    Description: Machine learning, with its advances in deep learning has shown great potential in analyzing time series. In many scenarios, however, additional information that can potentially improve the predictions is available. This is crucial for data that arise from e. g., sensor networks that contain information about sensor locations. Then, such spatial information can be exploited by modeling it via graph structures, along with the sequential (time series) information. Recent advances in adapting deep learning to graphs have shown potential in various tasks. However, these methods have not been adapted for time series tasks to a great extent. Most attempts have essentially consolidated around time series forecasting with small sequence lengths. Generally, these architectures are not well suited for regression or classification tasks where the value to be predicted is not strictly depending on the most recent values, but rather on the whole length of the time series. We propose TISER-GCN, a novel graph neural network architecture for processing, in particular, these long time series in a multivariate regression task. Our proposed model is tested on two seismic datasets containing earthquake waveforms, where the goal is to predict maximum intensity measurements of ground shaking at each seismic station. Our findings demonstrate promising results of our approach—with an average MSE reduction of 16.3%—compared to the best performing baselines. In addition, our approach matches the baseline scores by needing only half the input size. The results are discussed in depth with an additional ablation study.

    Description: The Osservatorio Vesuviano (OV) is the oldest volcano observatory in the world having been founded in 1841 by the King of the Two Sicilies Ferdinand II of Bourbon. The historical building, located on the western slope of Vesuvius, hosts a museum with important collections of remarkable scientifc, historical and artistic value, including pioneering instruments, rocks and minerals, photos and flms of Vesuvius’ eruptions and many other memorabilia. Visitors discover this heritage through perma nent exhibitions, and a multimedia path, across the history of Vesuvius and the origin of volcano monitoring. The museum lies within the protected area of Vesuvius National Park, established in 1995. The park’s network of trails allows visitors to enjoy the geodiversity of Somma-Vesuvius, whose activity has been intertwined with that of humans from Bronze Age to modern times, as testifed by many important archaeological sites around the volcano, the most famous among them being Pompeii and Herculaneum. The “Grand Tour” was the cultural journey undertaken in the eighteenth century by European intellectuals, in which Italy was an essential destination; we consider the Museum of the OV an essential stop in a modern “Vesuvius Grand Tour”, a journey through the geological and archaeological heritage of Vesuvius territory. Since 2001, the OV is the Naples section of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofsica e Vulcanologia (INGV), which is primarily tasked with monitoring the three active volcanoes of the Neapolitan area—Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei and Ischia—through an advanced surveillance network

    Description: Learning from successful applications of methods originating in statistical mechanics, com- plex systems science, or information theory in one scientific field (e.g., atmospheric physics or climatology) can provide important insights or conceptual ideas for other areas (e.g., space sciences) or even stimulate new research questions and approaches. For instance, quantification and attribution of dynamical complexity in output time series of nonlinear dynamical systems is a key challenge across scientific disciplines. Especially in the field of space physics, an early and accurate detection of characteristic dissimilarity between nor- mal and abnormal states (e.g., pre-storm activity vs. magnetic storms) has the potential to vastly improve space weather diagnosis and, consequently, the mitigation of space weather hazards. This review provides a systematic overview on existing nonlinear dynamical systems- based methodologies along with key results of their previous applications in a space physics context, which particularly illustrates how complementary modern complex systems ap- proaches have recently shaped our understanding of nonlinear magnetospheric variability. The rising number of corresponding studies demonstrates that the multiplicity of nonlin- ear time series analysis methods developed during the last decades offers great potentials for uncovering relevant yet complex processes interlinking different geospace subsystems, variables and spatiotemporal scales.

    Description: In the last decades, the frequency of extreme weather and marine events has drastically increased. During the last week of October 2021 an intense Mediterranean hurricane (Medicane), named Apollo, affected many countries on the Mediterranean coasts. Eight people died as a consequence of the floodings from the cyclone in the countries of Tunisia, Algeria, Malta, and Italy. A preliminary search for possible signatures of the Apollo Medicane by meteorological satellite, radar HF, marine buoy, and seismic data is performed. This was done in a framework of an international collaboration between Italian and Maltese partners for the monitoring of the sea state in scenarios of climate change. The experimental results confirm, at this preliminary stage, the possibility and the usefulness of jointly looking at such phenomena with multiple aims of retrieving a more robust characterization, having a backup alternative in case a primary monitoring network gets failure, and pathing the way to heuristic and data-driven analytical and predictive approaches to Medicanes issues.

