Diffusion timescale conundrum in contact metamorphism: Oxygen isotope and trace element profiles in dolomite

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Lukas Baumgartner, Florence Bégué

Successful application of diffusion chronometry is based on detailed knowledge of diffusion parameters obtained from laboratory experiments, which also need to be upscaled to be applied to natural samples. While generally applicable, several examples of di ...

The SNP-Based Profiling of Montecristo Feral Goat Populations Reveals a History of Isolation, Bottlenecks, and the Effects of Management

Elia Vajana

The Montecristo wild goat is an endangered feral population that has been on the homonymous island in the Tuscan Archipelago since ancient times. The origins of Montecristo goats are still debated, with authors dating their introduction either back to Neol ...

Toward catchment hydro-biogeochemical theories

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Ilja van Meerveld, Li Li

Headwater catchments are the fundamental units that connect the land to the ocean. Hydrological flow and biogeochemical processes are intricately coupled, yet their respective sciences have progressed without much integration. Reaction kinetic theories tha ...

Contribution of 3D coupled hydrodynamic-ecological modeling to assess the representativeness of a sampling protocol for lake water quality assessment

Damien Bouffard, Frédéric Charles Soulignac, Robert Eduard Uittenbogaard

This study deals with the impact of spatio-temporal heterogeneities on the assessment of lake ecological status according to the European water framework directive (WFD). A method, based on three-dimensional coupled hydrodynamic and ecological modeling, is ...

Accelerating equilibrium isotope effect calculations. I. Stochastic thermodynamic integration with respect to mass

Jiri Vanicek, Konstantin Karandashev

Accurate path integral Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics calculations of isotope effects have until recently been expensive because of the necessity to reduce three types of errors present in such calculations: statistical errors due to sampling, path inte ...

A locally calibrated, late glacial Be-10 production rate from a low-latitude, high-altitude site in the Peruvian Andes

Katherine Colby Leonard

Well-dated records of tropical glacier fluctuations are essential for developing hypotheses and testing proposed mechanisms for past climate changes. Since organic material for radiocarbon dating is typically scarce in low-latitude, high-altitude environme ...

Crustal differentiation in the early solar system: Clues from the unique achondrite Northwest Africa 7325 (NWA 7325)

Philippe Gillet

The unique achondrite NWA 7325 is an unusual olivine gabbro composed chiefly of calcic plagioclase (An(85-93)), diopsidic pyroxene (En(50.1-54.0) Wo(44.8-49.3) Fs(0.6-1.3)), and forsteritic olivine (Fo(97)). It is Al and Mg-rich and Fe and Na-poor and disp ...

Two ancient human genomes reveal Polynesian ancestry among the indigenous Botocudos of Brazil

Jeffrey David Jensen

Summary Understanding the peopling of the Americas remains an important and challenging question. Here, we present 14C dates, and morphological, isotopic and genomic sequence data from two human skulls from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, part of one of ...

Arene ruthenium dichloro complexes containing isonicotinic ester ligands: Synthesis, molecular structure and cytotoxicity

Paul Joseph Dyson, Olivier Pierre Zava

A series of p-cymene ruthenium dichloro complexes containing isonicotinic ester ligands, [(arene) RuCl2NC5H4-4-COO-C6H4-p-O-(CH2)(n)-CH3] (n = 1: 1, n = 3: 2, n = 5: 3, n = 7:4, n = 9: 5, n = 11: 6, n = 13: 7, n = 15: 8), were prepared from p-cymene ruthen ...

Antibacterial Ag-ZrN surfaces promoted by subnanometric ZrN-clusters deposited by reactive pulsed magnetron sputtering

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Rosendo Sanjines, Oualid Baghriche

Ag-ZrN films were deposited on polyester by direct current pulsed magnetron sputtering (from now on DCMSP) in Ar + N-2 atmosphere. ZrN on the polyester surface interacts with Ag leading to Ag-ZrN films. These composite films were more active in Escherichia ...

Catchment travel time distributions and water flow in soils

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Ludovico Nicotina, Gianluca Botter

Many details about the flow of water in soils in a hillslope are unknowable given current technologies. One way of learning about the bulk effects of water velocity distributions on hillslopes is through the use of tracers. However, this paper will demonst ...

Carbonate sedimentation and effects of eutrophication observed at the Kalista subaquatic springs in Lake Ohrid (Macedonia)

Alfred Johny Wüest, Marco Matter

To date, little is known about the role of spring waters with respect to authigenic carbonate precipitation in a shallow lacustrine setting. Lake Ohrid, located in Southeastern Europe, is a large lake fed to over 50% by karstic springs of which half enter ...

Determination of biodiesel blending percentages using natural abundance radiocarbon analysis: Testing the accuracy of retail biodiesel blends

Jeremy Samuel Arey

Blends of biodiesel and petrodiesel are being used increasingly worldwide. Due to several factors, inaccurate blending of these two mixtures can occur. To test the accuracy of biodiesel blending, we developed and validated a radiocarbon-based method and th ...

Palaeoecological evidence for anthropogenic acidification of a kettle-hole peatland in northern Poland

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz

We studied the Holocene developmental history of a small kettle-hole peatland in northern Poland using radiocarbon dating and analyses of pollen, plant macrofossils, and testate amoebae with the aim to sort out the influences of climate change, autogenic s ...
