Renne, Chair Professor Mark A. Richards Professor William A. Clemens Spring 2017 Resolving the timing of events around the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary Copyright 2017 by Courtney Jean Sprain Abstract Resolving the timing of events around the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary by Courtney Jean Sprain Doctor of Philosophy in Earth and Planetary Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Paul R. Renne, Chair Despite decades of study, the exact cause of the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (KPB) mass extinction remains contentious. Hypothesized scenarios center around two main environmental perturbations: voluminous (>106 km3) volcanic eruptions from the Deccan Traps in modern-day India, and the large impact recorded by the Chicxulub crater. The impact hypothesis has gained broad support, bolstered by the discoveries of iridium anomalies, shocked quartz, and spherules at the KPB worldwide, which are contemporaneous with the Chicxulub impact structure. However, evidence for protracted extinctions, particularly in non-marine settings, and paleoenvironmental change associated with climatic swings before the KPB, challenge the notion that the impact was the sole cause of the KPB mass extinction. Despite forty years of study, the relative importance of each of these events is unclear, and one key inhibitor is insufficient resolution of existing geochronology. In this dissertation, I present work developing a high-precision global chronologic framework for the KPB that outlines the temporal sequence of biotic changes (both within the terrestrial and marine realms), climatic changes, and proposed perturbations (i.e. impact, volcanic eruptions) using 40Ar/39Ar geochronology and paleomagnetism. This work is focused on two major areas of study: 1) refining the timing and tempo of terrestrial ecosystem change around the KPB, and 2) calibrating the geomagnetic polarity timescale, and particularly the timing and duration of magnetic polarity chron C29r (the KPB falls about halfway into C29r). First I develop a high-precision chronostratigraphic framework for fluvial sediments within the Hell Creek region, in NE Montana, which is one of the best-studied terrestrial KPB sections worldwide. For this work I dated 15 tephra deposits with ± 30 ka precision using 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, ranging in time from ~300 ka before the KPB to 1 Ma after. By tying these results to paleontological records, this work is able to constrain the timing of terrestrial faunal decline and recovery in addition to calibrating late Cretaceous and early Paleocene North American Land Mammal Ages biostratigraphy. To aid in global correlation, I next sought to calibrate the timing and duration of C29r. However, based on discrepancies noticed between a calculated duration for C29r, from new dates collected as part of this dissertation and previously published magnetostratigraphy for the Hell Creek region, and the duration provided within the Geologic Time Scale 2012, it became 1 clear that reliability of sediments from the Hell Creek as paleomagnetic recorders was suspect. To test this claim, a complete characterization of the rock magnetic properties of sediments from the Hell Creek region was undertaken. To aid characterization, a new test to determine the presence of intermediate composition titanohematite (Fe2-yTiyO3; 0.5 ≤ y ≤ 0.7) was developed. Results from rock magnetic characterization show that sediments from the Hell Creek should be reliable paleomagnetic recorders, so long as care is taken to remove goethite (a secondary mineral that previous magnetostratigraphic studies in the Hell Creek did not remove), and to avoid samples that have been heated above ~200ºC. With the knowledge that sediments from the Hell Creek region are reliable magnetic recorders, I collected 14 new magnetostratigraphic sections, and 18 new high-precision 40Ar/39Ar dates which together provide constraints on the timing and duration of chron C29r, at unprecedented precision. This work enables correlation of our record in the Hell Creek to other KPB records around the globe, in addition to providing a test of the Paleocene astrochronologic timescale. 2 Table of Contents List of Tables ................................................................................................................................ iii List of Figures ............................................................................................................................... iv Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................................... x Chapter 1.

    IN THIS ISSUE April 20, 2021 When stimulated, each electrocyte of the electric eel can generate 150 mV via ion transportation through highly selective ion channels on cell membranes. ENGINEERING Printable power inspired by eels Printed energy storage devices can provide power to wearable devices. Lu Yang et al. used electric eels, which rely on sodium and potassium ion gradients to generate currents, for inspiration in developing alternatives to haz- ardous components in batteries. The authors developed two inks from graphene oxide, a permeable material with enhanced conductivity of positively charged ions. The two inks differed in their concentrations of potassium cations. Silver electrodes were also printed onto the paper. When moisture was introduced, reduction and oxidation of the silver produced a current, and potassium ions moved within the 2D nanofluidics in the graphene oxide, generat- ing 1.2 volts per cell. The silver electrodes also served to transform the ion migration into an electric current. When the authors printed 175 of these cells in a series, they gen- erated 192 volts of electricity. In the absence of moisture, such as in a vacuum bag, the voltage was zero. Using this approach, the authors created a 3D cell. According to the authors, the performance of the power source is similar to lithium thin-film batteries and could aid the development of wearable electronics. — T.H.D.

  • Annual Report 2018 2
    SAPIENCE CENTRE FOR EARLY SAPIENS BEHAVIOUR UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN ANNUAL REPORT 2018 2 STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD As chair of the board, it has been truly exciting to observe the progress of SapienCE through 2018. At this early stage, the project is already delivering important scientific results, a solid list of publications and attracted world-wide publicity. The University of Bergen and The Faculty of Humanities are naturally very proud hosts. Particularly, I would like to emphasise how impressive it is to see how the project has successfully brought together young, energetic talent and excellent established researchers in a truly cross-disciplinary and co-operative international group. This is a great achievement reached only because there is both a solid scientific core, yet also space for interpretation, imagination and vision. Of course, a project like this also requires a high degree of organization and administration. The administrative staff in different departments and at the faculty have done a great job in setting up the project and keeping it running. From the perspective of the university, it is of particular significance that the consortium of different institutions and departments manages to cooperate smoothly. I can report that the board meetings so far have proceeded in a positive and friendly manner. It is however no secret that CoE’s are sometimes known to pose challenges to institutional structures, and there will be room for differences and open discussions if such are needed in the future. My sincerest thanks go to everybody who has contributed to the impressive results of SapienCE in 2018.
