Bimodality and regime behavior in atmosphere–ocean interactions during the recent climate change
Abstract Maximum covariance analysis (MCA) and isometric feature mapping (Isomap) are applied to investigate the spatio-temporal atmosphere–ocean interactions otherwise hidden in observational data for the period of 1979–2010. Despite an established ...

Data supporting the role of electric field and electrode material on the improvement of the ageing effects in hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells
Abstract Hydrogenated amorphous Si (aSi:H) solar cells are strongly affected by the well known Staebler–Wronski effect. This is a worsening of solar cell performances under light soaking which results in a substantial loss of cell power conversion...

Can conservation trump impacts of climate change on soil erosion? An assessment from winter wheat cropland in the Southern Great Plains of the United States
Abstract With the need to increase crop production to meet the needs of a growing population, protecting the productivity of our soil resource is essential. However, conservationists are concerned that conservation practices that were effective in...

Changes in radiocesium contamination from Fukushima in foliar parts of 10 common tree species in Japan between 2011 and 2013
Abstract Yearly changes in radiocesium (137Cs) contamination, primarily due to the Fukushima accident of March 2011, were observed in the foliar parts of 10 common woody species in Japan (Chamaecyparis obtusa, Cedrus deodara, Pinus densiflora,...

Inorganic constituents in surface runoff from urbanised areas in winter: the case study of the city of Brest, Belarus
Abstract The aim of this paper was to study the inorganic constituents of snow and snowmelt surface runoff in a case study of the city of Brest and to indicate components that could pose a threat to the environment. Samples of snow and snowmelt...

Red tides of the dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans associated with eutrophication in the Sea of Marmara (the Dardanelles, Turkey)⁎⁎This study contains the findings of various project such as ‘Turkish Scientific and Technical Research Council (TUBITAK, YDABAG, Project No: 101Y081)’ and ‘Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Scientific Research Projects (COMU, BAP, Project No: 2000/22)’. This study was presented as an oral presentation at a Workshop on Algal and Jellyfish Blooms in the Mediterranean and Black Sea organized by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) on 6–8 October 2010, Istanbul, Turkey. This study was also published as an abstract in the List of Documents and Abstracts of the Workshop.
Abstract This investigation focused on weekly variations in cell density and volume of the dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans between March 2001 and January 2004 in the Dardanelles. March–June and October–December periods were excessive bloom...

The chromium isotopic composition of seawater and marine carbonates
Abstract Chromium isotopes are fractionated during redox reactions and have the potential to provide a record of changes in the oxygenation levels of the oceans in the geological past. However, Cr is a trace metal in seawater and its low...

Pressurized groundwater systems in Lunae and Ophir Plana (Mars): Insights from small-scale morphology and experiments
Abstract Outflow channels on Mars reveal the past presence of water, possibly released from pressurized groundwater reservoirs. We aim to improve our understanding of such outflow systems in order to better constrain past hydrological conditions on...
