Assessing Volcanic Controls on Miocene Climate Change
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2022-01-18)The Miocene period saw substantially warmer Earth surface temperatures than today, particularly during a period of global warming called the Mid Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO; ∼17–15 Ma). However, the long‐term drivers ... -
Iron Exports From Catchments Are Constrained by Redox Status and Topography
(Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2022-01-18)Fe(III) hydroxides stabilize organic carbon (OC) and P in soils. Observations of rising stream Fe concentrations are controversially posited to result from a flushing of iron‐rich deeper soil layers or a decrease of competing ... -
Blaubeuren, Cloppenburg, and Machtenstein—Three recently recognized H‐group chondrite finds in Germany with distinct terrestrial ages and weathering effects
(Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2022-01-17)In the last 7 years, three meteorites (Blaubeuren, Cloppenburg, and Machtenstein) found in Germany were identified as chondrites. Two of these rocks had been recovered from the impact sites decades ago but were not considered ... -
Do tree species affect decadal changes in soil organic carbon and total nitrogen stocks in Danish common garden experiments?
(European Journal of Soil Science, 2021-12-23)Temperate forest soils are often considered as an important sink for atmospheric carbon (C), thereby buffering anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However, the effect of tree species composition on the magnitude of this sink is ... -
Tephra Deposition and Bonding With Reactive Oxides Enhances Burial of Organic Carbon in the Bering Sea
(Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2021-11-07)Preservation of organic carbon (OC) in marine sediments exerts a major control on the cycling of carbon in the Earth system. In these marine environments, OC preservation may be enhanced by diagenetic reactions in locations ... -
Increased petrogenic and biospheric organic carbon burial in sub‐Antarctic fjord sediments in response to recent glacier retreat
(Limnology and Oceanography, 2021-10-28)Fjords are recognized as hotspots of organic carbon (OC) burial in the coastal ocean. In fjords with glaciated catchments, glacier discharge carries large amounts of suspended matter. This sedimentary load includes OC from ... -
Direct Viscosity Measurement of Peridotite Melt to Lower‐Mantle Conditions: A Further Support for a Fractional Magma‐Ocean Solidification at the Top of the Lower Mantle
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-10-05)As evidenced by isotope geochemistry, the persistence of primitive reservoirs indicates that the earth's lower mantle is likely to be heterogeneous. Such heterogeneity could be a legacy from magma‐ocean (MO) solidification. ... -
Kinematics of Crystal Growth in Single‐Seal Syntaxial Veins in Limestone ‐ A Phase‐Field Study
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021-09-28)Building on recent developments in phase‐field modeling of structural diagenesis, we present an analysis of single‐seal syntaxial calcite vein microstructure in a variety of limestones. We focus on the effects of fracture ... -
Layer groups: Brillouin‐zone and crystallographic databases on the Bilbao Crystallographic Server
(Acta Crystallographica Section A, 2021-09-24)The section of the Bilbao Crystallographic Server (https://www.cryst.ehu.es/) dedicated to subperiodic groups contains crystallographic and Brillouin‐zone databases for the layer groups. The crystallographic databases ... -
Chemical Evolution of the Exceptional Arctic Stratospheric Winter 2019/2020 Compared to Previous Arctic and Antarctic Winters
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021-09-21)The winter 2019/2020 showed the lowest ozone mixing ratios ever observed in the Arctic winter stratosphere. It was the coldest Arctic stratospheric winter on record and was characterized by an unusually strong and long‐lasting ... -
Detrital apatite geochemistry and thermochronology from the Oligocene/Miocene Alpine foreland record the early exhumation of the Tauern Window
(Basin Research, 2021-09-15)The early exhumation history of the Tauern Window in the European Eastern Alps and its surface expression is poorly dated and quantified, partly because thermochronological and provenance information are sparse from the ... -
Papanin Ridge and Ojin Rise Seamounts (Northwest Pacific): Dual Hotspot Tracks Formed by the Shatsky Plume
(Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021-09-15)Although previous findings support an origin of the Shatsky Rise igneous plateau (Northwest Pacific) through interaction of a mantle plume with a mid‐ocean ridge triple junction, the evidence for the involvement of a mantle ... -
Shallow‐marine carbonate cementation in Holocene segments of the calcifying green alga Halimeda
(Sedimentology, 2021-09-15)Early‐diagenetic cementation of tropical carbonates results from the combination of numerous physico‐chemical and biological processes. In the marine phreatic environment it represents an essential mechanism for the ... -
Impacts of Drying and Rewetting on the Radiocarbon Signature of Respired CO2 and Implications for Incubating Archived Soils
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2021-09-14)The radiocarbon signature of respired CO2 (∆14C‐CO2) measured in laboratory soil incubations integrates contributions from soil carbon pools with a wide range of ages, making it a powerful model constraint. Incubating ... -
Assessing the robustness of carbonate‐associated sulfate during hydrothermal dolomitization of the Latemar platform, Italy
(Terra Nova, 2021-09-12)Carbonate‐associated sulfate (CAS) is an important proxy for reconstructing marine sulfur cycling throughout Earth's history. In order to assess the impact of carbonate neomorphism on δ34SCAS data, a mineralogical‐spatial ... -
Long‐Term Nitrate Trajectories Vary by Season in Western European Catchments
(Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2021-09-12)Human alteration of nutrient cycles has caused persistent and widespread degradation of water quality around the globe. In many regions, including Western Europe, elevated nitrate (NO3−) concentration in surface waters ... -
The Influence of Chemical and Mineral Compositions on the Parameterization of Immersion Freezing by Volcanic Ash Particles
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021-09-08)Volcanic ash (VA) from explosive eruptions contributes to aerosol loadings in the atmosphere. Aside from the negative impact of VA on air quality and aviation, these particles can alter the optical and microphysical ... -
Enhanced Late Miocene Chemical Weathering and Altered Precipitation Patterns in the Watersheds of the Bay of Bengal Recorded by Detrital Clay Radiogenic Isotopes
(Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 2021-09-06)The late Miocene was a period of declining CO2 levels and extensive environmental changes, which likely had a large impact on monsoon strength as well as on the weathering and erosion intensity in the South Asian Monsoon ... -
Water Isotopic Signature of Surface Snow Metamorphism in Antarctica
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-09-03)Water isotope ratios of ice cores are a key source of information on past temperatures. Through fractionation within the hydrological cycle, temperature is imprinted in the water isotopic composition of snowfalls. However, ... -
