HERMES: a multi-agent framework for structured knowledge extraction from ultra-long documents in geoscience
Ziqi Song, Zongyuan Xiang, James G. Ogg +12
Authoritative scientific knowledge in geoscience remains largely trapped in legacy monographs and historical literature, where unstructured text and complex layouts hinder computat…
Supernova Triggers for End-Devonian Extinctions
Brian D. Fields, Adrian L. Melott, John Ellis +6
The Late Devonian was a protracted period of low speciation resulting in biodiversity decline, culminating in extinction events near the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary. Recent evi…
Does the Planetary Dynamo Go Cycling On? Re-examining the Evidence for Cycles in Magnetic Reversal Rate
Adrian L. Melott, Anthony Pivarunas, Joseph G. Meert +1
The record of reversals of the geomagnetic field has played an integral role in the development of plate tectonic theory. Statistical analyses of the reversal record are aimed at d…
Considering the Case for Biodiversity Cycles: Reexamining the Evidence for Periodicity in the Fossil Record
Bruce S. Lieberman, Adrian L. Melott
Medvedev and Melott (2007) have suggested that periodicity in fossil biodiversity may be induced by cosmic rays which vary as the Solar System oscillates normal to the galactic dis…
Fossil Biodiversity: Red Noise Plus Signal
Adrian L. Melott, Bruce S. Lieberman
We have examined the Fourier power spectrum as well as the Hurst exponent of extinction, origination, and total biodiversity in the marine fossil record, using a recently improved…
Did a gamma-ray burst initiate the late Ordovician mass extinction?
A. Melott, B. Lieberman, C. Laird +6
Gamma-ray bursts (hereafter GRB) produce a flux of radiation detectable across the observable Universe, and at least some of them are associated with galaxies. A GRB within our own…
