Stratigraphy of the Anthropocene
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2011 The Anthropocene, an informal term used to signal the impact of collective human activity on biological, physical and chemical processes on the Earth system, is assessed using stratigraphic criteria. It is complex in time, space and process, and may be considered in terms of the scale, relative timing, duration and novelty of its ...

Seismogenic potential and tsunami threat of the strike-slip Carboneras fault in the western Mediterranean from physics-based earthquake simulations [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Strike-slip fault ruptures have a limited capacity to generate vertical deformation, and for this reason they are usually dismissed as potential destructive tsunami sources.

The Llandovery (Silurian) conodont species diversity on the Upper Yangtze Platform, South China [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014 Conodonts are one of the stratigraphically most important fossil groups in the Silurian Period. We examine the regional diversity dynamics of the Llandovery condonts on the Upper Yangtze Platform.
