐mantle transition using Sp receiver functions from teleseismic events analyzed at individual stations and with common conversion point ...

Effects of finite rifting times on the development of sedimentary basins

open access: yes, 1983
Most thermo-mechanical models for the development of sedimentary basins have assumed that the rifting responsible for the formation of the basin occurred instantaneously and have examined the post-rift development of the basin.

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Conservation implications of low contemporary connectivity along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge in hydrothermal vent gastropods

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Polymetallic sulfide deposits produced at hydrothermal vent fields are targets for mining exploitation along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, threatening the functioning and resilience of vent ecosystems that provide multiple ecosystem services. Knowledge about connectivity between vents will inform conservation practices.