    Description: Set of data and metadata that characterize a site hosting a seismic station
    Description: In this paper we describe an advanced database for the site characterization of seismic stations, named “CRISP—Caratterizzazione della RIsposta sismica dei Siti Permanenti della rete sismica” (http:// crisp. ingv. it, quoted with https:// doi. org/ 10. 13127/ crisp), designed for the Italian National Seismic Network (Rete Sismica Nazionale, RSN, operated by Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia). For each site, CRISP collects easily accessible station information, such as position, type(s) of instrumentation, instrument housing, thematic map(s) and descriptive attributes (e.g., geological characteristics, etc.), seismic analysis of recordings, and available geophysical investigations (shear-wave velocity [VS] profile, non-linear decay curve). The archive also provides key proxy indicators derived from the available data, such as the time-averaged shear-wave velocity of the upper 30 m from the surface ( VS30) and site and topographic classes according to the different seismic codes. Standardized procedures have been applied as motivated by the need for a homogenous set of information for all the stations. According to European Plate Observing System infrastructural objectives for the standardization of seismological data, CRISP is integrated into pre-existing INGV instrument infrastructures, shares content with the Italian Accelerometric Archive, and complies map information about the stations, as well as local geology, through web services managed by Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale. The design of the CRISP archive allows the database to be continually updated and expanded whenever new data are available from the scientific community, such as the ones related to new seismic stations, map information, geophysical surveys, and seismological analyses.

    Description: At opposite ends of our world lie the poles. In the North, the Arctic, an ocean surrounded by coasts; in the South, the Antarctic continent surrounded by an ocean that separates it from the nearest landmasses. At first glance, the poles could not be more dissimilar owing to their contrasting location, geography, and tectonic and evolutionary history. The amplitude and types of ice cover, though differing between the poles, are influenced by the same climatic, atmospheric, and hydrodynamic processes that affect the entire Earth. Freshwater influx into their coastal areas too—beyond the effects of glaciological changes and dynamics such as glacier melt and increasing meltwater discharges—is different: in contrast to the Arctic, the Antarctic continent and sub-Antarctic islands lack major rivers. However, their latitudinal range and low temperatures, ice shelves, icebergs, sea ice, impacts from tidewater and land-based glaciers, significant seasonal variation in light intensity and, hence, primary productivity, offer parallel environments for organisms that have adapted to such conditions. Although we know much about the similarities and differences from an environmental perspective, there are still many unknowns about how benthic communities, especially the meiobenthos, from both regions compare. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the contrasts and parallels between Arctic and Antarctic meiobenthos and place it into context of their extreme habitats. Following a brief account of Arctic and Antarctic evolution and the historical study of their faunas, we (i) compare how extreme polar conditions affect meiofauna across four main habitats: polar coastal areas and fjords, continental shelves and ice shelves, the deep sea, and sea ice, and we (ii) discuss the implications of climate change on meiofauna in these habitats. Reflecting on (i) and (ii) allowed us to identify frontiers for future research of polar meiofauna, which we put forward in the concluding sections of this chapter.

    Description: Seismic data of earthquakes recorded during the last 40 years in southern Calabria have been compared with geological data in order to obtain a seismotectonic picture of the area. We sought for any possible correlation between the main regional tectonic st ructures, the distribution of earthquake hypocentres and the focal mechanism of earthquakes with magnitude (Ml)≥3. Studies of historical and recent seismicity and analysis of geological stru ctures allowed to define the main shear strips on a regional scale. More than 2600 earthquakes with 1.5 ≤ Ml ≤ 4.5 have been considered. The focal mechanisms of earthquakes with Ml≥3 have been compared with the kinematics of known faults and used to give insight on the current active stress field. From the analysis carried out it was possible to expand the cognitive framework regarding the activity of the main tectonic structures present in the area. This study also served to identify areas of high seismicity which do not correspond to any evidence of tectonic structures on the surface, and areas where recognized tectonic structures have not shown any seismicity during the la st decades. These cases could be the subject of future investigation in order to correctly assess the se ismic hazard in Calabria. This task is important in the context of seismic hazard evaluation and mitigation.

