Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Silicic Acid Removal by Metal-Organic Frameworks for Silica-Scale Mitigation in Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are susceptible to silica scaling, resulting in irreversible degradation of membrane performance. This work covered the fabrication of MIL-101(Fe) for silicic acid adsorption to alleviate the silica scaling of RO membranes.

Derivation of intermediate to silicic magma from the basalt analyzed at the Vega 2 landing site, Venus. [PDF]
Geochemical modeling using the basalt composition analyzed at the Vega 2 landing site indicates that intermediate to silicic liquids can be generated by fractional crystallization and equilibrium partial melting. Fractional crystallization modeling using

Silica cycling in the ultra-oligotrophic eastern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Although silica is a key plant nutrient, there have been few studies aimed at understanding the Si cycle in the eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS). Here we use a combination of new measurements and literature values to explain the silicic acid distribution ...

Provenance history of a Late Triassic-Jurassic Gondwana margin forearc basin, Murihiku Terrane, North Island, New Zealand: petrographic and geochemical constraints [PDF]
The Murihiku Terrane in the North Island was a forearc basin adjacent to a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The rocks that infill the basin are mainly volcaniclastic sandstones and mudstones, often turbiditic, with ...

A stress-controlled mechanism for the intensity of very large magnitude explosive eruptions [PDF]
Large magnitude explosive eruptions are the result of the rapid and large-scale transport of silicic magma stored in the Earth's crust, but the mechanics of erupting teratonnes of silicic magma remain poorly understood.

Selective removal of silicic acid by a gallic-acid modified resin
To remove silicic acid from aqueous solutions, a novel gallic acid-type resin (GA-type resin) was prepared by a grafting method. The effects of the adsorption capacity, pH and presence of NaCl, NaNO3, Na2SO4, and NaCO3 salts on the silicic acid removal ...

Differences in Prokaryotic Community Composition Between Two Climatically Contrasting Years in an Arctic Fjord Ecosystem. [PDF]
Seasonal dynamics of prokaryotic communities in Kongsfjorden were driven by contrasting hydrographic conditions in 2019 and 2020. Atlantification enhanced prokaryotic diversity and interactions in 2019, while sea ice and glacial runoff in 2020 reduced surface diversity and network complexity, underscoring Arctic prokaryotic sensitivity to environmental
