Submarine palaeoenvironments during Emeishan flood basalt volcanism, SW China : Implications for plume–lithosphere interaction during the Capitanian, Middle Permian (‘end Guadalupian’) extinction event

open access: yes, 2016
Plume-induced lithospheric uplift and erosion are widely regarded as key features of large igneous province (LIP) emplacement, as is the coincidence of LIP eruption with major extinction and oceanic anoxic events (OAE).

Integrative phylogenomics and morphology reveal the evolution and biogeography of Encephalartos (Zamiaceae)

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We aimed to conduct phylogenetic analyses of Encephalartos, a cycad genus endemic to Africa, using 3545 single‐copy nuclear genes extracted from transcriptome data, covering 64/65 of the recognized species, along with inference of divergence times using two secondary calibration points.

Cerebral and Peripheral Hemodynamics Across Wakefulness and NREM Sleep

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wake/sleep‐related changes in cerebral hemodynamic oscillations are well established, but similar changes in peripheral hemodynamics remain largely understudied. Moreover, how the relationship between cerebral and peripheral hemodynamics varies across sleep–wake states is not well understood, despite evidence that these oscillations in the low‐

Heat flow from the Earth interior as indicator of deep processes

open access: yesGeoresursy, 2018
The energy aspects of the problem of intraterrestrial heat transfer in various forms are discussed. Endogenous causes of conductive heat flow dispersion − radiogenic heat generation, tectonic movements and magmatism (volcanism), including its latent and ...

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Agnosticism about artificial consciousness

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
Could an AI have conscious experiences? Answers to this question should be based not on intuition, dogma or speculation but on solid scientific evidence. However, I argue such evidence is hard to come by and that the only justifiable stance is agnosticism.

FORMATION CONDITIONS OF AGATES [PDF]

open access: yesМинералогия, 2017
Agates are formed at various temperatures, which covers a wide range from those of basaltic and andesitic melts (above 1100 °С) to several tens of centigrade, but at rather low pressures. Their formation in liquid mafic magmas is indicated by correlation

Past-Forwarding Ancient Calamities. Pathways for Making Archaeology Relevant in Disaster Risk Reduction Research

open access: yesHumanities, 2017
Despite the alleged mastery of humans over nature, contemporary societies are acutely vulnerable to natural hazards. In interaction with vulnerable communities, these transform into catastrophes.
