Mercury cycling during the last glacial period in Arctic Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Russia

ABSTRACT Tectonic processes play a key role in the global mercury (Hg) cycle on geological timescales, by mobilising Hg from deep Earth reservoirs to the surface. These natural fluxes also introduce a dynamic component to the terrestrial Hg cycle that can interact with other envi...

Knowledge explosions: the evolution of ideas in volcanology in Western Europe from 1750–1925 and impacts on current practice

In this paper we explore some of the ways in which ideas on and around volcanic activity developed from the mid-18 th to early-20 th Centuries in western Europe. We focus on arguments around concepts relating to the formation of volcanic mountains and processes of eruption, and d...
