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)
(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, ... -
Geochemistry of macrofossil, bulk rock and secondary calcite in the Early Jurassic strata of the Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) drill core, Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales, UK
(Geological Society, 19 July 2021)The Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) core (Wales, UK) yielded a >1300 m long mudrock sequence that has excellent potential for establishing an integrated stratigraphic scheme for the entire Early Jurassic Epoch. Lithological ... -
First data on the expression of the Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary event in Bulgaria: Calcareous nannofossil and carbon isotope record
(Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 20 December 2020)We present the first combined calcareous nannofossil and stable isotope data (δ13C and δ18O) from the Kladorub section, NW Bulgaria, to study the local expression of the globally recognized Campanian-Maastrichtian Boundary ... -
Evidence of a South Asian proto‐monsoon during the Oligocene–Miocene transition
(American Geophysical Union (AGU) / Wiley, 4 September 2021)The geological history of the South Asian monsoon (SAM) before the Pleistocene is not well-constrained, primarily due to a lack of available continuous sediment archives. Previous studies have noted an intensification of ... -
River sediment geochemistry and provenance following the Mount Polley mine tailings spill, Canada: the role of hydraulic sorting and sediment dilution processes in contaminant dispersal and remediation.
(Elsevier BV, 9 September 2021)The failure of the Mount Polley tailings storage facility (TSF) in August 2014 was one of the largest magnitude failures on record, and released approximately 25 Mm3 of material, including c. 7.3 Mm3 of tailings into ...
