TL;DR: In this article, an integrated study of mineral reaction textures, mineral chemistry and pseudosection modelling in the NCFKMASHTO system with the THERMOCALC technique constrains the P-T conditions of 9.4-10kbar and 870-900°C for the M2 stage, 6.3-6.6-kbar, and 4.5-5.2

TL;DR: In this paper, a new and revolutionary tectonic model was proposed to explain the distribution and exhumation of high pressure (HP)-ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks of the Dabie-Sulu Belt.

TL;DR: The findings provide evidence that ciliates generally have much higher rDNA copy numbers than other protists and fungi, which could lead to overestimation of the relative abundance of cilia in environmental samples when rDNA sequence-based methodologies are used and that the rDNA might not always evolve in a strictly concerted manner in ciliate species, which may raise problems in rDNA-based inference of species richness and phylogeny.

TL;DR: In this paper, the age of the subducting Pacific slab beneath East Asia using a high-resolution model of P-wave tomography and paleo-age data of ancient seafloor was studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, general relationship of riverine bicarbonate concentrations and fluxes as a function of drainage basin mineral content and runoff are examined using a database of the 25 largest rivers in the world.
