Drivers of methane-cycling archaeal abundances, community structure, and catabolic pathways in continental margin sediments by Longhui Deng, Longhui Deng, Damian Bölsterli, Clemens Glombitza, Bo Barker Jørgensen, Hans Røy, Mark Alexander Lever, Mark Alexander Lever

“…While numerous studies have investigated communities of methane-cycling archaea in hydrocarbon seeps and sulfate–methane transition zones, less is known about how these archaea change from the seafloor downward throughout diffusion-dominated marine sediments. Focusing on four continental margin sites of the North Sea-Baltic Sea transition, we here investigate the in situ drivers of methane-cycling archaeal community structure and metabolism based on geochemical and stable carbon-isotopic gradients, functional gene (mcrA) copy numbers and phylogenetic compositions, and thermodynamic calculations. …”

«  Apocalypse Snow ». Enfrichement des stations de montagne et syndrome (de la bulle) climatique by Philippe Bachimon

“…Question qui a émergé dès le milieu du XXe siècle avec la fin du climatisme altitudinal du fait entre autres de la diffusion de la climatisation. L’apparition de cette dernière avait d'ailleurs déjà permis de délocaliser très tôt la patinoire, et à vrai dire presque tous les sports de glace, alors qu’ils représentèrent avec la neige l’une des deux assises des sports d’hiver, hors de la station vers la métropole émettrice de clientèle dès le début du XXe siècle. …”

Comprehensive characterization of pore structure in coal seams with abnormal gas emission in deep close range coal seam clusters by Anying YUAN, Xiaolu YANG, Junling HOU, Guangsheng FU

“…The abnormal areas have abnormally developed micropores in the coal body, relatively undeveloped small and medium-sized pores, and poor connectivity between adsorption pores and transition pores, indicating that the differences in gas migration are related to pore size distribution and pore connectivity; The abnormal coal body in the area is conducive to gas adsorption but not conducive to gas diffusion, and the initial velocity of gas release is higher, making it more prone to gas abnormal outburst or outburst accidents when affected by mining; The proportion of micropores in coal is negatively correlated with effective porosity, while the proportion of small and medium-sized pores is positively correlated with effective porosity. …”
