The Influence of Hydrothermal Activity on the Li Isotopic Signature of Rivers Draining Volcanic Areas
Abstract We explore the geochemistry and the isotopic composition of lithium (δ7Li) of rivers draining volcanic islands (Guadeloupe, Iceland, Java, Martinique and Sao Miguel) with a specific focus on continental hydrothermal activity. Our...

Using High Performance Computing to Explore Large Complex Bioacoustic Soundscapes: Case Study for Right Whale Acoustics
Abstract This paper describes ongoing work to investigate the development of a complex system designed for extracting information from large acoustic datasets. The system, called DeLMA is based on integrating advanced machine learning with high...

Failure of Volcanic Slopes in Cold Regions and its Prediction
Abstract The aim of this study is to reveal failure mechanisms of volcanic slopes in cold regions and to propose a prediction method on the failure. To achieve the purposes of this study, a full scale-embankment and -cut slope, which was 5 m in...

Two steps forward, two steps back: The role of innovation in transforming towards community-based marine resource management in Solomon Islands
Abstract In many coastal nations, community-based arrangements for marine resource management (CBRM) are promoted by government, advocated for by non-government actors, and are seen by both as one of the most promising options to achieve sustainable ...

Impacts of aerosols on surface-layer ozone concentrations in China through heterogeneous reactions and changes in photolysis rates
Abstract We quantify the impacts of aerosols on distributions and concentrations of O3 over China through heterogeneous reactions and changes in photolysis rates using the global chemical transport model GEOS-Chem. Aerosols considered include...

Maxwell Velocity Distribution for a Stochastic Ensemble of Thermals in a Turbulent Convective Mixed-Layer: Kinetic Approach
Abstract In this paper, we develop a stochastic model of an ensemble of convective eddies that produces an equilibrium velocity distri- bution of thermals. In the model, mixed-layer thermals are assumed to possess identical buoyancy and are...

Probabilistic Aggregation of Individual Assessment Units in the U.S. Geological Survey National CO2 Sequestration Assessment
Abstract The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a probabilistic national assessment of CO2 storage resources in ∼200 storage assessment units (SAUs), and must present results at basin, regional, and national scales. To calculate combined resources ...

Hydrodynamic constraints on the evolution and ecology of planktic foraminifera
Abstract The origin and function of a biomineralised skeleton in many of the non-motile groups of plankton remains an open question. Morphological diversity within these groups has often been explained by its relevance to hydrodynamic behaviour,...

Experimental Study on Settlement Characteristics of Grading Particles in Debris Flow Slurry
Abstract Sedimentation characteristic of solid particle in debris flow slurry is a basic scientific question of debris flow dynamics. Debris flow slurry is made by cellulose and tap water, and then put solid particle in debris flow slurry to develop ...

Air Quality Data for Catania: Analysis and Investigation Case Study 2010–2011
Abstract This work analyses two years of air quality data for Catania, Sicily's second largest city, which has been monitoring air pol lution since 1992. In 2009, this monitoring network was substantially reduced from 17 to 5 monitoring stations in...

Decadal persistence of cycles in lava lake motion at Erebus volcano, Antarctica
Abstract Studies of Erebus volcano's active lava lake have shown that many of its observable properties (gas composition, surface motion and radiant heat output) exhibit cyclic behaviour with a period of ∼10 min. We investigate the multi-year...

Estimation of Tilted Solar Irradiation Using Artificial Neural Networks
Abstract Calculation of solar global irradiation on tilted planes from only horizontal global one is particularly difficult when the time step is small. We used an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to realize this conversion at an hourly and 10- min...

The Solar Map as a Knowledge Base for Solar Energy Use
Abstract Our existing urban environment has a significant potential to increase the use of renewable energy, mainly by using solar irradiation for heat and electricity. Quantification of the solar potential by means of a solar map is the first step...
