    Description: Digitalisation has transformed the way we communicate and collaborate with friends, family, and colleagues. In a similar vein, digitalisation in industry – the so-called industry 4.0 – is expected to transform the way firms and their suppliers collaborate in global supply chains. Considering that 25 percent of global emissions in 2021 were generated by industry (IEA): Can industry 4.0 play a role in greening industrial supply chains? Researchers at the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) at the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam explored the opportunities and risks of digital supply chains for environmental sustainability. In short: sustainability does not simply occur as a by-product of digitalization. Firms should aim to increase sustainability levels in their supply chain – whether through digital or non-digital means.

    Description: The term “triple crisis” loomed large in 2022: The interlinking crises of the pandemic, the climate and energy crises, and the war in Ukraine took many people to their existential limits this past year. Geopolitically, we now face a fragmented world in which power relations are increasingly contested. This was evident at the Sharm el-Sheikh Climate Change Conference (COP 27) in November, where familiar lines of conflict shaped negotiations. Tensions between countries of the Global North and South, for example: Who bears how much responsibility for the climate change that is already occurring (not least of all financial responsibility!) and who (still) counts as a developing country and should be granted support? Debate also continues to rage around the exploitation and use of fossil fuels, which many countries wish to continue for as long as possible – even under the Paris Agreement.

    Description: In this paper, we anticipate geospatial population distributions to quantify the future number of people living in earthquake-prone and tsunami-prone areas of Lima and Callao, Peru. We capitalize upon existing gridded population time series data sets, which are provided on an open-source basis globally, and implement machine learning models tailored for time series analysis, i.e., based on long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, for prediction of future time steps. Specifically, we harvest WorldPop population data and teach LSTM and convolutional LSTM models equipped with both unidirectional and bidirectional learning mechanisms, which are derived from different feature sets, i.e., driving factors. To gain insights regarding the competitive performance of LSTM-based models in this application context, we also implement multilinear regression and random forest models for comparison. The results clearly underline the value of the LSTM-based models for forecasting gridded population data; the most accurate prediction obtained with an LSTM equipped with a bidirectional learning scheme features a root-mean-squared error of 3.63 people per 100 × 100 m grid cell while maintaining an excellent model fit (R2= 0.995). We deploy this model for anticipation of population along a 3-year interval until the year 2035. Especially in areas of high peak ground acceleration of 207–210 cm s−2, the population is anticipated to experience growth of almost 30 % over the forecasted time span, which simultaneously corresponds to 70 % of the predicted additional inhabitants of Lima. The population in the tsunami inundation area is anticipated to grow by 61 % until 2035, which is substantially more than the average growth of 35 % for the city. Uncovering those relations can help urban planners and policymakers to develop effective risk mitigation strategies.

    Description: Strategies for mitigating climate change today include plans for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through “Negative Emissions Technologies” (NETs). NETs create new opportunities for scientific research, technology development, and the development of financial products, but also new conceptual possibilities, for example of declaring one’s ambition to become “climate neutral.” NETs thus constitute a novel frontier in climate science and politics whose conditions of possibility, characteristics, and consequences can be studied by social scientists and humanists. For environmental sociologists, NETs pose numerous opportunities for engaging with questions around future-making, imaginaries, promises, expertise, markets, infrastructure, justice, publics, and generally, the shape and role of science and technology in a form of social life that is increasingly organized around “planetary” concepts.

    Description: CrossGov D2.1 EU and international policy landscape - Mapping EU policies and Green Deal objectives: general observations for policy coherence in the marine domain aims to provide a mapping of the European Green Deal policy landscape relevant to the marine domain and the CrossGov project. It also offers a general introduction into how policy coherence, embedded within the design of (selected) EU policies, supports or impedes progress towards the EGD’s objectives in the marine domain. A total of 36 policies were selected and mapped against five EGD strategies, namely the 2030 Climate Target Plan, the EU Climate Change Adaptation Strategy, the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the Zero Pollution Action Plan, and the Sustainable Blue Economy Strategy. These five strategies lay out a total of 25 specific objectives to implement the vision of the EGD, identified as relevant to the marine domain and the focus of the CrossGov project – i.e. climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.

    Description: As society's reliance on software systems escalates over time, so too does the cost of failure of these systems. Meanwhile, the complexity of software systems, as well as of their designs, is also ever-increasing, influenced by the proliferation of new tools and technologies to address intended societal needs. The traditional response to this complexity in software engineering and software architecture has been to apply rationalistic approaches to software design through methods and tools for capturing design rationale and evaluating various design options against a set of criteria. However, research from other fields demonstrates that intuition may also hold benefits for making complex design decisions. All humans, including software designers, use intuition and rationality in varying combinations. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of what is known and unknown from existing research regarding the use and performance consequences of using intuition and rationality in software design decision-making. To this end, a systematic literature review has been conducted, with an initial sample of 3909 unique publications and a final sample of 26 primary studies. We present an overview of existing research, based on the literature concerning intuition and rationality use in software design decision-making and propose a research agenda with 14 questions that should encourage researchers to fill identified research gaps. This research agenda emphasizes what should be investigated to be able to develop support for the application of the two cognitive processes in software design decision-making.

