Benthos response following petroleum exploration in the southern Caspian Sea: Relating effects of nonaqueous drilling fluid, water depth, and dissolved oxygen
Abstract The effects of linear alpha olefin (LAO) nonaqueous drilling fluid on benthic macrofauna were assessed over a six year period at a southern Caspian Sea petroleum exploration site. A wide-ranging, pre-drilling survey identified a relatively...

The Iceland–Jan Mayen plume system and its impact on mantle dynamics in the North Atlantic region: Evidence from full-waveform inversion
Abstract We present a high-resolution S-velocity model of the North Atlantic region, revealing structural features in unprecedented detail down to a depth of 1300km. The model is derived using full-waveform tomography. More specifically, we minimise ...

Representative value of cross-fault in the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet block and case analysis of the 2016 Menyuan Ms6.4 earthquake
Abstract The equation for determining cross-fault representative value is calculated based on hanging wall and foot wall reference level surfaces. The cross-fault data reliability are analyzed base on the stability of reference datum and observation ...

Future Impacts of the Reforestation Policy on the amospheric parameters: a sensitivity study over Ireland
Abstract: The increase of temperature attributed to anthropogenic emissions is projected to continue in future climate scenarios. Several protocols and policies are being put in place in several European countries to reduce both emissions and impact ...

Cardiovascular and lung function in relation to outdoor and indoor exposure to fine and ultrafine particulate matter in middle-aged subjects
Abstract This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between exposure to airborne indoor and outdoor particulate matter (PM) and cardiovascular and respiratory health in a population-based sample of 58 residences in Copenhagen, Denmark. ...

Hydrochemistry and stable isotopes as tools for understanding the sustainability of minewater geothermal energy production from a ‘standing column’ heat pump system: Markham Colliery, Bolsover, Derbyshire, UK
Abstract The abandoned workings of the former Markham Colliery are still in the process of flooding. They are being exploited, via a ‘standing column’ heat pump arrangement in Markham No. 3 shaft, to produce thermal energy. From 2012, water was...

Geomorphic and shallow-acoustic investigation of an Antarctic Peninsula fjord system using high-resolution ROV and shipboard geophysical observations: Ice dynamics and behaviour since the Last Glacial Maximum
Abstract Detailed bathymetric and sub-bottom acoustic observations in Bourgeois Fjord (Marguerite Bay, Antarctic Peninsula) provide evidence on sedimentary processes and glacier dynamics during the last glacial cycle. Submarine landforms observed in ...

The Lower Jurassic Johansen Formation, northern North Sea – Depositional model and reservoir characterization for CO2 storage
Abstract The Lower Jurassic, Johansen Formation sandstone, located in the Northern North Sea, has been proposed as a reservoir candidate for CO2 storage by Norwegian authorities. The objective of this study is to evaluate the reservoir quality of...

Overview of 30years of research on solubility trapping in Chinese karst
Abstract Studies conducted over several decades have shown that solubility trapping in karst areas is an important component of the “missing carbon” in the global carbon cycle. Chinese researchers have taken advantage of their natural geography that ...

Surface and bottom temperature and salinity climatology along the continental shelf off the Canadian and U.S. East Coasts
Abstract A new hydrographic climatology has been created for the continental shelf region, extending from the Labrador shelf to the Mid-Atlantic Bight. The 0.2-degree climatology combines all available observations of surface and bottom temperature...
