(2020)The authors of this essay (David Furbish, Douglas Jerolmack and Rachel Glade) offer an updated view of the state of affairs in the brickyard described in B. K. Forscher’s popular 1963 allegorical letter to Science, “Chaos ...

-
(2018)These files consist of topographic profile data, images from an acoustic hillslope experiment, and python codes to read the data and analyze the Fourier transforms of the profiles. There are four folders containing ...
-
(SCIENCE ADVANCES, 2019-06)Reconstructing Precambrian eukaryotic paleoecology is pivotal to understanding the origins of the modern, animal-dominated biosphere. Here, we combine new fossil data from southern Namibia with computational fluid dynamics ...
-
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 2017)Recent work has highlighted the significance of long-distance particle motions in hillslope sediment transport. Such motions imply that the flux at a given hillslope position is appropriately described as a weighted ...
-
(Frontiers In Ecology And Evolution, 2022-12-20)Studies of Rancho La Brea predators have yielded disparate dietary interpretations when analyzing bone collagen vs. enamel carbonate-requiring a better understanding of the relationship between stable carbon isotopes in ...

(Earths Future, 2019-09)Food, energy, and water (FEW) are primary resources required for human populations and ecosystems. Availability of the raw resources is essential, but equally important are the services that deliver resources to human ...
-
(2020)We conducted two sets of experiments. The first set was aimed at demonstrating the basis for treating the proportion of energy extraction, βx, as a random variable. In the second set of experiments we launched particles ...
-
(Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019-08-09)Reconstructing sediment pathways in fluvial and deltaic systems beyond instrumental records is challenging due to a lack of suitable methods. Here we explore the potential of luminescence methods for such purposes, focusing ...
-
(Ecology and Evolution, 2019-10)Variation in intensity and targets of sexual selection on multiple traits has been suggested to play a major role in promoting phenotypic differentiation between populations, although the divergence in selection may depend ...
-
(Remote Sensing, 2019-08)Solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) has been empirically linked to gross primary productivity (GPP) in multiple ecosystems and is thus a promising tool to address the current uncertainties in carbon fluxes at ecosystem to ...
-
(Quaternary, 2019-03)Speleothem oxygen isotope records from the Caribbean, Central, and North America reveal climatic controls that include orbital variation, deglacial forcing related to ocean circulation and ice sheet retreat, and the influence ...
-
(Ecology and Evolution, 2019-05)Larval and adult mosquitoes mount immune responses against pathogens that invade their hemocoel. Although it has been suggested that a correlation exists between immune processes across insect life stages, the influence ...

(2020)In 2020, a young brickmaker (Kelsea Best) provides an update to B. K. Forscher's 1963 vision of the state of the scientific endeavor as a brickyard. As the brickyard becomes ever more chaotic, this essay calls on young ...