    Description: 〈title xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"〉Abstract〈/title〉〈p xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xml:lang="en"〉Vegetation classification is an essential prerequisite for understanding vegetation‐water relations at a range of spatial scales. However, in site‐specific applications, such classifications were mostly based on a single Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight, which can be challenging in grasslands and/or herbaceous‐dominated systems, as those communities are small in size and highly mixed. Here, we conducted monthly UAV flights for two years in a riparian wetland in Germany, with acquired imagery used for vegetation classification on a monthly basis under different strategies (with or without auxiliary information from other flights) to increase understanding in ecohydrology. The results show that multi‐flight‐based classification outperformed single‐flight‐based classification due to the higher classification accuracy. Moreover, improved sensitivity of temporal changes in community distribution highlights the benefits of multi‐flight‐based classification ‐ providing a more comprehensive picture of community evolution. From reference to the monthly community distribution, we argue that a combination of two or three flights in early‐ and late‐summer is enough to achieve comparable results to monthly flights, while mid‐summer would be a better timing in case only one flight is scheduled. With such detailed vegetation mapping, we further interpreted the complex spatio‐temporal heterogeneity in NDVI and explored the dominant areas and developmental progress of each community. Impacts from management (mowing events) were also evaluated based on the different responses between communities in two years. Finally, we explored how such vegetation mapping could help understand landscape ecohydrology, and found that the spatio‐temporal distribution of minimal soil moisture was related to NDVI peaks of local community, while grass distribution was explained by both topography and low moisture conditions. Such bi‐directional relationships proved that apart from contributing to an evidence base for wetland management, multi‐flight UAV vegetation mapping could also provide fundamental insights into the ecohydrology of wetlands.〈/p〉

Pseudotachylytes formed associated with high‐stress crystal plasticity (〈italic〉σ〈/italic〉〈sub〉〈italic〉d〈/italic〉〈/sub〉 > 400 MPa), as indicated by twinned amphiboles in gneisses. Mylonitic quartz clasts enclosed within deformed pseudotachylytes and mylonitic vein‐quartz, hosting folded pseudotachylyte injection veins, reflect creep at lower stresses (ca. 100 MPa) after seismic rupturing. Deformed pseudotachylytes can be crosscut by pristine pseudotachylytes, indicating a second, independent stage of coseismic rupturing after creep. The evidence of dynamic dislocation creep of quartz and the presence of stilpnomelane and epidote associated with all fault rocks indicate similar ambient greenschist facies conditions during all deformation stages. Whereas the intermediate stage of creep is interpreted to represent deformation at large distance to the propagating thrust tip, the pristine pseudotachylytes represent the last stage of rupturing eventually leading to nappe decoupling from its basement. Gneiss clasts in an ultramylonitic matrix (i.e., deformed pseudotachylyte) reveal that pseudotachylytes have a lower strength during creep in relation to the hosting gneisses. In contrast, during coseismic high‐stress crystal plasticity, the coarse gneisses accumulate a higher amount of strain. This strength‐relationship explains that only those rocks rupture, which have not been previously deformed before. The study demonstrates the importance of different strengths of crustal rocks at specific stress‐ and strain‐rate conditions in dependence on the distance to the propagating fault tip.〈/p〉

However, direct observations of loss were not possible on a number of previous missions due to the large field of view of the instruments and often high‐altitude orbits of satellites that did not allow researchers to isolate the precipitating electrons from the stably trapped. We use measurements from the ELFIN‐L suit of instruments flown on Lomonosov spacecraft at LEO orbit, which allows us to distinguish stably trapped from the drift loss cone electrons. The sun‐synchronous orbit of Lomonosov allows us to quantify scattering that occurred into the loss cone on the dawn‐side and the dusk‐side magnetosphere. The loss at MeV energies is observed predominantly on the dawn‐side, consistent with the loss induced by the chorus waves. The companion data publication provides processed measurements.〈/p〉
    Description: Plain Language Summary: There have been a number of models proposed concerning the loss of relativistic electrons from radiation belts. However, the direct observations of loss have been missing, as for most of the previous missions; the large aperture telescopes could not isolate the precipitating electrons from being stably trapped. In this study, we use measurements from ELFIN‐L on Lomonosov that allow for such separation and allow us to distinguish stably trapped from precipitating particles. We can also identify the particles that will be lost within one drift around the Earth, the so‐called drift loss cone. For understanding the loss processes and differentiating between them, it's crucially important to quantify where in local magnetic time these electrons will be scattered into the drift loss cone. Measurements from the ELFIN‐L instrument show that the loss at MeV energies is observed predominantly on the dawn side, consistent with the loss induced by the so‐called chorus plasma waves.〈/p〉

