Validation of in situ Applicable Measuring Techniques for Analysis of the Water Adsorption by Stone
Abstract As the water adsorbing behaviour (WAB) of stone is a key factor for most degradation processes, its analysis is a decisive aspect when monitoring deterioration and past conservation treatments, or when selecting a proper conservation...

Impact of Arctic Oscillation on the East Asian climate: A review
Abstract The Arctic Oscillation (AO), which depicts a most dominant large-scale seesaw between the mid-latitudes and Arctic atmospheric mass, influences climate over Eurasia, North America, eastern Canada, North Africa, and the Middle East,...

Harnessing GPU Power from High-level Libraries: Eigenvalues of Integral Operators with SLEPc
Abstract We consider the approximation of eigenpairs of large-scale matrices arising from the discretization of integral operators with weakly singular function kernels. Efficient and fast solvers to numerically approximate the sought eigenpairs are ...

Compilation of geophysical, geochronological, and geochemical evidence indicates a rapid Mediterranean-derived submergence of the Black Sea's shelf and subsequent substantial salinification in the early Holocene
Abstract Our knowledge of rate and processes in which semi-enclosed environments alternate from lacustrine to marine is commonly limited because of the paucity of specific proxies for sea level and salinity. Here we investigate the timing, rate, and ...

A review of source term estimation methods for atmospheric dispersion events using static or mobile sensors
Abstract Understanding atmospheric transport and dispersal events has an important role in a range of scenarios. Of particular importance is aiding in emergency response after an intentional or accidental chemical, biological or radiological (CBR)...

A review of biomass potential and current utilisation – Status quo for 93 biogenic wastes and residues in Germany
Abstract The efficient use of biogenic by-products, residues and waste offers an extensive range of advantages. As well as fulfilling requirements of public services, intelligent “cascading” can tap alternative sources of carbon and play a key part...

A Laplacian-based algorithm for non-isothermal atomistic-continuum hybrid simulation of micro and nano-flows
Abstract We propose a new hybrid algorithm for incompressible micro and nanoflows that applies to non-isothermal steady-state flows and does not require the calculation of the Irving–Kirkwood stress tensor or heat flux vector. The method is...

Groundwater Deterioration: The Simultaneous Effects of Intense Agricultural Activity and Heavy Metals in Soil
Abstract Groundwater deterioration due to agricultural activity is mainly attributed to intense fertilization, groundwater overpumping and seawater intrusion being more pronounced in coastal areas. Irrigation return water is one of the main sources...

Estimating the frequency of volcanic ash clouds over northern Europe
Abstract Fine ash produced during explosive volcanic eruptions can be dispersed over a vast area, where it poses a threat to aviation, human health and infrastructure. Here, we focus on northern Europe, which lies in the principal transport...

The oceanic mass balance of copper and zinc isotopes, investigated by analysis of their inputs, and outputs to ferromanganese oxide sediments
Abstract The oceanic biogeochemical cycles of the transition metals have been eliciting considerable attention for some time. Many of them have isotope systems that are fractionated by key biological and chemical processes so that significant...

Effects of cloud condensate vertical alignment on radiative transfer calculations in deep convective regions
Abstract Effects of cloud condensate vertical alignment on radiative transfer process were investigated using cloud resolving model explicit simulations, which provide a surrogate for subgrid cloud geometry. Diagnostic results showed that the...

Mapping monthly rainfall erosivity in Europe
Abstract Rainfall erosivity as a dynamic factor of soil loss by water erosion is modelled intra-annually for the first time at European scale. The development of Rainfall Erosivity Database at European Scale (REDES) and its 2015 update with the...

Screening robust water infrastructure investments and their trade-offs under global change: A London example
Abstract We propose an approach for screening future infrastructure and demand management investments for large water supply systems subject to uncertain future conditions. The approach is demonstrated using the London water supply system. Promising ...