    Description: Volcano science has been deeply developing during last decades, from a branch of descriptive natural sciences to a highly multi-disciplinary, technologically advanced, quantitative sector of the geosciences. While the progress has been continuous and substantial, the volcanological community still lacks big scientific endeavors comparable in size and objectives to many that characterize other scientific fields. Examples include large infrastructures such as the LHC in Geneva for sub-atomic particle physics or the Hubble telescope for astrophysics, as well as deeply coordinated, highly funded, decadal projects such as the Human Genome Project for life sciences. Here we argue that a similar big science approach will increasingly concern volcano science, and briefly describe three examples of developments in volcanology requiring such an approach, and that we believe will characterize the current decade (2020–2030): the Krafla Magma Testbed initiative; the development of a Global Volcano Simulator; and the emerging relevance of big data in volcano science.

    Description: This book contributes to the current discussion on geoethics and global ethics within the geoscience and humanities communities. It provides new content and insights into developing convergent human actions in response to global anthropogenic changes, based on perspectives that make it possible to combine geoscience knowledge with humanities and social sciences approaches. Selected authors present their reflections, findings and insights regarding the vision of geoethics (ethics of responsibility towards the Earth) as global ethics from philosophical, humanities and social sciences perspectives. In addition, they discuss ethical frameworks from diverse cultural traditions, searching for points of intersection with geoethics. The goal: for global environmental problems to be managed via multi-perspective approaches that can more effectively accommodate complexity. Combining the strengths of the geosciences, humanities and social sciences can pave the way for a paradigm shift in how human societies develop adaptive, sustainable responses to environmental changes and societal inequalities.

    Description: The globalized society is held together by an intricate system of human relationships. This system constitutes a planetary architecture characterized by (a) a complex technological structure, (b) the homogenization of cultural forms and economic systems, (c) growing social, political and economic inequalities. Faced with planetary systemic perturbations (such as pandemics and wars), the globalized society shows criticalities, but also strengths, despite it is still too vulnerable to anthropogenic environmental changes. These changes modify the physical–chemical-biological characteristics of the Earth system and therefore represent a great threat to human communities, more serious than the pandemic threat from SARS-CoV-2, perhaps equal to the threat of a nuclear war, since it is the habitability of the planet by humanity and many other living species to be in danger. In order to promptly address the dangers of the anthropogenic changes underway, a closer and more structured international cooperation between states is needed. There are no alternatives. But this goal today appears increasingly difficult and distant due to the international geopolitical instability triggered by the war in Ukraine. In fact, only, human communities that share ethical principles and values on which to base new forms of relationship between human beings and the Earth system are able to face the planetary ecological crisis and build a possible future on Earth. In this perspective, geoethics is proposed as global ethics of a complex world, founded on the principles of dignity, freedom and responsibility and aimed at the renewal of the human-Earth System nexus and the realization of an ecological humanism.

    Description: In a period in which climate change is signifcantly varying rainfall regimes and their intensity all over the world, river-fow prediction is a major concern of geosciences. In recent years there has been an increase in the use of deep-learning models for river-fow prediction. However, in this feld we can observe two main issues: i) many case studies use similar (or the same) strategies without sharing the codes, and ii) the application of these techniques requires good computer knowledge. This work proposes to employ a Google Colab notebook called CleverRiver, which allows the application of deep-learning for river-fow predictions. CleverRiver is a dynamic software that can be upgraded and modifed not only by the authors but also by the users. The main advantages of CleverRiver are the following: the software is not limited by the client hardware, operating systems, etc.; the code is open-source; the toolkit is integrated with user-friendly interfaces; updated releases with new architectures, data management, and model parameters will be progressively uploaded. The software consists of three sections: the frst one enables to train the models by means of some architectures, parameters, and data; the second section allows to create predictions by using the trained models; the third section allows to send feedback and to share experiences with the authors, providing a fux of precious information able to improve scientifc research.