Through the interaction with the solar wind, a magnetosphere is created. Compared to the magnetosphere of Earth, Mercury's magnetosphere is smaller and more dynamic. To understand the magnetospheric structures and processes we use in situ MESSENGER data to develop further a semi‐empiric model of the magnetospheric magnetic field, which can explain the observations and help to improve the mission planning for the BepiColombo mission en‐route to Mercury. We present this semi‐empiric KTH22‐model, a modular model to calculate the magnetic field inside the Hermean magnetosphere. Korth et al. (2015, 〈ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://doi.org/10.1002/2015JA021022"〉https://doi.org/10.1002/2015JA021022〈/ext-link〉, 2017, 〈ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://doi.org/10.1002/2017gl074699"〉https://doi.org/10.1002/2017gl074699〈/ext-link〉) published a model, which is the basis for the KTH22‐model. In this new version, the representation of the neutral sheet current magnetic field is more realistic, because it is now based on observations rather than ad‐hoc assumptions. Furthermore, a new module is added to depict the eastward ring shaped current magnetic field. These enhancements offer the possibility to improve the main field determination. In addition, analyzing the magnetic field residuals allows us to investigate the field‐aligned currents and their possible dependencies on external drivers. We see increasing currents under more disturbed conditions inside the magnetosphere, but no clear dependence on the z‐component of the interplanetary magnetic field nor on the magnetosheath plasma 〈italic〉β〈/italic〉.〈/p〉

Several methods for detecting cold pools in simulations exist, but are usually based on buoyancy fields and fall short of reliably identifying the active gust front. The current cold pool (CP) detection and tracking algorithm (CoolDeTA), aims to identify cold pools and follow them in time, thereby distinguishing their active gust fronts and the “offspring” rain cells generated nearby. To accomplish these tasks, CoolDeTA utilizes a combination of thermodynamic and dynamical variables and examines the spatial and temporal relationships between cold pools and rain events. We demonstrate that CoolDeTA can reconstruct CP family trees. Using CoolDeTA we can contrast radiative convective equilibrium (RCE) and diurnal cycle CP dynamics, as well as cases with vertical wind shear and without. We show that the results obtained are consistent with a conceptual model where CP triggering of children rain cells follows a simple birth rate, proportional to a CP's gust front length. The proportionality factor depends on the ambient atmospheric stability and is lower for RCE, in line with marginal stability as traditionally ascribed to the moist adiabat. In the diurnal case, where ambient stability is lower, the birth rate thus becomes substantially higher, in line with periodic insolation forcing—resulting in essentially run‐away mesoscale excitations generated by a single parent rain cell and its CP.〈/p〉
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Cold pools are cooled air masses below thunderstorm clouds, produced when rain evaporates underneath such clouds. Cold pools are important, as they produce strong gusts and have been associated with clumping of rain cells, whereby heavy rainfall over relatively small areas could be generated—with implications for flooding. The current work describes a method that helps identify such cold pools in computer simulation data. In contrast to earlier methods, we here show that the interaction between a CP and its surroundings can be reconstructed by the method. We show that this identification works under a range of contexts, such as when horizontal wind is applied in the simulations or when the surface temperature is not constant—as might often be the case over a land surface. The identification reveals interesting dynamical effects, such as that in some cases, cold pools can kick‐start a form of chain reaction, by which “rain cell children” of it give rise to additional cold pools that again produce children, and so forth. The dynamics revealed is in line with expectations of widespread, so‐called mesoscale convective systems over land, whereas over an ocean surface the dynamics is much less explosive.〈/p〉

    Description: 〈title xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"〉Abstract〈/title〉〈p xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xml:lang="en"〉The seasonal deposition and sublimation of CO〈sub〉2〈/sub〉 constitute a major element in the Martian volatile cycle. Here, we propose to use the shadow variations of the ice blocks at the foot of the steep scarps of the North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD) to infer the vertical evolution of the seasonal deposits. We conduct an experiment at a steep scarp centered at (85.0°N, 151.5°E). We assume that no snowfall remains on top of the selected ice blocks, the frost ice layer is homogeneous around the ice blocks and their surroundings, and no significant moating is present. We show that the average thickness of the seasonal deposits due to snowfalls in Mars Year 31 is 0.97 ± 0.13 m at Ls = 350.7° in late winter. The large depth measured makes us wonder if snowfalls are more frequent and violent than previously thought. Meanwhile, we show that the average frost thickness in Mars Year 31 reaches 0.64 ± 0.18 m at Ls = 350.7° in late winter. Combined, the total thickness of the seasonal cover in Mars Year 31 reaches 1.63 ± 0.22 m at Ls = 350.7° in late winter, continuously decreases to 0.45 ± 0.06 m at Ls = 42.8° in middle spring and 0.06 ± 0.05 m at Ls = 69.6° in late spring. These estimates are up to 0.8 m lower than the existing Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter results during the spring. Meanwhile, we observe that snow in the very early spring of Mars Year 36 can be 0.36 ± 0.13 m thicker than that in Mars Year 31. This study demonstrates the dynamics of the Martian climate and emphasizes the importance of its long‐term monitoring.〈/p〉
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Like Earth, Mars also has seasons. Up to one third of the atmospheric CO〈sub〉2〈/sub〉 annually exchanges with the polar surface through seasonal deposition/sublimation processes. Deposition can be either atmospheric precipitation as snowfall or direct surface condensation as frost. At the steep scarps of the North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD), fractured ice fragments can detach and fall to form ice blocks. We propose to use variations in the shadows of these ice blocks, observed in the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment images, to infer the thickness evolution of the seasonal deposits. We make reasonable assumptions about the distribution of snowfall and frost around the ice blocks and their surroundings, which allow us to separately measure the thickness of snowfall and frost. Meanwhile, we introduce a novel approach that allows us to estimate the thickness of the seasonal deposits during late winter and early spring when image quality is insufficient. This approach also enables us to peer into the interannual thickness variations of snowfall. We carry out a successful experiment at a scarp centered at (85.0°N, 151.5°E). The obtained thickness measurements demonstrate the dynamics of the Martian volatile cycling and can be used to constrain the Martian climate models.〈/p〉

