Science or fiction? What the anthropocene means for EPT [PDF]
, 2018 How should environmental political theorists deal with environmental science? The question has acquired a new urgency with the rise of the Anthropocene, a geological-cum-ecological concept received with skepticism by many political theorists.

The laurentian record of neoproterozoic glaciation, tectonism, and eukaryotic evolution in Death Vally, California [PDF]
, 2013 Neoproterozoic strata in Death Valley, California contain eukaryotic microfossils and glacial deposits that have been used to assess the severity of putative Snowball Earth events and the biological response to extreme environmental change.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Studies investigating paleopathologies in sauropods remain scarce despite their relative abundance in the fossil record. In this study we report new occurrence of paleopathological features, corresponding to a neoplasm found in a middle caudal vertebra (MCT.R.2120) of an advanced titanosaur from the Presidente Prudente Formation (Bauru Basin ...

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

Finite element method applied in mine pressure computation within the context of rock massif – support system interaction [PDF]
, 2019 Purpose. The analysis of the current underground mine workings, both those that are in operation and works located within the mining perimeters where activity was stopped, is leading directly to the problem of stability, i.e. safety. The aim of the paper

An analytical model for gas overpressure in slug-driven explosions:insights into Strombolian volcanic eruptions [PDF]
, 2012 Strombolian eruptions, common at basaltic volcanoes, are mildly explosive events that are driven by a large bubble of magmatic gas (a slug) rising up the conduit and bursting at the surface.

Cutting Through the Green: A Case for Grassland Archaeology Using UAV Multispectral Data
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Advances in low‐altitude remote sensing are needed to improve the effectiveness of archaeological prospection in the Netherlands. The geomorphological situation and land use history make applying various remote sensing and geophysical technologies particularly challenging.

Ground deformation and source geometry of the 30 October 2016 Mw 6.5 Norcia earthquake (Central Italy) investigated through seismological data, DInSAR measurements, and numerical modelling [PDF]
, 2018 We investigate the Mw 6.5 Norcia (Central Italy) earthquake by exploiting seismological data, DInSAR measurements, and a numerical modelling approach. In particular, we first retrieve the vertical component (uplift and subsidence) of the displacements ...

Opposing consensus science through scholarly practices: The role of claims maintenance
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines how three US‐based communities who oppose consensus science produce and disseminate scholarly‐like artifacts: pro‐life activists, Young Earth Creationists, and Anthropogenic Climate Crisis skeptics. Prior research shows that industry‐ or church‐backed advocacy campaigns often generate claims supported by these communities ...
