Facies architecture and depositional model for a fine-grained hybrid-energy delta: An example from the Upper Cambrian to Lower Ordovician Barik Formation, Central Oman
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Recognizing ancient deltas' depositional architecture is challenging due to the complex interplay of the fluvial, waves, and tidal processes. The integration of field-based sedimentological and trace fossils studies of the ...
Experimental warming differentially affects vegetative and reproductive phenology of tundra plants
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Rapid climate warming is altering Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystem structure and function, including shifts in plant phenology. While the advancement of green up and flowering are well-documented, it remains unclear ...
Climate Warming Consistently Reduces Grassland Ecosystem Productivity
(
Advanced Earth And Science