The relative synchronicity across Greenland, the North Atlantic and Europe implies a tight and fast coupling between those regions, most probably effectuated by an atmospheric transmission mechanism. In this study, we investigated the atmospheric changes during Greenland interstadial (GI) and stadial (GS) phases based on regional climate model simulations using two specific periods, GI‐10 and GS‐9 both around 40 ka, as boundary conditions. Our simulations accurately capture the changes in temperature and precipitation as reconstructed by the available proxy data. Moreover, the simulations depict an intensified and southward shifted eddy‐driven jet during the stadial period. Ultimately, this affects the near‐surface circulation toward more southwesterly and cyclonic flow in western Europe during the stadial period, explaining much of the seasonal climate variability recorded by the proxy data, including oxygen isotopes, at the considered proxy sites.〈/p〉
    Description: Plain Language Summary: The climate during the last ice age varied between colder and warmer periods on timescales ranging from hundreds to thousands of years. This variability was first detected in Greenland ice cores and marine sediment cores of the North Atlantic, as well as in continental geological records in Europe. The variation between the colder and warmer periods occur mostly simultaneously in Greenland and in Europe, which is why the atmosphere is assumed to have an important role in transferring the climate signals. We simulated two different periods of the last ice age, one colder and one warmer around 40,000 years ago, using a regional climate model. The aim was to study how the climate and atmospheric circulation changed during these two periods. We find the eddy‐driven jet over the North Atlantic intensified and shifted southward during the colder period. The jet influences the near‐surface atmospheric circulation and leads to more southwesterly and cyclonic flow in western Europe. Oxygen isotope variations observed in western European paleoclimate records may be partly explained by different, more southern moisture sources on top of changes in seasonal temperatures.〈/p〉

The data extracted from the zircons allow them to be grouped into three types: (a) young zircons (0–∼4 Ma) with 〈italic〉ε〈/italic〉Hf〈sub〉(〈italic〉t〈/italic〉)〈/sub〉 (∼5–13) and δ〈sup〉18〈/sup〉O (∼4–7) isotopic mantle signature with crystallization ages dating the islands, (b) zircons with 〈italic〉ε〈/italic〉Hf〈sub〉(〈italic〉t〈/italic〉)〈/sub〉 (∼5–13) and δ〈sup〉18〈/sup〉O (∼5–7) isotopic mantle signature (∼4–164 Ma) which are interpreted to date the time of plume activity below the islands (∼164 Ma is the minimum time of impingement of the plume below the lithosphere), and (c) very old zircons (∼213–3,000 Ma) with mostly continental (but also juvenile) 〈italic〉ε〈/italic〉Hf〈sub〉(〈italic〉t〈/italic〉)〈/sub〉 (∼−28–8) and δ〈sup〉18〈/sup〉O (∼5–11) isotopic values documenting potential contamination from a number of sources. The first two types with similar isotopic mantle signature define what we call the Galápagos Plume Array (GPA). Given lithospheric plate motion, this result implies that GPA zircon predating the Galápagos lithosphere (i.e., >14–164 Ma) formed and were stored at sublithospheric depths for extended periods of time. In order to explain these observations, we performed 2D and 3D thermo‐mechanical numerical experiments of plume‐lithosphere interaction which show that dynamic plume activity gives rise to complex asthenospheric flow patterns and results in distinct long‐lasting mantle domains beneath a moving lithosphere. This demonstrates that it is physically plausible that old plume‐derived zircons survive at asthenospheric depths below ocean islands.〈/p〉

