O_3_13 — Hydrothermal Vents: Black Smokers and Chemosynthetic Ecosystems

O_3_11 — Brine Pools and Extremophile Environments
Brine pools, hydrothermal vents, and other extreme environments on Earth harbor thriving communities of extremophile organisms — life forms adapted to conditions once considered utterly incompatible with biology: tempera

Limnic eruptions (also called "lake overturns") are rare but catastrophic events in which dissolved carbon dioxide (CO₂) erupts suddenly from deep lake water, forming a dense gas cloud that displaces oxygen and can asphy
O_5_03 — Wildfires, Fire Ecology, and Pyrogeography

O_5_05 — Ice Ages and Milankovitch Cycles: Orbital Forcing of Climate
Ice ages — periods when massive continental ice sheets expand to cover large portions of Earth's surface — are among the most dramatic climate events in the planet's history. The Quaternary glaciation (beginning ~2.6 mil
O_5_13 — Paleosols and Ancient Soils: Climate Records in Earth
