High-resolution lithostratigraphy and reconnaissance sedimentology of Changotaung structure, Chittagong Tripura fold belt, Bengal Basin, Bangladesh
(Nature Research, 2023-10-18)Unlike other structures in the vicinity of the Chittagong Tripura Fold Belt, the Changotaung anticline is one of Bangladesh's least explored structures. An attempt has been made for the first time to understand and document ... -
Land loss in the Mississippi River Delta: Role of subsidence, global sea-level rise, and coupled atmospheric and oceanographic processes
(Elsevier, 2023-02-05)The Mississippi River Delta in coastal Louisiana has suffered large-scale land loss during the historic period and is representative of a global phenomenon where low-elevation deltaic coasts are increasingly at risk because ... -
Berriasian–Valanginian Geochronology and Carbon-Isotope Stratigraphy of the Yellow Cat Member, Cedar Mountain Formation, Eastern Utah, USA
(MDPI, 2023-01-26)The Early Cretaceous Yellow Cat Member of the terrestrial Cedar Mountain Formation in Utah, USA. has been interpreted as a “time-rich” unit because of its dinosaur fossils, prominent paleosols, and the results of preliminary ... -
StraboTools: A Mobile App for Quantifying Fabric in Geology
(Geological Society of America, 2020-08)Quantification of field observations is an essential step in making them reproducible and shareable, but field geologists have few tools for quantifying field observations of important features such as foliation intensity, ... -
Pliocene–Pleistocene basin evolution along the Garlock fault zone, Pilot Knob Valley, California
(Geological Society of America, 2020-08-06)Exposed Pliocene–Pleistocene terrestrial strata provide an archive of the spatial and temporal development of a basin astride the sinistral Garlock fault in California. In the southern Slate Range and Pilot Knob Valley, ... -
Investigation of Geological Anomalies at Pile Foundation Location in Urban Karst Areas Using Single Borehole Radar
(MDPI, 2020-06-16)Karst geological anomalies at pile locations significantly affect the bearing capacity and construction safety of the piles, posing a significant challenge for urbanization. Borehole geophysical methods are required to ... -
Structure-From-Motion Photogrammetry of Antarctic Historical Aerial Photographs in Conjunction with Ground Control Derived from Satellite Data
(MDPI, 2020-12-23)A longer temporal scale of Antarctic observations is vital to better understanding glacier dynamics and improving ice sheet model projections. One underutilized data source that expands the temporal scale is aerial ... -
Assessment of Geological, Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Characteristics of a Proposed Waste Disposal Site: A Case Study in Khon Kaen, Thailand
(MDPI, 2020-03-18)Occasionally, a selected site suitable for landfill construction is severely protested against by locals. This issue can cause the proposed landfill to be relocated to an environmentally sensitive area. The proposed Khon ... -
A Three-Dimensional, Virtual Tour of the Johnston Geology Museum
(Geological Society of America, 2020-12) -
Eustatic, Climatic, and Oceanographic Influences on Geomorphology and Architecture of Isolated Carbonate Platforms: Miocene, Northwest Shelf, Australia
(GeoScienceWorld, 2020-12-17)The Miocene represents an interval of marked global change, and this evolution is reflected in carbonate platforms from this epoch. Seismic stratigraphic characterization of high-resolution (ca 60 Hz) 3D seismic data from ... -
A westerly wind dominated Puna Plateau during deposition of upper Pleistocene loessic sediments in the subtropical Andes, South America
(Nature Research, 2022-06-14)The Tafí del Valle depression (~27° S) in the eastern Andes of Argentina provides a record of late Pleistocene dust deposition in the subtropics of South America. We present large-n U-Pb geochronology data for detrital ... -
"Maybe this is just not the place for me:" Gender harassment and discrimination in the geosciences
(Public Library of Science, 2022-05-18)Rampant gender-based harassment and discrimination are recognized problems that negatively impact efforts to diversify science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. We explored the particularities of this ... -
Evolution of the central Garlock fault zone, California: A major sinistral fault embedded in a dextral plate margin
(Geological Society of America Bulletin, 2014) -
Fault slip in the central Mojave Desert region: Resolving discrepancies between geologic and geodetic slip rates in the Eastern California shear zone
(Geological Society of America Bulletin, 2017) -
Phylogenetic and structural diversity of aromatically dense pili from environmental metagenomes
(Wiley, 2019-11-07)Electroactive type IV pili, or e-pili, are used by some microbial species for extracellular electron transfer. Recent studies suggest that e-pili may be more phylogenetically and structurally diverse than previously assumed. ... -
Shifting microbial communities sustain multiyear iron reduction and methanogenesis in ferruginous sediment incubations
(Wiley, 2017-04-17)Reactive Fe(III) minerals can influence methane (CH4) emissions by inhibiting microbial methanogenesis or by stimulating anaerobic CH4 oxidation. The balance between Fe(III) reduction, methanogenesis, and CH4 oxidation in ... -
Maternal care in Mid-Cretaceous lagonomegopid spiders
(The Royal Society, 2021-09-15)Maternal care benefits the survival and fitness of offspring, often at a cost to the mother's future reproduction, and has evolved repeatedly throughout the animal kingdom. In extant spider species, this behaviour is very ... -
Dynamically Triggered Changes of Plate Interface Coupling in Southern Cascadia
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-10-23)In subduction zones, frictional locking on the subduction interface produces year-by-year surface deformation that is measurable with GPS. During the interseismic period of the earthquake cycle, lasting hundreds of years ... -
An Improved Analytical Solution for the Temperature Profile of Ice Sheets
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-01-11)The one-dimensional steady state analytical solution of the energy conservation equation obtained by Robin (1955, https://doi.org/10.3189/002214355793702028) is frequently used in glaciology. This solution assumes a linear ...
