Linking the future likelihood of large fires to occur on mountain slopes with fuel connectivity and topography
In the long run, ongoing climate change is expected to alter fuel production as well as the frequency and severity of fire weather, which may result...

A report on palaeontological excavations and sampling in mudrocks: some guidelines
More than 60% of the world’s sedimentary rocks are mudrocks (Potter et al.,
1980 ; Schieber,1998 ; Potter,2003 ; the term mudrock is favored here over...
