Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Confirmation of the impact origin of the Late Ordovician Tvären impact structure (southeast Sweden) and emplacement of impactites in a marine setting

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine‐target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact.

Polymict melt‐bearing breccia dikes in the Morokweng impact structure formed by slip‐induced mechanical mixing of pseudotachylite and cataclasite along large‐displacement impact faults

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...

Morals, Markets, and Medicine

open access: yesSociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthcare in the United States is defined by profit motives and economic inequality, yet medical providers and organizations are also guided by moral values such as a commitment to patient well‐being. How have sociologists made sense of this apparent contradiction?

Linking Stress Drop and Slip Heterogeneity to Assess Source Rupture Directivity for Earthquakes in Central Italy

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examine the relationship between Brune stress drop and fault slip where the stress drop is estimated using the Empirical Green's Function (EGF) method and slip distribution is derived from seismic and geodetic data inversion.
