A baseline paleoecological study for the Santa Cruz Formation (late–early Miocene) at the Atlantic coast of Patagonia, Argentina
(Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2010-06)Coastal exposures of the Santa Cruz Formation (late-early Miocene, southern Patagonia, Argentina) between the Coyle and Gallegos rivers have been a fertile ground for recovery of Miocene vertebrates for more than 100 years. ... -

Air Pollution and Health - A Science-Policy Initiative.
(Annals of global health, 2019-12-16)Air pollution is a major, preventable and manageable threat to people's health, well-being and the fulfillment of sustainable development. Air pollution is estimated to contribute to at least 5 million premature deaths each ... -
An exceptionally well-preserved skeleton of Palaeothentes from the Early Miocene of Patagonia, Argentina: new insights into the anatomy of extinct paucituberculatan marsupials
(Swiss Journal of Palaeontology, 2014-07)© 2014, Akademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz (SCNAT). During the Cenozoic paucituberculatans were much more diverse taxonomically and ecomorphologically than the three extant genera of shrew-like marsupials. ... -

Auditory morphology and hearing sensitivity in fossil New World monkeys.
(Anatomical record (Hoboken, N.J. : 2007), 2010-10)In recent years it has become possible to investigate the hearing capabilities in fossils by analogy with studies in living taxa that correlate the bony morphology of the auditory system with hearing sensitivity. In this ... -
Beach and sea-cliff dynamics as a driver of long-term rocky coastline evolution and stability
(Geology, 2012)Rocky coastlines, with wave-battered headlands interspersed with calm sandy beaches, stir imaginations and aesthetic sensibilities the way few other landscapes do. Despite their prevalence (sea cliffs or bluffs are present ... -
Biogeography in deep time - What do phylogenetics, geology, and paleoclimate tell us about early platyrrhine evolution?
(Mol Phylogenet Evol, 2015-01)Molecular data have converged on a consensus about the genus-level phylogeny of extant platyrrhine monkeys, but for most extinct taxa and certainly for those older than the Pleistocene we must rely upon morphological evidence ... -

Boron and strontium isotopic characterization of coal combustion residuals: validation of new environmental tracers.
(Environ Sci Technol, 2014-12-16)In the U.S., coal fired power plants produce over 136 million tons of coal combustion residuals (CCRs) annually. CCRs are enriched in toxic elements, and their leachates can have significant impacts on water quality. Here ... -

(Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2000-12-01)© Copyright 2000 by the American Geophysical Union.We reconstructed three time series of last glacial-to-present deep-sea temperature from deep and intermediate water sediment cores from the western North Atlantic using ... -
Changes to the North Atlantic subtropical high and its role in the intensification of summer rainfall variability in the southeastern United States
(Journal of Climate, 2011-03-01)This study investigates the changes of the North Atlantic subtropical high (NASH) and its impact on summer precipitation over the southeastern (SE) United States using the 850-hPa geopotential height field in the National ... -
Climate adaptation and policy-induced inflation of coastal property value.
(PLoS One, 2015)Human population density in the coastal zone and potential impacts of climate change underscore a growing conflict between coastal development and an encroaching shoreline. Rising sea-levels and increased storminess threaten ... -
Climate and health impacts of US emissions reductions consistent with 2 °C
(Nature Climate Change, 2016-05)© 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited. All rights reserved. An emissions trajectory for the US consistent with 2 °C warming would require marked societal changes, making it crucial to understand the associated benefits. Previous ...
