Late Holocene ice-flow reconfiguration in the Weddell Sea sector of West Antarctica
Abstract Here we report Late Holocene ice sheet and grounding-line changes to the Weddell Sea sector of West Antarctica. Internal radio-echo layering within the Bungenstock Ice Rise, which comprises very slow-flowing ice separating the fast-flowing...

Real-time Modelling of Tidal Current for Navigating Underwater Glider Sensing Networks
Abstract Ocean models that are able to provide accurate and real-time prediction of tidal current will improve the performance of glider navigation. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to compute a model for tidal current at higher resolution ...

Linkage Control Security Research of the Mechanical Smoke Exhaust System in Large Space Buildings
Abstract When the large space buildings are in the event of fire, the mechanical smoke exhaust system must start safely and reliably with the smoke spreading quickly. A former analysis to the linkage control of the mechanical smoke exhaust system...

The Application of High-Density Resistivity Method in Organic Pollution Survey of Groundwater and Soil
Abstract The groundwater and soil of Nanjing 1211 Chemical Plant were investigated by the method of high-density resistivity after the plant closure. The results show that there are high resistance anomaly areas of aquifer and soil between 17 and 45 ...

Polyphase inclusions in the Shuanghe UHP eclogites formed by subsolidus transformation and incipient melting during exhumation of deeply subducted crust
Abstract Ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) layered eclogites from the Shuanghe area, Dabie Mountains display the peak assemblage garnet, Na-rich omphacite (Jd60), and minor amounts of coesite, rutile, Si-rich phengite (Si=3.58p.f.u) and apatite. Zr-in-rutile ...

Centennial changes in water clarity of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea
Abstract Secchi depth is a valuable proxy for detecting long term changes in the water clarity of oceanic and coastal ecosystems. We analyse approximately 40 000 observations, which are available from ICES, from the Baltic Sea and the North Sea in...

Real Time Drought Forecasting System for Irrigation Management
Abstract In recent years frequent periods of water scarcity have enhanced the need to use water more carefully, even in European areas traditionally rich of water such as the Po Valley in northern Italy. In dry periods the problem of water shortage...

Urgent Computing of Storm Surge for North Carolina's Coast
Abstract Forecasting and prediction of natural events, such as tropical and extra-tropical cyclones, inland flooding, and severe winter weather, provide critical guidance to emergency managers and decision-makers from the local to the national...

Impact of Land-use Changes on Water Balance
Abstract Due to rapid population growth, Goseng catchment has been subjected to considerable land-use changes over the last decade. The main objective of this research is to find out the impact of land-use changes on the hydrological processes and...

Runtime Tracing of the Community Earth System Model: Feasibility Study and Benefits
Abstract The Community Earth System Model (CESM) is one of US's leading earth system modeling frameworks, which has decades of development history and was embraced by a large, active user community. In this paper, we first review the software...

Uncertainty theories applied to the analysis of CO2 plume extension during geological storage
Abstract We use the IRS (Independent Random Set) method to combine both aleatory and epistemic uncertainties in the prediction, by means of an analytical model, of CO2 plume extension during geological storage. While some model parameters can be...

Saturation states dependence of feldspar dissolution rate: Sensitivity to the timescale of geochemical processes on CO2 geological sequestration
Abstract For the long-term assessment of CO2 geological sequestration, the dissolution rate of feldspar was measured under various degrees of saturation based on observations of the time-course change of dissolved crystal surfaces on a nanoscale. We ...

Demonstration and Deployment of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in Australia
Abstract Thirteen CCS projects involving the capture and/or storage of carbon dioxide in Australia are currently proposed or underway. The projects range in maturity from Australia’s first storage project (the CO2CRC Otway Project) and the CSIRO Loy ...

Environmental Impact Study of a Power Plant with Carbon Capture and Storage near the UK Coast
Abstract This paper reports the results of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) of a hypothetical 400 MWe IGCC power plant fitted with CO2 capture technology and includes the transportation of CO2 via a high pressure pipeline to a geological...

Effect of capillary heterogeneity on buoyant plumes: A new local trapping mechanism
Abstract CO2 can be immobilized in an aquifer as a residual phase trapped by capillary forces. The “inject low and let rise” strategy of storing CO2 in d eep saline aquifers is one method to maximize residual trapping. The more uniform the...