    Description: We develop a new inversion approach to construct a 3-D structural and shear-wave velocity model of the crust based on teleseismic P-to-S converted waves. The proposed approach does not require local earthquakes such as body wave tomography, nor a large aperture seismic network such as ambient noise tomography, but a three-component station network with spacing similar to the expected crustal thickness. The main features of the new method are: (1) a novel model parametrization with 3-D mesh nodes that are fixed in the horizontal directions but can flexibly vary vertically; (2) the implementation of both sharp velocity changes across discontinuities and smooth gradients; (3) an accurate ray propagator that respects Snell’s law in 3-D at any interface geometry. Model parameters are inverted using a stochastic method composed of simulated annealing followed by a pattern search algorithm. The first application is carried out over the Central Alps, where long-standing permanent and the temporary AlpArray Seismic Network stations provide an ideal coverage. For this study we invert 4 independent parameters, which are the Moho discontinuity depth, the Conrad discontinuity depth, the P-velocity change at the Conrad and the average Vp/Vs of the crust. The 3-D inversion results clearly image the roots of the Alpine orogen, including the Ivrea Geophysical Body. The lower crust's thickness appears fairly constant. Average crustal Vp/Vs ratios are relatively higher beneath the orogen, and a low-Vp/Vs area in the northern foreland seems to correlate with lower crustal earthquakes, which can be related to mechanical differences in rock properties, probably inherited. Our results are in agreement with those found by 3-D ambient noise tomography, though our method inherently performs better at localizing discontinuities. Future developments of this technique can incorporate joint inversions, as well as more efficient parameter space exploration.

    Description: Explosive volcanic eruptions can produce vast amounts of volcanic ash made up mainly of fragments of magmatic glass, country rock and minerals 〈 2 mm in size. Ash particles forming from magma fragmentation are generated by several processes when brittle response accommodates (local) deformation stress that exceeds the capability of the bulk material to respond by viscous flow. These processes span a wide range of temperatures, can occur inside or outside the volcanic edifice and can involve all melt compositions. Ash is then dispersed by volcanic and atmospheric processes over large distances and can have global distributions. Explosive eruptions have repeatedly drawn focus to studying volcanic ash. The continued occurrence of such eruptions worldwide and their widespread impacts motivates the study of the chemical and physical processes involved in the lifecycle of volcanic ash (e.g. magma fragmentation, particle aggregation), as well as the immediate to long-term effects (e.g. water and air pollution, soil fertilization) and consequences (e.g. environmental, economic, social) associated with ashfall. In this perspectives article, we reflect on the progress made over the last two decades in understanding (1) volcanic ash generation; (2) dispersion, sedimentation and erosion; and (3) impacts on the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and modern infrastructure. Finally, we discuss open questions and future challenges.

    Description: We illustrate the implementation and results of a field experiment, consisting of recording continuous signal from a hydrophone 3 m deep in the Venetian lagoon. We simultaneously recorded audio signal through a microphone placed on a nearby pier. We investigate the potential of this simple instrumental setup to explore the small touristic boat traffic contribution to the underwater noise. The ultimate goal of our work is to contribute to quantifying underwater noise pollution due to motorboat passages and its impact on the ecosystem. Efforts such as ours should help to identify measures that could diminish noise pollution, focusing specifically on the aspects that are most disruptive to underwater life. After this preliminary test, more work can be planned, involving the deployment of a larger network of similar instruments around the lagoon. At this point, we can conclude that (i) our instruments are sensitive enough to detect motorboats and identify some of their characteristics; (ii) the area of interest is characterized by a large (approx. 20 dB) day/night difference in ambient noise; and (iii) the historic center of Venice and its immediate surroundings are particularly noisy, in comparison to other similarly studied locations.

