Magnitude and timing of the Tiltill rockslide in Yosemite National Park, California
Yosemite National Park, California, is one of the best-documented sites of historical rockfalls and other rock slope failures; however, past work shows that this record does not capture the infrequent largest occurrences, prehistoric events orders of…
Phosphorus release and regeneration following laboratory lysis of bacterial cells
The availability of phosphorus limits primary production in large regions of the oceans, and marine microbes use a variety of strategies to overcome this limitation. One strategy is the production of alkaline phosphatase (APase), which allows…
Polluted white dwarfs reveal exotic mantle rock types on exoplanets in our solar neighborhood
Prior studies have hypothesized that some polluted white dwarfs record continent-like granitic crust—which is abundant on Earth and perhaps uniquely indicative of plate tectonics. But these inferences derive from only a few elements, none of which…
Subduction and exhumation slip accommodation at depths of 10–80 km inferred from field geology of exhumed rocks: Evidence for temporal-spatial localization of slip
Field relationships in the Franciscan Complex of California suggest localization of subduction slip in narrow zones (≤300 m thick) at the depths of ~10–80 km. Accretionary and non-accretionary subduction slip over the ca. 150 Ma of Franciscan history…
