"Tridentinosaurus antiquus represents one of the oldest fossil reptiles and one of the very few skeletal specimens with evidence of soft tissue preservation from the Cisuralian (Early Permian) of the Italian Alps. The preservation and appearance of the fossil have puzzled palaeontologists for decad...
"Ongoing climate change substantially alters snowfall patterns with severe but diverging consequences for global ski areas. A global assessment as well as the investigation of potential implications for mountain ecosystems is currently lacking. We quantify future trends in natural snow cover days u...
"We used a combined approach (lithofacies and palynology) and multivariate analyses to reconstruct the different depositional environments and changes in the plant communities throughout the middle to late Kungurian in the tropical Pangea. The late Paleozoic terrestrial biotas underwent changes und...
"Stratigraphic paleobiology uses a modern understanding of the construction of the stratigraphic record-from beds to depositional sequences to sedimentary basins-to interpret patterns and guide sampling strategies in the fossil record. Over the past 25 years, its principles have been established pr...
"Main conclusions Planktonic foraminiferal assemblages were generally able to track or endure temperature changes: as climate warmed or cooled, bio-indicated temperature also became warmer or cooler, although to a variable degree. At polar sites under warming and at equatorial sites under cooling, ...

"The Late Triassic macroplant fossil collections from Udine Province are unique but have only been partially studied so far. Here we provide an overview of the plant fossil assemblages from the Triassic of the Udine Province, stored at the Museo Friulano di Storia Naturale in Udine and at the Museo...
"During the 70-million-year span of the Cryogenian Snowball Earth glaciations, low ocean temperatures beneath global sea ice increased water viscosity up to fourfold. In the absence of adaptation, unicellular organisms living in this viscous environment were limited in their ability to move and acq...
"Sport and physical activity are seen as important drivers for social transformation and enablers of sustainable development, i.e., as important means of achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (WHO, 2018; United Nations, 2015). This is often concretized in relation to the special con...
Insights from the authors of the IPCC 6th Assessment Report on knowledge gaps and priorities for research
"As climate change impacts intensify globally in both frequency and magnitude, and with scientific consensus on what is yet to come if theworld fails to act, the imperative to step up our co...
