The East Pilbara Terrane is the archetypical granite-greenstone belt, the dome-like complexes of which were formed through three major magmatic events. These granite domes are comprised of metamorphosed granitic igneous rocks that exhibit a magmatic evolution from early tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite ...
Existing literature has identified three physical processes that contribute to the formation of atmospheric hot extremes: temperature advection (transport of air from climatologically warmer regions to colder regions14,15,16), adiabatic compression and subsequent warming in subsiding (descending) air17,18,...
Through the integrative study of rocks and the understanding of the processes that formed them, including the fossil record and our ability to date materials isotopically, we have built a concept of the evolution of the geosphere and the biosphere (see compendiums by Schopf1983; Canup and Righte...
especially in the tropics16,18,20. Here, we test the hypothesis that this variability results from our assumptions about the ice phase in clouds, or ice microphysics. When we no longer parameterize deep convection in storm-resolving simulations,...
2b). Whitley Bay is located in the Northumberland Trough, a 50 km wide, ENE-WSW trending, half graben which formed in response to the extensional reactivation of the Iapetus Suture during the mid to late Carboniferous (Chadwick et al., 1995; Chadwick and Holliday, 1991; Johnson, 1984). ...
It is axiomatic that successful colonisation by terrestrial biota can only take place in areas which become ice and snow free at some point during the year. There is a steep decrease in the size and frequency of exposed terrestrial ground suitable for colonisation with progression from the ...
This work reviews the long-term evolution of the atmosphere of Venus, and modulation of its composition by interior/exterior cycling. The formation and evolution of Venus’s atmosphere, leading to contemporary surface conditions, remain hotly debated topics, and involve questions that tie into many ...
filling and nick ligation, while possible DNA damage generated in the library-building process is repaired. The fifth and final purification step prepares the DNA library for sequencing. Note that LILAP is robust, as demonstrated by a similar amount of circular libraries across four biological ...
Based on these ratios three spectral units can be distinguished: Whitish material mainly distributed in the topographically high areas; bluish material adjacent to the bright-to-dark boundaries, and brownish material that correlates with the sand seas (Soderblom et al., 2007, Lorenz et al., 2006...
formed through history along the main stems of the world’s great rivers, covering initial, developing, and developed stages. We find that river economic belts characterized by basin-based regional integration can substantially upgrade their eco-efficiency through the harmonization of enhanced regional ...
