• Igneous and sedimentary ‘limestones’: the puzzling challenge of an easy classification 

  Stoppa, F; Cirilli, S; Sorci, A; et al. (Geological Society, 2021)

  The vast majority of extrusive carbonatites are calcitic rocks which may be confused with sedimentary limestones, thus requiring a disambiguation criterion. Extrusive carbonatites are classified based on quantitative ...

• From Continent to Ocean: Investigating the Multi-Element and Precious Metal Geochemistry of the Paraná-Etendeka Large Igneous Province Using Machine Learning Tools 

  Lindsay, JJ; Hughes, HSR; Yeomans, CM; et al. (Geological Society of London / Frontiers Media, 4 October 2021)

  Large Igneous Provinces, and by extension the mantle plumes that generate them, are frequently associated with platinum-group element (PGE) ore deposits, yet the processes controlling the metal budget in plume-derived ...

• Marine temperatures underestimated for past greenhouse climate 

  Vickers, ML; Bernasconi, SM; Ullmann, CV; et al. (Nature Research, 27 September 2021)

  Understanding the Earth's climate system during past periods of high atmospheric CO2 is crucial for forecasting climate change under anthropogenically-elevated CO2. The Mesozoic Era is believed to have coincided with a ...

• Numerical simulation with a macroscopic CFD method and experimental analysis of wave interaction with fixed porous cylinder structures 

  Qiao, D; Mackay, E; Yan, J; et al. (Elsevier / International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress, 21 September 2021)

  Porous structures have been widely applied in the coastal and ocean engineering due to their wave energy dissipation mechanism. The macroscopic computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach where the quadratic pressure drop ...

• Million-year-scale alternation of warm-humid and semi-arid periods as a mid-latitude climate mode in the Early Jurassic (late Sinemurian, Laurasian Seaway) 

  Munier, T; Deconinck, JF; Pellenard, P; et al. (European Geosciences Union / Copernicus Publications, 21 July 2021)

  Clay mineral and stable isotope (C, O) data are reported from the upper Sinemurian (Lower Jurassic) of the Cardigan Bay Basin (Llanbedr-Mochras Farm borehole, northwestern Wales) and the Paris Basin (Montcornet borehole, ...
