Detailed paleontological and sedimentary analysis of the Phu Ngu Formation suggests it was deposited in a deeper marine forearc setting, below storm wave base, but with (at least intermittently) oxygenated sea‐bottom condit...

Aim This paper describes a set of integrative scenarios developed in the ALARM (Assessing LArge‐scale environmental Risks for biodiversity with tested Methods) project. The ultimate aim of ALARM was to develop and test methods and protocols for the assessment of large‐scale environmental risks to biodiversity and to evaluate mitigation options. Scenarios provide a tool for exploring such risks and the policy options to mitigat...
