Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran [PDF]
West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.

On the Role of Sea Surface Temperature in the 16 April 2024 Rainstorm Over the United Arab Emirates
Abstract This study examines how anomalously high sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the Arabian Sea and surrounding gulfs contributed to the record‐breaking rainfall (250 mm day−1 ${\text{day}}^{-1}$) over the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on 16 April 2024, with the greatest impacts in Dubai, Al‐Ain, and Abu Dhabi.

How soil conditioners and planting methods influence the cost of seedling establishment
A high risk of plant failure in semiarid ecosystems requires restoration methods that mitigate environmental harshness while remaining economically viable. This study investigated the impact of planting methods and soil amendments on the survival and growth of Cercis griffithii, a keystone shrub of cultural significance, native to mountainous regions ...

ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.
