Journal ArticleDOI
Increased stray gas abundance in a subset of drinking water wells near Marcellus shale gas extraction
Robert B. Jackson,Avner Vengosh,Thomas H. Darrah,Nathaniel R. Warner,Adrian Down,Robert J. Poreda,Stephen G. Osborn,Kaiguang Zhao,Jonathan D. Karr +8 more
TL;DR: Overall, the data suggest that some homeowners living <1 km from gas wells have drinking water contaminated with stray gases, and distances to gas wells was the most significant factor for Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for an extraterrestrial impact 12,900 years ago that contributed to the megafaunal extinctions and the Younger Dryas cooling
Richard B. Firestone,Allen West,James P. Kennett,L. Becker,Ted E. Bunch,Zsolt Révay,Peter H. Schultz,Tamás Belgya,Douglas J. Kennett,Jon M. Erlandson,O. J. Dickenson,R. S. Harris,George Howard,Johan B. Kloosterman,P. Lechler,Paul Andrew Mayewski,J. Montgomery,Robert J. Poreda,Thomas H. Darrah,S. S. Que Hee,Alan R. Smith,A. Stich,W. Topping,James H. Wittke,Wendy S. Wolbach +24 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that one or more large, low-density ET objects exploded over northern North America, partially destabilizing the Laurentide Ice Sheet and triggering YD cooling, which contributed to end-Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions and adaptive shifts among PaleoAmericans in North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable compounds of helium and neon: he@c60 and ne@c60.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fullerenes, prepared via the standard method, on heating to high temperatures release 4He and 3He, and shown that the helium is inside and that there is no exchange with the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noble gases identify the mechanisms of fugitive gas contamination in drinking-water wells overlying the Marcellus and Barnett Shales
TL;DR: Using noble gas and hydrocarbon tracers, this work identifies eight discrete clusters of fugitive gas contamination in eight clusters of domestic water wells overlying the Marcellus and Barnett Shales, including declining water quality through time over the Barnett.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact Event at the Permian-Triassic Boundary: Evidence from Extraterrestrial Noble Gases in Fullerenes
TL;DR: Fullerenes from sediments at the PTB contain trapped helium and argon with isotope ratios similar to the planetary component of carbonaceous chondrites, implying that an impact event accompanied the extinction, as was the case for the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event about 65 million years ago.
