This article explores the importance of national governments and national-local relationships for scaling up local climate action to achieve global goals. From the Sustainable Development Goals to the New Urban Agenda to ...

Combining long-term measurements of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in the Yellow River (YR) (1981–2018) and river discharge (1981–2018) to the Bohai Sea (BS) with model-based estimates of nutrient delivery ...

The dinosaur–bird transition involved several anatomical, biomechanical, and physiological modifications of the theropod bauplan. Non-avian maniraptoran theropods, such as Troodon, are key to better understand changes in ...

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) global warming event at ∼56 million years before present changed catchment weathering and erosion. Increased chemical weathering of silicate minerals is thought to be an important ...

The temperature at Earth’s core-mantle boundary (CMB) is a key parameter to understand the dynamics of our planet’s interior. However, it remains poorly known, with current estimate ranging from about 3000 K to 4500 K and ...

The seismic wavefield, as recorded at the surface, carries information about the seismic source and Earth's structure along the seismic path, essential for the understanding of the interior of our planet. For 40 years ...

Superimposed on long-term late Paleocene–early Eocene warming (~59 to 52 million years ago), Earth’s climate experienced a series of abrupt perturbations, characterized by massive carbon input into the ocean-atmosphere ...

Since the acceptance of plate tectonics, the presence of calc-alkaline magmatic rocks has been recognized as evidence of subduction. But under specific geodynamic circumstances, subduction may occur without generating ...

Well-documented, high-resolution sedimentary sections are critical to our understanding of the often eventful evolution of semi-isolated basins that form during the final stages of continent–continent convergence, as ...

The International Union of Geological Sciences Executive Committee (IUGS EC) voted on 13 October 2021 to ratify a proposal for the Neogene subseries/subepochs to have formal status. They are now incorporated into a six-tiered ...