    Description: In a regional study based upon a large set of sea-level data and meteorological data, the long-period variations in sea-level and the fluctuations of meteorological parameters have been investigated for the Norwegian coast. In the period range between 1 and 20 years, the sea-level is found to be dominated by a few distinct signals. The interaction between meteorological parameters and sea-level is discussed. The sea-level is found to respond to long-period air pressure variations as an inverse barometer. Most of the sea-level signals with periods between 1 and 5 years are at least partly due to similar signals in air pressure and/or wind stress. In the Chandler band, the meteorological parameters contain at least two distinct signals. The oceanic pole tide signal is masked by the atmospheric forcing of the sea-level. This leads to temporal variations in the apparent pole tide, which are uncorrelated with the temporal variations of the Chandler wobble. The air pressure corrected pole tide is still not an equilibrium tide, but the large deviations in phase from equilibrium may well be due to unaccounted effects of wind stress and temperature. The Chandler wobble in polar motion is important as the driving force of the pole tide. In an extensive numerical investigation, the simple and physically reasonable model of a single frequency, damped, harmonic oscillation, which is frequently excited at random times and with random amplitude is found to explain all features of the observed Chandler and annual wobbles. Comparing the results from the numerical investigations to the results from analyses of the polar motion gives strong evidence for the Chandler wobble period to be either 428.5± 1.0 days or 437.2±0.8 days and not the usually assumed period of ≈434 days. No final decision can be made which of the two periods is the true Chandler period, though the shorter one is favoured by several facts. The signals in meteorological parameters can all be related to the variations in sunspot numbers. A non-linear response of the atmosphere to the annual solar forcing, which is modulated by the sunspot cycles explains the observed frequency patterns. The excess of the observed sunspot effects in surface air temperature over those predicted from simple climate models by a factor of 10 indicates the existence of strong positive feedback mechanisms, which are responsible for the signals in air pressure and wind stress, too. The 18.6-year nodal tide lags the equilibrium tide by 0.8 radian, while the amplitudes exceed the equilibrium amplitudes by a factor of 3 to 5. At most parts of the coast, the nodal modulation of the amplitude of the fortnightly lunar tide Mf also lags the equilibrium modulation by 0.5 to 0.7 radian. The amplitude of the nodal modulation is close to equilibrium, except for Oslo and Bergen. At the latter stations, resonance effects may modify the modulation. Mf itself is found to have an amplitude of two to three times the equilibrium amplitude and a phase lag of slightly more than π. Determining the land uplift at the Norwegian coast from the trend in sea-level leads to a varying pattern of isolines, with the land uplift gradient being perpendicular to the general direction of the coast line, and being rather large at parts of the coast. At most parts of the coast, the zero line is further out in the sea than given on other published charts.
    Description: Die vorliegende Arbeit über langperiodische Variationen des Meeresspiegels entlang der norwegischen Küste basiert auf umfangreichen Datensätzen von Meeresgezeiten und Meteorologie. Alle verwendeten Meeresgezeitendaten lagen als Stundenstützstellen vor, die nach sorgfältiger Fehlersuche auf monatliche Mittelwerte reduziert wurden. Die längsten Meeresgezeiten-Registrierungen an der norwegischen Küste sind für Oslo und Bergen verfügbar, wo die Zeitreihen das Intervall von 1914 bis 1985 umfassen. Für sieben Stationen lagen Registrierungen von 1952 bis 1985 vor, und für jeweils weitere 2 Stationen waren Registrierung für die Zeiträume von 1961 bis 1985 bzw. von 1970 bis 1985 verfügbar. Die meteorologischen Daten standen an drei Station für die längeren Zeiträume von 1952 bis 1983 (Oslo und Bergen) bzw. von 1957 bis 1975 (Narvik ) zur Verfügung, und für 15 Stationen waren die Daten für den kürzeren Zeitraum von 1970 bis 1984 vorhanden. Dabei ist der Luftdruck mit einem Stützstellenabstand von drei Stunden registriert worden, während die übrigen Parameter (Windgeschwindigkeit und -richtung, Lufttemperatur) mit einem Stützstellenabstand von 6 Stunden vorliegen. Auch hier wurden aus den Daten monatliche Mittelwerte berechnet. Da die Wirkung des Windes auf die Meeresoberfläche als dem tangentialen Windstress proportional angenommen wird, wurden aus den Winddaten monatliche Mittelwerte für die beiden tangentialen Windstress-Komponenten berechnet. In dem Periodenbereich von einem bis etwa zwanzig Jahren sind die Schwankungen des Meeresspiegels von einigen wenigen, fast-periodischen Variationen bestimmt. Die Perioden, die in den Meeresspiegelschwankungen gefunden wurden, sind überwiegend auch in den untersuchten meteorologischen Parametern zu finden. Dabei sind diese Signale in Periode, Amplitude und Phase räumlich sehr homogen. Bei der Untersuchung der Signale in den meteorologischen Parametern Luftdruck, Ost-West- und Nord-Süd- Komponente des Windstress und Lufttemperatur zeigte sich, daß der überwiegende Teil der Perioden in ein Muster paßt, daß sich aus der Modulation der jährlichen solaren Anregung der Atmosphäre durch den Sonnenfleckenzyklus ergibt. Aus der Literatur ist bekannt, daß die Variationen in den Sonnenflecken mit Schwankungen in der Solarkonstanten und damit mit Variationen im Wärme-Input in das System Atmosphäre-Ozean verbunden sind. Die in der Lufttemperatur gefundenen Schwankungen mit Perioden zwischen einem und zwanzig Jahren haben Amplituden von ≈0.5°C und liegen damit um eine Größenordnung höhere als die aus einfachen Klima-Modellen abgeschätzten Effekte des Sonnenfleckenzyklus. Nur wenn man die Existenz positiver Rückkopplungs- Mechanismen annimmt, können die in den Beobachtungen gefundenen Variationen erklärt werden. Diese Rückkopplungen sind in beobachteten Veränderungen der vorherrschenden Wetterbedingungen mit dem Sonnenfleckenzyklus zu suchen. Änderun- gen der vorherrschenden Wetterbedingungen erklären dann auch das Vorhandensein dieser Perioden in Luftdruck und Windstress. Benutzt man die monatlichen Mittelwerte um die Antwort des Meeresspiegels auf Luftdruckschwankungen zu ermitteln, so ergibt sich für den größten Teil der Küste eine isostatische Antwort, vergleichbar einem inversen Barometer. Abweichungen