Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021

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.

Freshwater (paleo)tsunamis – a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
In freshwater systems (rivers and lakes), historical and recent tsunamis have been documented and their traces have been found in the geological record, but studies of paleotsunamis (prehistorical tsunamis) in such environ- ments are still ...

EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF MAJOR EARTHQUAKES ON EXCITING LONG PERIOD FREE-EARTH LITHOSPHERIC OSCILLATIONS, ATMOSPHERIC-IONOSPHERIC PERTRUBATIONS, AND FAR-FIELD TSUNAMI-LIKE WATER LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS [PDF]

open access: yesScience of Tsunami Hazards, 2020
The whole Earth resonates like a bell with normal modes of resonance at distinct frequencies. When extremely large earthquakes strike, the Earth’s free oscillations are excited.

Self‐Assembly of Organic–Inorganic Copolymers Toward Bio‐Inspired Cementitious Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Organic–inorganic copolymerization of calcium silicate hydrate and thioctic acid produces a self‐organized nanocomposite inspired by the disordered collagen–mineral architecture of trabecular bone. The resulting material combines a compressive strength above 300 MPa with intrinsic physical reprocessibility, retaining over 80% of its strength and energy

Engineering Large‐Grain Metal Halide Perovskite Films via Chemical Vapor Deposition for High‐Performance, Ultralow‐Noise Perovskite Photodetectors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Chemical vapor deposition produces large‐grain, phase‐pure CsPbBr3 films (grains up to 35 µm) with Drude‐like terahertz photoconductivity and twofold higher carrier mobility versus spin‐coated references. These microstructural advances translate into photodetectors with a detectivity of 8.4 × 1012 Jones, dark current below 1 pA cm−2, X‐ray sensitivity ...
