  Fluocerite as a precursor to rare earth element fractionation in ore-forming systems

  Experiments under simulated hydrothermal conditions suggest that the mineral fluocerite may serve as an intermediate phase that fractionates the rare earth elements in ore-forming systems.

  Southward shift of the global wind energy resource under high carbon dioxide emissions

  Wind power for energy generation is projected to decrease in northern mid-latitudes and increase in the tropics and Southern Hemisphere, suggests an analysis of climate model simulations utilizing an industry wind turbine power curve.

  Potentially exploitable supercritical geothermal resources in the ductile crust

  The brittle–ductile transition is thought to control crustal permeability. Laboratory experiments and model simulations show that permeability is also stress dependent and ductile granitic rocks may have enough permeability to host geothermal resources.
