Carbon Leakage through the Terrestrial-aquatic Interface: Implications for the Anthropogenic CO2 Budget
Abstract This contribution reviews the role of the terrestrial-aquatic interface in the global carbon cycle. We highlight that carbon leakage through this interface has profound ramifications for the terrestrial carbon balance and for the...

The formation of sulfate, nitrate and perchlorate salts in the martian atmosphere
Abstract In extremely arid regions on Earth, such as the Atacama Desert, nitrate, sulfate and perchlorate salts form in the atmosphere and accumulate on the surface from dry deposition according to diagnostic evidence in their oxygen isotopes. Salts ...

New atmospheric composition observations in the Karakorum region: Influence of local emissions and large-scale circulation during a summer field campaign
Abstract In this work we provide an overview of short lived climate forcers (SLCFs) and carbon dioxide variability in the Karakorum, by presenting results deriving from a field campaign carried out at Askole (3015 m a.s.l., Pakistan Northern Areas), ...

Mercury in the Canadian Arctic Terrestrial Environment: An Update
Abstract Contaminants in the Canadian Arctic have been studied over the last twenty years under the guidance of the Northern Contaminants Program. This paper provides the current state of knowledge on mercury (Hg) in the Canadian Arctic terrestrial...

Simulating 2368 temperate lakes reveals weak coherence in stratification phenology
Abstract Changes in water temperatures resulting from climate warming can alter the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. Lake-specific physical characteristics may play a role in mediating individual lake responses to climate. Past...

Satellite remote sensing of chlorophyll a in support of nutrient management in the Neuse and Tar–Pamlico River (North Carolina) estuaries
Abstract The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission (EMC) has adopted as a water quality standard that chlorophyll a concentration should not exceed 40μg/L in sounds, estuaries and other slow-moving waters. In 1996, nutrient load...

Measurement and Statistic Analysis of Combustion Heat of Two Kinds of Household Spray Aerosols in China
Abstract High volatility makes it difficult to measure the combustion heat of spray aerosols’ content. However, calorific value is a precondition to grade the fire hazard classification of aerosol products according to UN Recommendations of the...

Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis – Towards a new paradigm
Abstract The amount of scientific literature on (Geographic) Object-based Image Analysis – GEOBIA has been and still is sharply increasing. These approaches to analysing imagery have antecedents in earlier research on image segmentation and use...

Mid- and long-term climate projections for fragmented and delayed-action scenarios
Abstract This paper explores the climate consequences of “delayed near-term action” and “staged accession” scenarios for limiting warming below 2°C. The stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations at low levels requires a large-scale...

Maximum likelihood estimates for positive valued dynamic score models; The DySco package
Abstract Recently, the Dynamic Conditional Score (DCS) or Generalized Autoregressive Score (GAS) time series models have attracted considerable attention. This motivates the need for a software package to estimate and evaluate these new models. A...

Oligocene to Lower Pliocene deposits of the Norwegian continental shelf, Norwegian Sea, Svalbard, Denmark and their relation to the uplift of Fennoscandia: A synthesis
Abstract This study provides the results of the first integrated study of Oligocene–Pliocene basins around Norway. Within the study area, three main depocentres have been identified where sandy sediments accumulated throughout the...

Influence of the physical environment on polar phytoplankton blooms: A case study in the Fram Strait
Abstract The Fram Strait is the main gateway for water, heat and sea-ice exchanges between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic. The complex physical environment results in a highly variable primary production in space and time. Previous regional ...
