Stability of CO2-Brine Primary Drainage
Abstract A viscous unstable displacement can lead to viscous fingering and to enhanced channeling in rock heterogeneities. The viscous stability of the CO2-brine primary drainage process is therefore of major importance for CO2 sequestration in...

The Arctic Ocean carbon sink
Abstract We present observation based estimates of the transport of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) across the four main Arctic Ocean gateways (Davis Strait, Fram Strait, Barents Sea Opening and Bering Strait). Combining a recently derived velocity ...

Propagating uncertainty to estimates of above-ground biomass for Kenyan mangroves: A scaling procedure from tree to landscape level
Abstract Mangroves are globally important carbon stores and as such have potential for inclusion in future forest-based climate change mitigation strategies such as Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+). Participation in...

Ecological Properties of Vegetation Formations on Karst Terrains in the Central Taurus Mountains (Southern Turkey)
Abstract There is a strict relationship between the formation of karst topography, soils and vegetation on karst terrains. The Central part of Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey is rich in terms of topographical variety and karstic landforms. Karst ...

Assessing Atmospheric Variability using Kernel Principal Component Analysis
Abstract A popular methodology to filter seemingly chaotic atmospheric flow into an ordered set of modes of variability is to identify those patterns of geopotential height that occur often. Historically, understanding of the leading patterns or...

Residual Chlorine in the Extremities of the Drinking Water Distribution System: The Influence of Stochastic Water Demands
Abstract An all pipes network model with stochastic drinking water demand patterns (bottom-up) was used to study the difference in residual chlorine predictions compared to a transport model with one demand pattern (top-down). The results showed...

Research and Analysis of Combined Operational Mode of Solar Energy Hot Water Heating System and Sewage Source Heat Pump Units
Abstract Based on the test studies of solar hot water system and water source heat pump units combined heating system and its theory analyses, we discussed the IPLV and electricity consumption of each major equipment in the system under different...

Basal roughness of the Institute and Möller Ice Streams, West Antarctica: Process determination and landscape interpretation
Abstract We present a detailed analysis of bed roughness beneath Institute and Möller Ice Streams, west Antarctica, using radio-echo sounding data (RES) acquired in the austral summer of 2010/11. We assess roughness using a two-parameter approach...

Modelling of Far-field Pressure Plumes for Carbon Dioxide Sequestration
Abstract We apply both numerical modelling, by means of single-phase and two-phase models, and analytical calculation for estimation of far-field pressure buildup, considering a generic scenario of dipping aquifer and a site-specific scenario for...

The Effect of Various Pretreatment Methods on Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Kenaf Core Fibers for Sugar Production
Abstract In this study, oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and kenaf core fibers were converted into sugar for bioethanol production. Results of enzymatic hydrolysis showed that the untreated EFB and kenaf core fibers were hardly to be hydrolysed, in...

Micro- and nanobands in late Archean and Palaeoproterozoic banded-iron formations as possible mineral records of annual and diurnal depositions
Abstract The microbands in Precambrian banded-iron formations (BIFs) have been conjectured to record annual or even diurnal depositions. However, these bands have rarely been observed in high resolution at their true (micro) scale. Here, I suggest...

Lithological Controls on Matrix Permeability of Organic-rich Shales: An Experimental Study
Abstract This manuscript discusses the influence of lithological factors on matrix permeability of organic-rich shales, differing in porosity (3.0-16.6%), mineralogy, TOC content (1.8-14.2%) and maturity (0.5-2.4% VRr). The lowest porosity and...

Discrimination between landmine and mine-like targets using wavelets and spectral analysis
Abstract Landmine is an explosive apparatus hidden in or on the ground, which blows up when a person or vehicle passes over it. Egypt is one of the countries suffering due to the unexploded ordnance (UXO). Around 2 million UXO are present in the...
