TL;DR: In this paper, a life cycle assessment of slow pyrolysis biochar systems (PBS) in the UK for small, medium and large scale process chains and ten feedstocks was performed, assessing carbon abatement and electricity production.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a "break-even selling point" for biochar, accounting for costs from feedstock to soil application and revenues from electricity generation and gate fees.

TL;DR: In this article, receiver function results from new and legacy experiments were presented from the Afar depression and showed that the lower part of the lower crust has a thickness of 20-26 km outside the currently active rift segments and thins northward.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present measurements of spatial and temporal variability in deformation from the currently active 60km-long Dabbahu segment of the Red Sea rift in Afar, using satellite radar, global positioning system, and seismicity data sets, that capture emplacement of two ~10-kmlong, ~1-m wide dike intrusions in June and July 2006.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed comparison of the seismic characteristics of the seismically monitored dikes is presented with implications for dike intrusion processes and magmatic plumbing systems, and the authors interpret that faulting and graben formation above the dikes occurs hours after the passage of the dike tip, coincident with the onset of lowfrequency earthquakes.
