Abstract Surface ocean availability of the micronutrients iron and manganese influences primary productivity carbon cycling in ocean. Volcanic ash is rich manganese, but global supply these nutrients to oceans via deposition poorly constrained. Here, we use marine sediment-hosted composition data from ten volcanic regions, subaerial eruption volumes, estimate ash-driven nutrient fluxes. Using M...

A sequence stratigraphic study of terrigenous and carbonate rocks of the Infra Krol Formation and Krol Group in the Lesser Himalaya fold and thrust belt of northern India was undertaken as part of a broader investigation of the significance of carbon isotope data in Neoproterozoic successions. Eight regional stratigraphic discontinuities were traced over a distance of nearly 300 km, and interpr...

[1] Deformation of sedimentary rocks is widespread within Valles Marineris, characterized by both plastic and brittle deformation identified in Candor, Melas, and Ius Chasmata. We identified four deformation styles using HiRISE and CTX images: kilometer‐scale convolute folds, detached slabs, folded strata, and pull‐apart structures. Convolute folds are detached rounded slabs of material with al...

The susceptibility of reef-building corals to climatic anomalies is well documented and a cause of great concern for the future of coral reefs. Reef corals are normally considered to tolerate only a narrow range of climatic conditions with only a small number of species considered heat-tolerant. Occasionally however, corals can be seen thriving in unusually harsh reef settings and these are cau...

The Archean-Proterozoic transition marks a time of fundamental geologic, biologic, and atmospheric changes to the Earth system, including oxygenation atmosphere (termed Great Oxygenation Event; GOE), emergence continents above sea level. impacts GOE on Earth’s surface environment are imprinted geologic record, disappearance mass-independent fractionation sulfur isotopes (S-MIF). Temporally over...
