Oxygen escape from the Earth during geomagnetic reversals: Implications to mass extinction
Abstract The evolution of life is affected by variations of atmospheric oxygen level and geomagnetic field intensity. Oxygen can escape into interplanetary space as ions after gaining momentum from solar wind, but Earth's strong dipole field reduces ...

Stepped fans and facies-equivalent phyllosilicates in Coprates Catena, Mars
Abstract Stepped fan deposits and phyllosilicate mineralogies are relatively common features on Mars but have not previously been found in association with each other. Both of these features are widely accepted to be the result of aqueous processes, ...

Using ecological models to assess ecosystem status in support of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive
Abstract The European Union's Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) seeks to achieve, for all European seas, “Good Environmental Status” (GEnS), by 2020. Ecological models are currently one of the strongest approaches used to predicting and...

Investigating sources of ozone over California using AJAX airborne measurements and models: Assessing the contribution from long-range transport
Abstract High ozone (O3) concentrations at low altitudes (1.5–4 km) were detected from airborne Alpha Jet Atmospheric eXperiment (AJAX) measurements on 30 May 2012 off the coast of California (CA). We investigate the causes of those elevated O3...

Fish consumption patterns and hair mercury levels in children and their mothers in 17 EU countries
Abstract The toxicity of methylmercury (MeHg) in humans is well established and the main source of exposure is via the consumption of large marine fish and mammals. Of particular concern are the potential neurodevelopmental effects of early life...

Sedimentary facies and lithologic characters as main factors controlling hydrocarbon accumulations and their critical conditions
Abstract Taking more than 1000 clastic hydrocarbon reservoirs of Bohai Bay Basin, Tarim Basin and Junggar Basin, China as examples, the paper has studied the main controlling factors of hydrocarbon reservoirs and their critical conditions to reveal...

A window for plate tectonics in terrestrial planet evolution?
Abstract The tectonic regime of a planet depends critically on the contributions of basal and internal heating to the planetary mantle, and how these evolve through time. We use viscoplastic mantle convection simulations, with evolving core–mantle...

Combined material flow analysis and life cycle assessment as a support tool for solid waste management decision making
Abstract Material flow analysis (MFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) have both widely been applied to support solid waste management (SWM) decision making. However, they are often applied independently rather than conjointly. This paper presents an ...

Bayesian inference of uncertainty in freshwater quality caused by low-resolution monitoring
Abstract Regulatory, low temporal resolution monitoring of freshwater quality does not fully capture the frequency distributions of the requisite parameters, particularly those that are highly skewed and heavy-tailed. Hence the summary statistics...

The impact of green roof ageing on substrate characteristics and hydrological performance
Abstract Green roofs contribute to stormwater management through the retention of rainfall and the detention of runoff. However, there is very limited knowledge concerning the evolution of green roof hydrological performance with system age. This...

Modeling background radiation in Southern Nevada
Abstract Aerial gamma ray surveys are an important tool for national security, scientific, and industrial interests in determining locations of both anthropogenic and natural sources of radioactivity. There is a relationship between radioactivity...
