For several decades geologists have been applying field, petrographic, and geochemical methods to study the diagenesis of limestones, dolomites, evaporites and sandstones. The most successful studies have integrated field and petrographic work with various geochemical methods. For most applications, the value of any one of the most commonly applied techniques has often been limited; however, when applied together they have proven very useful. Careful petrography has been the most important and reliable component of diagenetic studies.

A breach occurred within the perimeter embankment of the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility on August 4, 2014. The loss of containment was sudden and occurred without warning. An Independent Expert Engineering Investigation and Review Panel (IEEIRP or panel) was quickly commissioned by the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines. The IEEIRP consisting of Norbert Morgenstern (Chair), Stephen Vick, and Dirk van Zyl released their report on the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility Breach on January 30, 2015. <...>

It is not much to document the origin of bird flight. Strictly speaking, these specimens are not the entire body of evidence. There are, of course, other fossil birds, not to mention bats, pterodactyls, and insects that have a few things to say about bird flight. And there are living creatures, mathematical models, and aerodynamic theories to help us understand this amazing evolutionary accomplishment. Nonetheless, these seven specimens are crucial. They lie at the heart of complex debates that began with the discovery of the first specimen of Archaeopteryx more than 130 years ago and continue up until today. These few, special fossils have served as the basis for brilliant deductions, wild speculations, penetrating analyses, and amazing insights. They have revealed—and continue to reveal—not only the pathway through which birds and bird flight may have originated, but they also tell us much about the strengths and weaknesses of science and scientists. <...>
