Open AccessSeismological expression of the iron spin crossover in ferropericlase in the Earth’s lower mantle
The two most abundant minerals in the Earth’s lower mantle are bridgmanite and ferropericlase. The bulk modulus of ferropericlase (Fp) softens as iron d-electrons transition from a high-spin to low-spin state,...

Open AccessThe misuse of colour in science communication
The accurate representation of data is essential in science communication. However, colour maps that visually distort data through uneven colour gradients or are unreadable to those with colour-vision deficien...

Open AccessA transdisciplinary and community-driven database to unravel subduction zone initiation
Subduction zones are pivotal for the recycling of Earth’s outer layer into its interior. However, the conditions under which new subduction zones initiate are enigmatic. Here, we constructed a transdisciplinar...

Open AccessConstraining shifts in North Atlantic plate motions during the Palaeocene by U-Pb dating of Svalbard tephra layers
Radioisotopic dating of volcanic minerals is a powerful method for establishing absolute time constraints in sedimentary basins, which improves our understanding of the chronostratigraphy and evolution of basi...