finden sich insbesondere an Stationen am Ende von Fjorden (Oslofjord, Ofotfjord). Dort ist dann aber die Korrelation zwischen Windstress und Meeresspiegel höher als an Stationen an der offenen Küste, so daß diese Abweichungen von der isostatischen Antwort in wesentlichen durch Windeffekte bewirkt werden. Im Bereich der Chandler Periode sind im Luftdruck mindestens zwei Signale vorhanden, die mit Perioden von ≈1.14 Jahren und ≈1.22 Jahren die vom Chandler Wobble bewirkte Poltide verdecken. Die Signale im Luftdruck haben Amplituden (bis zu 200 Pa), die bei einer isostatischen Antwort des Meeresspiegels (etwa -1 cm/HPa) zu Signalen im Meeresspiegel führen, deren Amplituden deutlich über der Amplitude einer Gleichgewichts-Poltide (etwa 0.5 cm an der norwegischen Küste) liegen. Zu diesen Signalen im Luftdruck kommen noch Signale im Windstress und in der Lufttemperatur hinzu. Die Veränderungen in der Lufttemperatur können mit einiger Phasenverschiebung zu Signalen in der Wassertemperatur und über den Dichteeffekt zu entsprechenden Signalen im Meeresspiegel führen. Signale in der Temperatur des Meerwassers im Chandler-Band sind aus der Literatur bekannt. Diese komplizierte Wechselwirkung zwischen Atmosphäre und Ozean führt zu einer Verdeckung der vom Chandler Wobble bewirkten Poltide. Die Frequenz-Unterschiede zwischen den Signalen im Chandler-Band in der Atmosphäre und der Chandler Periode selbst (die auch der Periode der Poltide entspricht), führen zu langperiodischen Modulationen einer scheinbaren Poltide. Dadurch sind die beobachteten zeitlichen Variationen der Poltide nicht korreliert mit den zeitlichen Variation des Chandler Wobbles. Wird der isostatische Effekt des Luftdrucks auf den Meeresspiegel eliminiert, so ergibt sich eine Poltide, deren Amplitude nahe der Gleichgewichtsamplitude liegt. Der wesentliche Teil der Amplituden-Überhöhung der beobachteten Poltide gegenüber der Gleichgewichtsamplitude ist damit auf Luftdruckeffekte zurückzuführen. Die Phasenbeziehung zwischen beobachteter Poltide und der Gleichgewichtstide zeigt allerdings starke zeitliche Variationen. So ist im Interval von 1970 bis 1979 die Phase der beobachtete Poltide nahe der Gleichgewichtstide, während sich für das Interval von 1957 bis 1979 deutliche Abweichungen ergeben. Diese zeitliche Variabilität ist durch das Zusammenwirken verschiedener Signale im Chandler Band zu erklären. Insbesondere die in der Temperatur und im Wind gefundenen Signale mit Perioden nahe bei 14 Monaten können diese Variationen bewirken. Insgesamt wurden keine Hinweise gefunden auf eine von der Gleichgewichtstide abweichende Poltide. Der Chandler Wobble in der Polbewegung ist als Ursache für die Poltide wichtig für die vorliegende Arbeit. Da die in der Literatur publizierten Resultate bezüglich des Chandler Wobbles sehr widersprüchlich sind, wurden die Polbewegungsdaten des ILS/IPMS und vom BIH im Rahmen dieser Arbeit erneut analysiert. Mit Hilfe umfangreicher numerischer Untersuchungen konnte gezeigt werden, daß das einfache und physikalisch sinnvolle Modell eines mono-frequenten Chandler Wobbles, der häufig an zufälligen Zeitpunkten mit zufälliger Amplitude angeregt wird, ausreicht, um alle Eigenschaften des beobachteten Chandler Wobbles zu erklären. Durch Vergleich der Modellrechungen mit den Ergebnissen aus der beobachteten Polbewegung ergab sich, daß die tatsächliche Chandler Periode entweder bei 428.5± 1.0 Tagen oder bei 437.2±0.8 Tagen liegt, und nicht bei den üblicherweise angenommenen ≈434 Tagen. Dieses überraschende Ergebnis ist von großer Bedeutung für alle Arbeiten zur rheologischen Struktur der Erde. Dabei ist anzumerken, daß noch keine endgültige Aussage möglich ist, welche der beiden Perioden der tatsächlichen Chandler Periode entspricht. Allerdings wird die Periode von 428.5 Tagen durch einige Ergebnisse bevorzugt. Die in der Literatur üblicherweise genannte Periode von 434 Tagen ergibt sich gewöhnlich aus stark geglätteten Spektren. Diese Glättung führt bei einer Anregung nach dem oben beschriebenen Modell zu fehlerhaften Perioden. Die Untersuchung der aus den Polbewegungen ermittelten Gleichgewichtsbewegungen des Meeresspiegels erbrachte eine weitere interessante Korrelation: Eliminiert man aus diesen Gleichgewichtsbewegungen Poltide und jährliche Variation, so findet sich in den Residuen eine quasi-periodische Schwankung mit einer Periode von grob 30 Jahren. Diese Variation in den Gleichgewichtsbewegungen ist auf die als Markowitz Wobble bezeichnete Polbewegung zurückzuführen. Eine entsprechende, phasengleiche Variation findet sich auch in den Residuen der Meeresspiegelschwankungen, wenn man alle wichtigen Signale mit Perioden von einschließlich einem Jahr bis hin zu etwa 10 Jahren eliminiert. Falls diese Korrelation nicht zufällig ist, so müßte sie auch global zu finden sein. In der globalen Oberflächentemperatur und in der Änderung der Tageslänge finden sich ebenfalls Variationen, die mit den im residualen Meeresspiegel und in den Gleichgewichtsbewegungen gefundenen Signalen korrelieren, wobei die Variationen in der globalen Temperatur gegenüber den andern Parametern phasenverschoben sind. Die nodale Tide mit einer Periode von 18.6 Jahren zeigt entlang der norwegischen Küste gegenüber der Gleichgewichtstide eine Phasenverschiebung von etwa 0.8 Radian, und die Amplituden liegen um einen Faktor von 3 bis 5 über der entsprechenden Gleichgewichtsamplitude. Die Untersuchung der Variationen der Amplitude der vierzehntägigen Tide Mf zeigt eine ähnlich große Phasenverschiebung zwischen der beobachteten und der erwarteten nodalen Modulation, wobei hier die relativen Amplituden für alle Stationen mit Ausnahme von Oslo und Bergen nahe den Erwartungen liegen. Allerdings ist hier zu bemerken, daß die Amplituden der Mf um den Faktor 2 bis 3 über der Gleichgewichtstide liegen, und somit auch die Modulationen entsprechend erhöht sind. Die Unterschiede in Oslo und Bergen deuten auf Resonanz-Effekte hin. Der Trend im Meeresspiegel relativ zum Land ist an der norwegischen Küste im wesentlichen auf die Landhebung infolge der post-glazialen Entlastungsbewegungen zurückzuführen. Bestimmt man die Isolinien der Landhebungen aus den in dieser Arbeit ermittelten Trends, so ergeben sich Linien, die zu dem generellen Verlauf der Küste parallel sind. Bei Ålesund ergibt sich eine deutliche Verzerrung dieser Linien. In Ålesund finden sich starke zeitliche Variationen im Trend, die mit kleinräumigen Prozessen in Verbindung stehen müssen. Generell ist der Gradient der Landhebung senkrecht zum großräumigen Verlauf der Küste. Der hier ermittelte Gradient ist aber höher als in bisher publizierten Arbeiten, und die Lage der Nullinie ist weiter zur See hin verschoben.

