On the fate of pumice rafts formed during the 2012 Havre submarine eruption (2014)
Journal Article
Jutzeler, M., Marsh, R., Carey, R., White, J., Talling, P., & Karlstrom, L. (2014). On the fate of pumice rafts formed during the 2012 Havre submarine eruption. Nature Communications, 5, Article 3660. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms4660

Pumice rafts are floating mobile accumulations of low-density pumice clasts generated by silicic volcanic eruptions. Pumice in rafts can drift for years, become waterlogged and sink, or become stranded on shorelines. Here we show that the pumice raft...

Rhenium–osmium (Re–Os) geochronology of marine petroleum systems has allowed the determination of the depositional age of source rocks as well as the timing of petroleum generation. In addition, Os isotopes have been applied as a fingerprinting tool...

Sorption capacities and pore characteristics of bulk shales and isolated kerogens have been determined for immature, oil-window, and gas-window mature samples from the Lower Toarcian Posidonia shale formation. Dubinin–Radushkevich (DR) micropore volu... Read More about High-pressure methane adsorption and characterization of pores in Posidonia shales and isolated kerogens.

Potential use of heather, Calluna vulgaris, as a bioenergy crop (2014)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., & Clay, G. (2014). Potential use of heather, Calluna vulgaris, as a bioenergy crop. Biomass and Bioenergy, 64, 140-151. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biombioe.2014.03.007

Calluna vulgaris can and does grow in areas considered unsuitable for production of biomass crops. In the UK, Calluna vegetation is regularly controlled by burn management and if instead the lost biomass could be harvested would it represent a viable...

Articulated Wiwaxia from the Cambrian Stage 3 Xiaoshiba Lagerstätte (2014)
Journal Article
Yang, J., Smith, M., Lan, T., Hou, J., & Zhang, X. (2014). Articulated Wiwaxia from the Cambrian Stage 3 Xiaoshiba Lagerstätte. Scientific Reports, 4, Article 4643. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep04643

Wiwaxia is a bizarre metazoan that has been interpreted as a primitive mollusc and as a polychaete annelid worm. Extensive material from the Burgess Shale provides a detailed picture of its morphology and ontogeny, but the fossil record outside this...

How collision triggers backarc extension: Insight into Mediterranean style of extension from 3-D numerical models (2014)
Journal Article
Magni, V., Faccenna, C., van Hunen, J., & Funiciello, F. (2014). How collision triggers backarc extension: Insight into Mediterranean style of extension from 3-D numerical models. Geology, 42(6), 511-514. https://doi.org/10.1130/g35446.1

The formation and evolution of a backarc basin are linked to the dynamics of the subduction system. The opening of the central Mediterranean basins is a well-documented example of backarc extension characterized by short-lived episodes of spreading....

A model of potential carbon dioxide efflux from surface water across England and Wales using headwater stream survey data and landscape predictors (2014)
Journal Article

Measurements of CO2 partial pressures (pCO2) in small headwater streams are useful for predicting potential CO2 efflux because they provide a single concentration representing a mixture from different hydrological pathways and sources in the catchmen...

Assimilation of sediments embedded in the oceanic arc crust: myth or reality? (2014)
Journal Article

Arc magmas are commonly assumed to form by melting of sub-arc mantle that has been variably enriched by a component from the subducted slab. Although most magmas that reach the surface are not primitive, the impact of assimilation of the arc crust is...
