A lower crustal perspective on the stabilization and reactivation of continental lithosphere in the western Canadian shield
… granulite facies assemblages preserved in Chipman domain mafic granulites. The intervening 650 m.y. of relative quiescence implies a period of lithospheric stability during which the granulites continued to reside in the deep crust. Disruption of the stable Archean craton at 1.9 Ga broadly …

X-ray Debye temperatures of solid neon
… Nicklow and Young, and eM by the method due to Chipman. The specimens were prepared and maintained in a specially designed rigidtail liquid helium cryostat, and the measurements were made with a unique four-circle x-ray diffractometer designed for use with this cryostat. The results show good …

Novel disturbance regimes in the Arctic: paleoecological perspectives on fire and thermo-erosion from Alaskan tundra
Anthropogenic warming is amplified in the northern high latitudes, and disturbance processes such as wildfire and thermo-erosion (i.e., ground subsidence transport of ice-rich sediments) have increased in frequency and magnitude in tundra ecoregions in recent decades. These novel disturbance …