    Description: Desert environments constitute one of the largest and yet most fragile ecosystems on Earth. Under the absence of regular precipitation, microorganisms are the main ecological component mediating nutrient fluxes by using soil components, like minerals and salts, and atmospheric gases as a source for energy and water. While most of the previous studies on microbial ecology of desert environments have focused on surface environments, little is known about microbial life in deeper sediment layers. Our study is extending the limited knowledge about microbial communities within the deeper subsurface of the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert. By employing intracellular DNA extraction and subsequent 16S rRNA sequencing of samples collected from a soil pit in the Yungay region of the Atacama Desert, we unveiled a potentially viable microbial subsurface community residing at depths down to 4.20 m. In the upper 80 cm of the playa sediments, microbial communities were dominated by Firmicutes taxa showing a depth-related decrease in biomass correlating with increasing amounts of soluble salts. High salt concentrations are possibly causing microbial colonization to cease in the lower part of the playa sediments between 80 and 200 cm depth. In the underlying alluvial fan deposits, microbial communities reemerge, possibly due to gypsum providing an alternative water source. The discovery of this deeper subsurface community is reshaping our understanding of desert soils, emphasizing the need to consider subsurface environments in future explorations of arid ecosystems.

    Description: The current crustal stress field is of key importance to understand geodynamic processes and to assess stability aspects during subsurface usage. To provide a 3-D continuous description of the stress state, linear elastic forward geomechanical-numerical models are used. These models solve the equilibrium of forces between gravitational volume forces and surfaces forces im- posed mainly by plate tectonics. The latter are responsible for the horizontal stress anisotropy and impose the inverse problem to estimate horizontal displacement boundary conditions that provide a fit best to horizontal stress magnitude data within the model volume. Ho wever , horizontal stress magnitude data have high uncertainties and they are sparse, clustered and not necessaril y representati ve for a larger rock v olume. Even w hen Bay esian statistics are incor - porated and additional stress information such as borehole failure observations or formation integrity test are used to further constrain the solution space, this approach may result in a low accuracy of the model results, that is the result is not correct. Here, we present an alternative approach that removes the dependence of the solution space based on stress magnitude data to avoid potential low accuracy . Initially , a solution space that contains all stress states that are physically reasonable is defined. Stress magnitude data and the additional stress information are then used in a Bayesian framework to e v aluate which solutions are more likely than others. We first show and validate our approach with a generic truth model and then apply it to a case study of the Molasse foreland basin of the Alps in Southern Germany. The results show that the model’s ability to predict a reliable stress state is increasing while the number of likely solutions may also increase, and that outlier of stress magnitude data can be identified. This alternative approach results in a substantial increase in computational speed as we perform most of the calculations anal yticall y.

