Quantifying Near‐Surface Rock Strength on a Regional Scale From Hillslope Stability Models
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.American Association of Petroleum Geologists, 2020-07)
Rock strength is a fundamental property of earth materials that influences the morphology of landscapes and modulates feedbacks between surface processes, tectonics, and climate. However, rock strength remains challenging ...
A study of sustainable practices in the sustainability leadership of international contractors
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Routledge, 2020-07)
With an increasing global need for sustainable development, numerous world‐leading construction corporations have devoted significant efforts to implementing sustainable practices. However, few previous studies have shared ...
Synthesis, Elasticity, and Spin State of an Intermediate MgSiO3‐FeAlO3 Bridgmanite: Implications for Iron in Earth’s Lower Mantle
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2020-07)
Fe‐Al‐bearing bridgmanite may be the dominant host for ferric iron in Earth’s lower mantle. Here we report the synthesis of (Mg0.5Fe3+0.5)(Al0.5Si0.5)O3 bridgmanite (FA50) with the highest Fe3+‐Al3+ coupled substitution ...
Azimuthal Dependence of GNSS‐R Scattering Cross‐Section in Hurricanes
(PO.DAACWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2020-07)
Global Navigation Satellite System‐Reflectometry (GNSS‐R) measurements of the ocean surface are sensitive to roughness scales ranging from a few cms to several kms. Inside a hurricane the surface roughness changes drastically ...
The Survival of Mafic Magmatic Enclaves and the Timing of Magma Recharge
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2020-07-28)
Many intermediate to felsic intrusive and extrusive rocks contain mafic magmatic enclaves that are evidence for magma recharge and mixing. Whether enclaves represent records of prolonged mixing or syn‐eruptive recharge ...
Stasis of functionally versatile specialists
(ElsevierWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2020-07)
A classic hypothesis posits that lineages exhibiting long‐term stasis are broadly adapted generalists that remain well‐adapted despite environmental change. However, lacking constraints that steepen adaptive peaks and ...
Turbulence Power Spectra in Regions Surrounding Jupiter’s South Polar Cyclones From Juno/JIRAM
(Wiley, 2020-07)
We present a power spectral analysis of two narrow annular regions near Jupiter’s South Pole derived from data acquired by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper instrument onboard NASA’s Juno mission. In particular, our ...
The Impacts of Flood, Drought, and Turbidites on Organic Carbon Burial Over the Past 2,000 years in the Santa Barbara Basin, California
(Princeton University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2020-07)
Climate conditions and instantaneous depositional events can influence the relative contribution of sediments from terrestrial and marine environments and ultimately the quantity and composition of carbon buried in the ...
Comparative Analysis of the Vlasiator Simulations and MMS Observations of Multiple X- Line Reconnection and Flux Transfer Events
(Chapman & Hall/CRCWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2020-07)
The Vlasiator hybrid- Vlasov code was developed to investigate global magnetospheric dynamics at ion- kinetic scales. Here we focus on the role of magnetic reconnection in the formation and evolution of magnetic islands ...
Peaks of transportation CO2 emissions of 119 countries for sustainable development: Results from carbon Kuznets curve
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Routledge, 2020-07)
Transportation has significantly boomed energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Understanding and forecasting the dynamic statuses of transportation CO2 emissions is a necessary step before making strategies ...
