Journal Article
Qi, Y., Ju, Y., Tan, J., Bowen, L., Cai, C., Yu, K., Zhu, H., Huang, C., & Zhang, W. (2020). Organic matter provenance and depositional environment of marine-to-continental mudstones and coals in eastern Ordos Basin, China—Evidence from molecular geochemistry and petrology. International Journal of Coal Geology, 217, Article 103345. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2019.103345

Cyclothems, composed of interbedded mudstone, coal and sandstone layers, make up the Taiyuan and Shanxi Formations in the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian in North China under a marine-to-continental depositional environment. The cyclothems act as...

Hierarchical rose-petal surfaces delay the early-stage bacterial biofilm growth (2019)
Journal Article
Cao, Y., Jana, S., Bowen, L., Tan, X., Liu, H., Rostami, N., Brown, J., Jakubovics, N. S., & Chen, J. (2019). Hierarchical rose-petal surfaces delay the early-stage bacterial biofilm growth. Langmuir, 35(45), 14670-14680. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.9b02367

A variety of natural surfaces exhibit antibacterial properties; as a result significant efforts in the past decade have been dedicated towards fabrication of biomimetic surfaces that can help control biofilm growth. Examples of such surfaces include... Read More about Hierarchical rose-petal surfaces delay the early-stage bacterial biofilm growth.

Mineralogical evidence for multiple dust sources in an early Triassic loessite (2019)
Journal Article
Wilson, M., Hurst, A., Wilkins, A., Wilson, L., & Bowen, L. (2020). Mineralogical evidence for multiple dust sources in an early Triassic loessite. Sedimentology, 67(1), 239-260. https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.12641

Loessite present in a borehole into the Smith Bank Formation (early Triassic age, Central North Sea) differentiates five coeval source terranes for aerosol dust, three long distance sources and two local sources. All were active immediately following... Read More about Mineralogical evidence for multiple dust sources in an early Triassic loessite.

Coseismic ultramylonites: An investigation of nanoscale viscous flow and fault weakening during seismic slip (2019)
Journal Article
Pozzi, G., De Paola, N., Holdsworth, R. E., Bowen, L., Nielsen, S. B., & Dempsey, E. D. (2019). Coseismic ultramylonites: An investigation of nanoscale viscous flow and fault weakening during seismic slip. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 516, 164-175. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2019.03.042

Faults weaken during the propagation of earthquakes due to the onset of thermally-activated mechanisms, which vary depending on the rock type. Recent experimental work suggests that carbonate-hosted faults are lubricated by viscous flow in nano-granu...
