Large earthquakes initiate chains of surface processes that last much longer than the brief
moments of strong shaking. Most moderate‐and large‐magnitude earthquakes trigger …

Organic-matter-rich shales are the main target rocks for unconventional oil and gas
exploration and development across the world. In China, shale-gas geological resources …

Salinity is a fundamental property of watermasses that is useful in paleoenvironmental and
paleoecological studies, yet the theory of application of geochemical proxies to paleosalinity …

In the coming years and decades, advanced space-and ground-based observatories will

Although marine productivity is a key parameter in the global carbon cycle, reliable
estimation of productivity in ancient marine systems has proven difficult. In this study, we …

As the search for Earth-like exoplanets gathers pace, in order to understand them, we need
comprehensive theories for how planetary atmospheres form and evolve. Written by two well …

Molecular oxygen (O2) is, and has been, a primary driver of biological evolution and shapes
the contemporary landscape of Earth's biogeochemical cycles. Although “whiffs” of oxygen …

The progressive oxygenation of the Earth's atmosphere was pivotal to the evolution of life,
but the puzzle of when and how atmospheric oxygen (O2) first approached modern levels …