    Description: Real-world labs are witnessing continued growth and institutionalization in the field of transformation-oriented sustainability research, as well as in adjacent disciplines. With their experimental research agendas, these labs aim at sustainability transformations, however, there is still a need to improve the understanding of their impacts. Drawing from this Special Issue's contributions, we offer a broad overview of the impacts achieved by various real-world labs, highlight the diverse areas and forms of impact, and elucidate strategies as well as mechanisms for achieving impact. We present methodological advances, and address common challenges along with potential solutions for understanding and realizing impact.

    Description: Andean broken foreland zones, located to the east of the highest Andes, are associated with populated areas and sedimentary basins with relative economic importance. Understanding their seismogenic potential is crucial for urban development and infrastructure planning. In particular, the San Rafael Block is part of the broken foreland developed to the south of the Chilean-Pampean flat subduction zone. A local seismic network allows analyzing the seismogenic potential of the San Rafael Block. Earthquake distribution suggests a northeast-dipping ramp rooting at the lower crust, cropping out at the western topographic front of the basement uplift. Gravity data confirm the asymmetry of the San Rafael block with a western topographic front associated with the main structure that exhumes the basement. Seismological and gravity data allow proposing a west-verging structure, contrary to previous interpretations based on surficial structural data. The results presented here identify the highest shallow seismogenic potential on the western side of the block, near the El Nihuil dam, and only deep events at the eastern neotectonic front which allegedly hosted historical earthquake occurrences such as the Villa Atuel-Las Malvinas earthquake in 1929.

    Description: Seafloor massive sulfides are modern analogues to ancient volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits, which are particularly enriched in volatile and precious metals (e.g., Te, Au, Ag, Cu, Bi, Se) in subduction-related settings. However, the sources of metals are still poorly constrained, and it remains elusive, whether magmatic volatile influx controls their distribution in submarine hydrothermal systems on the plate tectonic-scale. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, that Te, As, and Sb contents as well as related Te/As and Te/Sb ratios vary systematically with the δ34S composition of pyrite and native S, as reported by high-resolution coupled SIMS δ34S and trace element LA-ICP-MS micro-analysis. The better correlation of element ratios (Te/As, Te/Sb) opposed to trace element contents (e.g., Te) with δ34S in pyrite demonstrates that element ratios provide a more robust record of magmatic volatile influx than their absolute contents. On this basis, we define a quantitative threshold of high Te/As (〉0.004) and Te/Sb (〉0.6) ratios in pyrite that are indicative of magmatic volatile influx to submarine subduction-related hydrothermal systems. Two-component fluid mixing simulations further revealed that 〈5 % of magmatic volatile influx drastically changes the Te/As (and Te/Sb) ratio of the modelled fluid, but only slightly changes its δ34S composition. This suggests that Te/As and Te/Sb ratios are more sensitive to a magmatic volatile influx into seawater-dominated hydrothermal systems than δ34S signatures if the magmatic volatile influx was low. Beyond this, our results demonstrate that magma-derived fluid mixing with seawater only has a negligible effect on the magmatic volatile record of Te/As and Te/Sb, while the S isotope system is prone for seawater overprinting leading to commonly ambiguous source signatures. Thus, Te/As and Te/Sb systematics in pyrite provide a robust proxy to evaluate the contribution of magmatic volatiles to submarine hydrothermal systems from the grain- to plate tectonic-scale.