    Description: We investigate the differences in seismicity rate estimates from two historical earthquake catalogues obtained with two methodologies (Boxer and QUake-MD) calibrated on a common dataset of macroseismic intensities and calibration events. The two methodologies were then applied to a test data set of historical earthquakes covering the France, Italy and Switzerland Alpine region. Differences between the resulting magnitude estimates and instrumental magnitudes show a standard deviation of 0.4 for both methodologies, with a mean residual of 0.01 for Boxer and − 0.04 for Quake-MD. A systematic difference in magnitude estimates between the two methodologies that correlates with the depth estimated by Quake-MD has been observed. This is attributed to the difference in the treatment of the depth parameter between Boxer and QUake-MD. Nevertheless, differences in magnitude estimates between the two methodologies show a mean residual of 0.006 and a standard deviation of 0.35 resulting in seismicity rates that are not significantly different considering the associated uncertainties. Such results made us believe that the European community could gain in the reduction of epistemic uncertainties associated with the estimate of historical earthquake parameters by agreeing on a common macroseismic and calibration dataset across borders. These efforts should be strongly encouraged. On the other hand, we show that even in the ideal conditions of this benchmark (same calibration events and same macroseismic intensity dataset), methodological differences can lead to systematic differences in magnitude estimates. It is therefore paramount to explore different methodologies for a more realistic quantification of the epistemic uncertainties in estimates of maximum magnitudes and seismic activity rates.

    Description: The processes of heat transfer occurring between the Earth’s asthenosphere and lithosphere are responsible for partial melting of rocks, leading to the magma generation and its migration and segregation in the crust and, possibly, to volcanoes generation at the surface. Convection is the dominant mechanism regulating the heat transfer from the asthenosphere to the lithosphere, although many aspects of the whole process are not yet clear. Therefore, the knowledge of the physical processes leading to the melting of the lithospheric rocks has important consequences in understanding the interior Earth dynamics, the surface volcanic dynamics, and its related hazards. Rock melting occurs when the temperature gradient meets the rock solidus. Here, we propose a nonlinear convective 1D analytical model (representing an approximation of more 3D complex models). The steady-state solution of our equation is in good agreement with the estimated geotherms of the asthenosphere. A perturbative approach leads to a heat swelling at the boundary between asthenosphere and lithosphere able to determine its melting and the birth of a volcano.

    Description: A hydrogeochemical study was carried out on the shallow Catania Plain alluvial aquifer, in eastern Sicily to reconstruct its hydrogeological structure, the meteoric recharge and to assess the infuence of human activities on groundwater. To characterize the geochemistry of the shallow aquifer, two sampling campaigns were carried out, August–October 2004 and April–May 2005 in 47 sites distributed throughout the plain. The samples were collected and analyzed for physical–chemical parameters and major ions, as well as stable isotopes (δ18O and δ2 H). Alluvial deposits with heterogeneous grain sizes constitute the aquifer. Varying conditions of vertical and horizontal permeability lead to the presence of a multilayered aquifer with diferent conditions of confnement and partial interconnection among layers. The sampled waters were separated into four groups of diferent compositions due to the water–rock interaction with the diferent lithologies present in and around the study area. Maps of electrical conductivity and sulfate show a systematic control of land use, in correspondence with the biggest farms. High sulfate concentration is due to both the natural interaction between local meteoric waters and Etna’s plume and the mixing with groundwater coming from the area where evaporitic rocks of the Gessoso Solffera formation are present. In addition, anthropogenic contamination cannot be ruled out. A rain gauge network, consisting of 3 sites located at diferent altitudes, was installed to collect rain waters to determine isotopic data (δ2 H and δ18O) and to measure the monthly rainfall amount. Based on the isotopic composition of sampled waters, it has been established that beyond the direct meteoric recharge, the recharging areas are in the North (Mt. Etna) and the South (Hyblean Plateau).

