Elevated dissolved methane (CH4) concentrations in groundwater are an environmental concern associated with hydraulic fracturing for shale gas. Therefore, determining dissolved CH4 baselines is important for detecting and understanding any potential... Read More about A dynamic baseline for dissolved methane in English groundwater.

Lithosphere thickness controls the continental basalt compositions: An illustration using the Cenozoic basalts from eastern China (2019)
Journal Article
Guo, P., Niu, Y., Sun, P., Gong, H., & Wang, X. (2020). Lithosphere thickness controls the continental basalt compositions: An illustration using the Cenozoic basalts from eastern China. Geology, 48(2), 128-133. https://doi.org/10.1130/g46710.1

Recent studies demonstrate that lithosphere thickness variation exerts the primary control on global seafloor basalt compositions. If the mechanism of such control, i.e., the lid effect, is indeed at work, lithosphere thickness variation must also in...

Organic matter in the lacustrine Eocene Green River Formation in two cores separated by 16 km in the Uinta Basin record similar centimeter-scale initial 187Os/188Os (denoted as Osi) stratigraphic profiles. This demonstrates that the Os isotopic compo... Read More about Tracking drainage basin evolution, continental tectonics, and climate change: Implications from osmium isotopes of lacustrine systems.

Along arc heterogeneity in local seismicity across the Lesser Antilles subduction zone from a dense ocean-bottom seismometer network (2019)
Journal Article
Bie, L., Rietbrock, A., Hicks, S., Allen, R., Blundy, J., Clouard, V., …Wilson, M. (2020). Along arc heterogeneity in local seismicity across the Lesser Antilles subduction zone from a dense ocean-bottom seismometer network. Seismological Research Letters, 9(1), 237-247. https://doi.org/10.1785/0220190147

The Lesser Antilles arc is only one of two subduction zones where slow‐spreading Atlantic lithosphere is consumed. Slow‐spreading may result in the Atlantic lithosphere being more pervasively and heterogeneously hydrated than fast‐spreading Pacific l...

Several stalagmite records have yielded important but discontinuous insights into northern Iberian climate since the Last Glacial. Here we present the first continuous Iberian stalagmite-based reconstruction of climate since the Bølling-Allerød inter...

The Anisian (Middle Triassic) brachiopod fauna from Qingyan, Guizhou, south-western China (2019)
Journal Article

Like most of the benthos, brachiopods suffered huge losses in biodiversity during the end-Permian extinction and did not fully recover until the Anisian (Middle Triassic). Anisian brachiopod faunas are thus a key clade characterizing the recovered ma... Read More about The Anisian (Middle Triassic) brachiopod fauna from Qingyan, Guizhou, south-western China.

Optimizing geophysical muon radiography using information theory (2019)

Cosmic ray muons are highly penetrating, with some reaching several kilometres into solid rock. Consequently, muon detectors have been used to probe the interiors of large geological structures, by observing how the muon flux varies with direction of...

During continental collision, considerable amounts of buoyant continental crust subduct to depth and subsequently exhume. Whether various exhumation paths contribute to contrasting styles of magmatism across modern collision zones is unclear. Here we...
