Remote sensing monitoring of land restoration interventions in semi-arid environments with a before–after control-impact statistical design
Abstract Restoration interventions to combat land degradation are carried out in arid and semi-arid areas to improve vegetation cover and land productivity. Evaluating the success of an intervention over time is challenging due to various...

An Epistemic-Deontic-Axiologic (EDA) agent-based energy management system in office buildings
Abstract In the UK, buildings contribute about one third of the energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Space heating and cooling systems are among the biggest energy consumers in buildings. This research aims to develop a novel Building Energy...

Channelling of hydrothermal fluids during the accretion and evolution of the upper oceanic crust: Sr isotope evidence from ODP Hole 1256D
Abstract ODP Hole 1256D in the eastern equatorial Pacific is the first penetration of a complete section of fast spread ocean crust down to the dike–gabbro transition, and only the second borehole to sample in situ sheeted dikes after DSDP Hole...

A pathway to circular economy: Developing a conceptual framework for complex value assessment of resources recovered from waste
Abstract The transition to a circular economy, where the value of resources is preserved in the technosphere, must be supported by policies and operational decision-making based on evidence. Existing methods used to provide this evidence (e.g. LCA,...

Perspectives on Chemical Oceanography in the 21st century: Participants of the COME ABOARD Meeting examine aspects of the field in the context of 40 years of DISCO
Abstract The questions that chemical oceanographers prioritize over the coming decades, and the methods we use to address these questions, will define our field's contribution to 21st century science. In recognition of this, the U.S. National...

Trend estimates of AERONET-observed and model-simulated AOTs between 1993 and 2013
Abstract Recently, temporal changes in Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) have been investigated based on model simulations, satellite and ground-based observations. Most AOT trend studies used monthly or annual arithmetic means that discard details of ...

Gas migration pathways, controlling mechanisms and changes in sediment acoustic properties observed in a controlled sub-seabed CO2 release experiment
Abstract Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a key technology to potentially mitigate global warming by reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial facilities and power generation that escape into the atmosphere. To broaden the usage of...

Optimization of pore-network characterization of a compacted clay material by TEM and FIB/SEM imaging
Abstract In clay-rich sedimentary rocks, the pore network is considered to play a key role in controlling transport properties. The pore size distribution (PSD) of clay-rich rocks, the geometrical features of the pore network, and the clay content...

Characteristics of evapotranspiration from a permafrost black spruce forest in interior Alaska
Abstract Here, the year 2011 characteristics of evapotranspiration and the energy budget of a black spruce forest underlain by permafrost in interior Alaska were explored. Energy balance was nearly closed during summer, and the mean value of the...

Did a submarine landslide contribute to the 2011 Tohoku tsunami?
Abstract Many studies have modeled the Tohoku tsunami of March 11, 2011 as being due entirely to slip on an earthquake fault, but the following discrepancies suggest that further research is warranted. (1) Published models of tsunami propagation and ...
