Pelites (shales and mudstones) are arguably the most important rock type for interpreting metamorphism. Their significance derives from their widespre......
Knowledge of the global reservoir of submarine gas hydrates is of great relevance for understanding global climate dynamics, submarine geohazards, and......
Understanding the mechanism of selective extinction is important in predicting the impact of anthropogenic environmental changes on current ecosystems......
The tectonic affiliations and magma compositions that formed Earth's earliest crusts remain hotly debated. Previous efforts toward this goal have reli......
High-magnitude mass flows can have a pervasive geomorphological legacy, yet the shortterm response of valley floors to such intense disturbances is po......
High-threat explosive silicic eruptions commonly contain banded pumice, reflecting magma mingling in the conduit prior to or during eruption. Heteroge......
Prokaryotes, including bacteria, are a major component of both modern and ancient ecosystems. Although fossilized prokaryotes are commonly discovered ......
Spatial complexity impacts the resilience of river ecosystems by mediating processes that control the sources and sinks of sediment and organic materi......
Back-arc extension has been well documented in subduction plate tectonic regimes. How-ever, the reasons why back-arc extensions are associated with so......
A magnetotelluric (MT) study across the Red Lake greenstone belt of the western Supe-rior craton, Canada, images a 50-km-long north-dipping conductor ......
Submarine landslides are prevalent on the modern-day seafloor, yet an elusive problem is constraining the timing of past slope failure. We present a n......
Southeastern Texas (United States) recorded one of the largest flooding events in U.S. history during Hurricane Harvey (25-31 August 2017), mobilizing......
In the absence of detailed broad-scale studies, both spatially and temporally, the overall status (disturbed, recovering, or in decline) of many of th......
