Unravelling the complex meanings and origins of zisha teapots in the Ming and Qing dynasties by Gao, X

“…</p> <br> <p>By analysing the chemical, mineralogical, and geological properties of <em>zisha</em> clay and evaluating its cultural significance, commonly held assumptions about the uniqueness of this raw material are challenged. …”

Calcined bone provides a reliable substrate for strontium isotope ratios as shown by an enrichment experiment by Snoeck, C, Lee-Thorp, J, Schulting, R, de Jong, J, Debouge, W, Mattielli, N

“…<p><b>Rationale</b></p> Strontium isotopes (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) are used in archaeological and forensic science as markers of residence or mobility because they reflect the local geological substrate. Currently, tooth enamel is considered to be the most reliable tissue, but it rarely survives heating so that in cremations only calcined bone fragments survive. …”

Optimization of Financial Indicators in Shale-Gas Wells Combining Numerical Decline Curve Analysis and Economic Data Analysis by Soage, Andres, Juanes, Ruben, Colominas, Ignasi, Cueto-Felgueroso, Luis

“…We show that, to achieve a profitable investment in shale-gas with high certainty, it is necessary to place the wells in extremely good locations in terms of geological parameters (porosity) and to have exceptional fracturing technology (geometry) and fracture permeability. …”

Whence came these plants most foul? Phylogenomics and biogeography of Lowiaceae (Zingiberales) by Niissalo, Matti A., Gardner, Elliot M., Khew, Gillian S., Šída, Otakar, Poulsen, Axel Dalberg, Leong-Škornicková, Jana

“…The results are consistent with the geological history of Southeast Asia. In particular, the relatively early isolation between Indochina and Borneo could be explained by the presence of a sea barrier that developed 10–15 MYA, and the continuous movement of plant species between Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia could be explained by a land bridge that existed until c. 5 MYA. …”

Architectures of Microbiality: From Diatoms to Diatom Houses by Luo, Xuan

“…It investigates how unseen natural elements were disseminated, accumulated, and manifested into distinctly perceivable forms, revealing that the understanding of diatoms expanded from isolated, object-focused studies to a concern for environmental relationships and geological transitions. Filling the world was not some grand narrative of human will but the disorienting, puzzling, and even frightful everywhere-ness of microbiality. …”

Early Neoarchean geodynamic regime in the North China Craton: constraints from 2.7 Ga granitoids in the southern Jilin terrane by Liu, J, Zhang, H, Palin, RM, Liu, Z, Zhang, J, Cheng, C, Liu, X, Zhao, C

Deformation and its surface expression in stressed planetary materials by Seltzer, Cassandra

“…Chapter 2 finds that in partially molten rocky materials, microstructural melt aligns parallel to the maximum applied stress direction quickly over geological time, while crystallographic orientations require significant strain intervals to reset. …”

Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, RP, Rex, AJ, Norry, MJ

Ultramafic Alteration and the Cooling of Earth and Mars by Murray, Joshua

“…My work asks as many questions as it answers but tries to honestly portray the uncertainties associated with the application of quantitative methods in noisy, geologic systems. I hope that in trying to meaningfully constrain these processes I plant seeds of inquiry from which myself and others can one day make more concrete statements of the cause and effect between tectonics and climate.…”

Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 98

“…The problem is that lower oil revenues also affect industry, forcing operators to review their investment portfolios to focus on the best regimes and geological prospects.</p> <p>The region’s recent positive developments are taking place against a background where a large number of countries in the region (including Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guyana, and Suriname) have fallen out of favour with oil and gas investors, in some cases for a number of years. …”
