Morphological and Mechanical Biomimetic Bone Structures (2016)
Journal Article
Parwani, R., Curto, M., Kao, A. P., Rowley, P. J., Pani, M., Tozzi, G., & Barber, A. H. (2017). Morphological and Mechanical Biomimetic Bone Structures. ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering, 3(11), 2761-2767. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsbiomaterials.6b00652

Cortical bone is an example of a mineralized tissue containing a compositional distribution of hard and soft phases in 3-dimensional space for mechanical function. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is able to describe this compositional and morphologic... Read More about Morphological and Mechanical Biomimetic Bone Structures.

The parameterisation of turbulence in the marine environment (2016)
Journal Article
Hardisty, J., & Jennings, R. (2017). The parameterisation of turbulence in the marine environment. Journal of Marine Engineering and Technology, 16(3), 114-120. https://doi.org/10.1080/20464177.2016.1260892

There are many problems in the fields of flow modelling around structures and tidal stream energy yield analysis which require a thorough understanding of the turbulent and time-averaged flow speeds in marine environments. In this paper we examine th... Read More about The parameterisation of turbulence in the marine environment.

The island of Seram, eastern Indonesia, experienced a complex Neogene history of multiple metamorphic and deformational events driven by Australia–SE Asia collision. Geological mapping, and structural and petrographic analysis has identified two main...

On the causes of mass extinctions (2016)
Journal Article

The temporal link between large igneous province (LIP) eruptions and at least half of the major extinctions of the Phanerozoic implies that large scale volcanism is the main driver of mass extinction. Here we review almost twenty biotic crises betwee... Read More about On the causes of mass extinctions.

Water column oxygen deficiency has been considered as a potent driver of the extinction of marine benthos, and is a main feature of marine environments in the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction. The record of Permian-Triassic anoxia is more...

©2016. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. The origin and provenance of the loess deposits of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) are still debated. In order to pinpoint the dust sources, surface samples from the piedmont of the Northeastern...

Globally, the Series 2 – Series 3 boundary of the Cambrian System coincides with a major carbon isotope excursion, sea-level changes and trilobite extinctions. Here we examine the sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy and carbon isotope record of this...

Timing and causes of North African wet phases during the last glacial period and implications for modern human migration (2016)
Journal Article

Timing and causes of North African wet phases during the last glacial period and implications for modern human migration. Scientific reports, 6(1), Article ARTN 36367. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep36367

We present the first speleothem-derived central North Africa rainfall record for the last glacial period. The record reveals three main wet periods at 65-61 ka, 52.5-50.5 ka and 37.5-33 ka that lead obliquity maxima and precession minima. We find add...

The Weber Deep—a 7.2-km-deep forearc basin within the tightly curved Banda arc of eastern Indonesia—is the deepest point of the Earth’s oceans not within a trench. Several models have been proposed to explain the tectonic evolution of the Banda arc i... Read More about Rolling open Earth's deepest forearc basin.
