Tectonic processes play a key role in the global mercury (Hg) cycle on geological timescales, by mobilising Hg from deep Earth reservoirs to the surface. These natural fluxes also introduce a dynamic...

The PAGES-SISAL (Past Global Changes – Speleothem Isotope Synthesis and AnaLysis) team has created a new global database of cave monitoring data consisting of drip rates and drip water isotopes, and the modern carbonate precipitates that form from these drip waters (so called farmed carbonates, grown on artificial substrates). The preprint is now available for community comment at: The preprint is led by Pauline Treble (ANSTO, Australia):

This study shows that over 80% of Holocene glacier advances coincide with major eruptions, suggesting explosive volcanism could trigger long-lasting cooling through feedbacks involving the ocean, sea ...

Greenland’s rare earth element deposits may be among the world’s largest by volume.

Understanding past hydroclimate dynamics of the Eastern Mediterranean is crucial for predicting future climate impacts. However, the ‘Marmara Transiti…

Abstract. Changing hydrology impacts the biogeochemical cycling of elements such as mercury (Hg), whose transport and transformation in the environment appear linked to hydroclimate on diverse timesca...

The dynamics of Earth’s largest, most voluminous eruptions (≥ 100 km3 ejecta; VEI 7) are poorly understood. Here, we explore the question of whether these very large eruptions can be treated as scaled...

Fire shapes ecological dynamics across many regions of Africa today and plays a critical role in the maintenance of grass dominated (savannah) ecosyst…
