Lunar volcanism produced a transient atmosphere around the ancient Moon
Abstract Studies of the lunar atmosphere have shown it to be a stable, low-density surface boundary exosphere for the last 3 billion years. However, substantial volcanic activity on the Moon prior to 3 Ga may have released sufficient volatiles to...

Monitoring of event-based mobilization of hydrophobic pollutants in rivers: Calibration of turbidity as a proxy for particle facilitated transport in field and laboratory
Abstract Transport of many pollutants in rivers is coupled to mobilization of suspended particles which typically occurs during floods. Since the amount of total suspended solids (TSS) in rivers can be monitored by turbidity measurements this may be ...

3D geometry of a plate boundary fault related to the 2016 Off-Mie earthquake in the Nankai subduction zone, Japan
Abstract We used recent seismic data and advanced techniques to investigate 3D fault geometry over the transition from the partially coupled to the fully coupled plate interface inboard of the Nankai Trough off the Kii Peninsula, Japan. We found...

Temperature–time evolution of the Assynt Terrane of the Lewisian Gneiss Complex of Northwest Scotland from zircon U-Pb dating and Ti thermometry
Abstract The Lewisian Gneiss Complex of Northwest Scotland is a classic Precambrian basement gneiss complex. The Lewisian is divided into a number of terranes on the basis of structural, metamorphic and geochronological evidence. The most...

Developing an inverted Barrovian sequence; insights from monazite petrochronology
Abstract In the Himalayan region of Sikkim, the well-developed inverted metamorphic sequence of the Main Central Thrust (MCT) zone is folded, thus exposing several transects through the structure that reached similar metamorphic grades at different...

A worldwide evaluation of basin-scale evapotranspiration estimates against the water balance method
Summary Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a critical role in linking the water and energy cycles but is difficult to estimate at regional and basin scales. In this study, we present a worldwide evaluation of nine ET products (three diagnostic products,...

Investigation into engineering parameters of marls from Seydoon dam in Iran
Abstract The quality of designed structures embedded in rocks is strongly related to rock strength parameters of intact rock. Measuring different parameters from tests could be very expensive in designing phase of projects. Estimating some...

China's stressed waters: Societal and environmental vulnerability in China's internal and transboundary river systems
Abstract China is undergoing a rapid transition from rural to urban dominated economy. Economy is booming, social structures are changing, ecosystems are stressed, and sustainability is challenged. We analysed the socioeconomic and environmental...

Development of a Numerical Method to Specify the CO 2 Seepage Information in the Ocean
Abstract Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of the important solutions against the increase of CO2 emissions in the world. Especially, in Japan, CO2 storage under the seafloor gathers attention and is promoted to reach practical stage until...

Potential emissions of CO2 and methane from proved reserves of fossil fuels: An alternative analysis
Abstract Scientists have argued that no more than 275GtC (IPCC, 2013) of the world’s reserves of fossil fuels of 746GtC can be produced in this century if the world is to restrict anthropogenic climate change to ≤2°C. This has raised concerns about...
