Investigating the semiannual oscillation on Mars using data assimilation by Ruan, T, Lewis, N, Lewis, S, Montabone, L, Read, P

Improving InSAR elevation models in Antarctica using laser altimetry, accounting for ice motion, orbital errors and atmospheric delays by Zhou, Y, Zhou, C, Deng, F, E, D, Liu, H, Wen, Y

“…Compared to the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) InSAR-Based Antarctica Ice Velocity Map, ice velocity estimates from long-baseline interferogram and the new DEM have a smaller RMS error; this suggests that with the new DEM, baseline length is no longer a limiting factor for the accuracy of InSAR-based ice velocity mapping.…”

A trade‐off between latitude and elevation contributes to explain range segregation of broadly distributed cave‐dwelling spiders by Mammola, S, Hesselberg, T, Lunghi, E

“…This stems from the understanding that latitude and elevation are primary drivers affecting temperature variations on Earth's surface, and, in turn, that temperature plays a critical ecological role. …”

The eddy-driven jet and storm-track responses to boundary-layer drag: insights from an idealized dry GCM study by Mbengue, C, Woollings, T

“…Near-surface drag simulations with an Earth-like continental profile show how surface drag may facilitate tropical-extratropical teleconnections by modifying waveguides through changes in jet latitude. …”

Partitioning of trace elements between crystals and melts by Blundy, J, Wood, B

“…These data provide the cornerstone for geochemical models of the Earth and terrestrial planets. However, our understanding of how trace elements behave has not kept pace with the analytical advances. …”

Evolution and morphology of lycophyte root systems by Hetherington, A

“…<p>The evolution of plant roots transformed the Earth’s surface, engineering new ecosystems and environments, and providing the nutrient and water uptake, as well as anchorage necessary to support the first trees. …”

Authentic humanity in the theology of Paul Tillich and Karl Barth by Wan, M, Wan, Milton Wai-yiu

“…The study demonstrates that Earth's Christological objectivity and Tillich's existential concern complement each other, so that together they build up a more comprehensive understanding of God's salvific act in Christ and its transforming power in human experience than does either in its own. …”

Late Cenozoic volcanism and rates of active faulting in eastern Iran by Walker, RT, Gans, P, Allen, M, Jackson, J, Khatib, M, Marsh, N, Zarrinkoub, M

“…The chemistry of the volcanic rocks is typical of intracontinental melts with an overall signature similar to that of ocean island basalts. Inversion of rare earth element distributions suggests some melting has occurred at depths of ∼80 km, indicating the presence of a relatively thin lithosphere beneath eastern Iran, in agreement with recently published maps of lithospheric thickness derived from shear wave velocities. © 2009 The Authors Journal compilation © 2009 RAS.…”

Titan's winter polar vortex structure revealed by chemical tracers by Teanby, N, de Kok, R, Irwin, P, Osprey, S, Vinatier, S, Gierasch, P, Read, P, Flasar, F, Conrath, B, Achterberg, R, Bézard, B, Nixon, C, Calcutt, S

“…Some of the processes we see have analogues in Earth's polar vortex, while others are unique to Titan. …”

Cosmogenic gamma-rays and neutrinos constrain UHECR source models by van Vliet, A, Alves Batista, R, Hörandel, JR

“…These neutrinos and electromagnetic cascades are detected at Earth as isotropic extragalactic fluxes. The level of these fluxes can be predicted and used to constrain UHECR source models.…”

On the inverse problem for earthquake rupture: The Haskell-type source model by Das, S, Suhadolc, P

“…With the positivity of moment rate constraint, as long as the rupturing area is allowed to be larger than that in the forward problem, it is correctly found for the simple faulting model considered in this paper, provided that the rupture velocity and the Earth structure are known. If, however, the rupture front is constrained either to propagate more slowly or the rupturing area is taken smaller than that in the forward problem, we find that we are unable even to fit the accelerograms well. …”

Suppression of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation variability at increased CO2 by MacMartin, D, Zanna, L, Tziperman, E

“…Multidecadal variability in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is shown to differ significantly between the 4 × CO2 and preindustrial control simulations of the GFDL Earth System Model, version 2M (ESM2M) general circulation model (GCM). …”

Devolatilization of subducting slabs, part II: volatile fluxes and storage by Tian, M, Katz, R, Rees Jones, D, May, D

“…<p>Subduction is a crucial part of the long‐term water and carbon cycling between Earth's exosphere and interior. However, there is broad disagreement over how much water and carbon is liberated from subducting slabs to the mantle wedge and transported to island‐arc volcanoes. …”

Constraints on the distances and timescales of solid migration in the early solar system from meteorite magnetism by Bryson, JFJ, Weiss, B, Biersteker, J, King, A, Russell, S

“…Because WIS 91600 likely came to Earth from the asteroid belt, our recovered formation distance argues that this body previously traveled from ~10 au to 2–3 au, supporting the migration of asteroid-sized bodies throughout the solar system. …”

Structure-based analysis of the metal-dependent mechanism of H-N-H endonucleases. by Maté, M, Kleanthous, K

Abyssal hills: influence of topography on benthic foraminiferal assemblages by Stefanoudis, P, Bett, B, Gooday, A

“…Abyssal plains, often thought of as vast flat areas, encompass a variety of terrains including abyssal hills, features that constitute the single largest landscape type on Earth. The potential influence on deep-sea benthic faunas of mesoscale habitat complexity arising from the presence of abyssal hills is still poorly understood. …”
