Expedition 391 Preliminary Report : Walvis Ridge Hotspot: drilling Walvis Ridge, Southeast Atlantic Ocean, to test models of ridge hotspot interaction, isotopic zonation, and the hotspot reference frame (2022)
Report
Widdowson, M., Sager, W., Hoernle, K., Höfig, T. W., Avery, A. J., Bhutani, R., …Tshiningayamwe, M. (2022). Expedition 391 Preliminary Report : Walvis Ridge Hotspot: drilling Walvis Ridge, Southeast Atlantic Ocean, to test models of ridge hotspot interaction, isotopic zonation, and the hotspot reference frame. International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP)

Hotspot tracks (quasilinear chains of seamounts, ridges, and other volcanic structures) provide important records of plate motions, as well as mantle geodynamics, magma flux, and mantle source compositions. The Tristan-Gough-Walvis Ridge (TGW) hotspo...

Diachronous end-Permian terrestrial ecosystem collapse with its origin in wildfires (2022)
Journal Article
Lu, J., Wang, Y., Yang, M., Zhang, P., Bond, D. P., Shao, L., & Hilton, J. (2022). Diachronous end-Permian terrestrial ecosystem collapse with its origin in wildfires. Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology, 594, Article 110960. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2022.110960

The Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction (PTME) is the greatest biodiversity crisis in Earth history and while the marine crisis is increasingly well constrained, the timing and cause(s) of terrestrial losses remain poorly understood. There have been sug... Read More about Diachronous end-Permian terrestrial ecosystem collapse with its origin in wildfires.

Volcanically-Induced Environmental and Floral Changes Across the Triassic-Jurassic (T-J) Transition (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, P., Lu, J., Yang, M., Bond, D. P., Greene, S. E., Liu, L., …Hilton, J. (2022). Volcanically-Induced Environmental and Floral Changes Across the Triassic-Jurassic (T-J) Transition. Frontiers in ecology and evolution, 10, Article 853404. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2022.853404

The End-Triassic Mass Extinction (ETME) saw the catastrophic loss of ca. 50% of marine genera temporally associated with emplacement of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). However, the effects of the ETME on land is a controversial topic.... Read More about Volcanically-Induced Environmental and Floral Changes Across the Triassic-Jurassic (T-J) Transition.

Correlating deformation events onshore and offshore in superimposed rift basins: The Lossiemouth Fault Zone, Inner Moray Firth Basin, Scotland (2022)
Journal Article
Tamas, A., Holdsworth, R. E., Underhill, J. R., Tamas, D. M., Dempsey, E. D., McCarthy, D. J., …Selby, D. (in press). Correlating deformation events onshore and offshore in superimposed rift basins: The Lossiemouth Fault Zone, Inner Moray Firth Basin, Scotland. Basin Research, https://doi.org/10.1111/bre.12661

The separation and characterisation of different deformation events in superim-posed basins can be challenging due to the effects of overprinting and/or fault reactivation, combined with a lack of detailed geological or geophysical data. This paper s... Read More about Correlating deformation events onshore and offshore in superimposed rift basins: The Lossiemouth Fault Zone, Inner Moray Firth Basin, Scotland.

Not all gravel deserts in northern China are sources of regionally deposited dust (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, Z., Bird, A., Zhang, C., & Dong, Z. (2022). Not all gravel deserts in northern China are sources of regionally deposited dust. Atmospheric Environment, 273, Article 118984. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2022.118984

Loess and dust deposits are the longest and best-preserved terrestrial record of climate changes available, and one of the most important records is the Chinese Loess Plateau. Ascertaining the provenance of the wind derived dust material is critical... Read More about Not all gravel deserts in northern China are sources of regionally deposited dust.

The first Cretaceous mammals described from India were recovered from the Naskal locality, on the southeastern edge of the Deccan Traps Volcanic Province (DTVP), where it is preserved between two basalt flows. Because the DTVP eruptions spanned the C... Read More about New mammals from the Naskal intertrappean site and the age of India's earliest eutherians.