    Description: Geophysical and geochemical methods were applied to detect the subsurface setting of an Upper Pleistocene-Holocene fluvial incised-valley where a travertine body intercalates between alluvial deposits of the Tiber river (central Italy), at Prima Porta (close to Rome). This study allowed us to provide more information regarding the local stratigraphic architecture and structural features, as a reference analogue to similar settings: i.e., hard (stiff) lithic travertines buried below fine and loose alluvial plain covers. Two Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) profiles, interpreted and calibrated using previously collected litho-stratigraphic data from a borehole, identified a massive body, with a relatively high resistivity that correlates with the 21 travertine deposit of Prima Porta. In addition to ERT, ambient noise measurements, processed with the HVSR technique and 2D array, and seismic refraction tomography were carried out; HVSR data were highly consistent with ERT results and allowed to discriminate between the travertine body and the silty-sand channels and overbank deposits, which were attributed to the Tiber river’s evolution during Upper Pleistocene-Holocene. Finally, the presence of cracks/fractures could be inferred, as suggested by slight polarisation effects recorded in the HVSR results and soil-gas anomalies.

    Description: Swarm is the first European Space Agency (ESA) constellation mission for Earth Observation. Three identical Swarm satellites were launched into near-polar orbits on 22 November 2013. Each satellite hosts a range of instruments, including a Langmuir probe, GPS receivers, and magnetometers, from which the ionospheric plasma can be sampled and current systems inferred. In March 2018, the CASSIOPE/e-POP mission was formally integrated into the Swarm mission through ESA’s Earthnet Third Party Mission Programme. Collectively the instruments on the Swarm satellites enable detailed studies of ionospheric plasma, together with the variability of this plasma in space and in time. This allows the driving processes to be determined and understood. The purpose of this paper is to review ionospheric results from the first seven years of the Swarm mission and to discuss scientific challenges for future work in this field.

    Description: A probabilistic volcanic hazard assessment (PVHA) for Ceboruco volcano (Mexico) is reported using PyBetVH, an e-tool based on the Bayesian Event Tree (BET) methodology. Like many volcanoes, Ceboruco is under-monitored. Despite several eruptions in the late Holocene and efforts by several university and government groups to create and sustain a monitoring network, this active volcano is monitored intermittently rather than continuously by dedicated groups. With no consistent monitoring data available, we look at the geology and the eruptive history to inform prior models used in the PVHA. We estimate the probability of a magmatic eruption within the next time window (1 year) of ~ 0.002. We show how the BET creates higher probabilities in the absence of monitoring data, which if available would better inform the prior distribution. That is, there is a cost in terms of higher probabilities and higher uncertainties for having not yet developed a sustained volcano monitoring network. Next, three scenarios are developed for magmatic eruptions: i) small magnitude (effusive/explosive), ii) medium magnitude (Vulcanian/sub-Plinian) and iii) large magnitude (Plinian). These scenarios are inferred from the Holocene history of the volcano, with their related hazardous phenomena: ballistics, tephra fallout, pyroclastic density currents, lahars and lava flows. We present absolute probability maps (unconditional in terms of eruption size and vent location) for a magmatic eruption at Ceboruco volcano. With PyBetVH we estimate and visualize the uncertainties associated with each probability map. Our intent is that probability maps and uncertainties will be useful to local authorities who need to understand the hazard when considering the development of long-term urban and land-use planning and short-term crisis management strategies, and to the scientific community in their efforts to sustain monitoring of this active volcano.

    Description: ASHER, a new sensor for the characterization of tephra fallout in real time, was designed and developed for easy field deployment during volcanic eruptions. It can provide information on the accumulation rate of tephra fallout in real time as well as grain-size and settling velocity of falling particles. Particle detection is achieved with a laser barrier, with size and settling velocity being calculated from the amplitude and duration of obscuration peaks. The sampling rate (31,500 Hz), laser thickness (0.5 mm) and operation (ON/OFF state and dual acquisition mode) are adapted to minimize the noise level and allow detection of particles as small as ~100 μm. Additional measurements of weight and level of accumulated material within a removable collector allow broadening of the ASHER operation to accumulation rate from 10−2 to 103 g m-2s-1. Detailed calibration tests were performed in laboratory conditions on single grains of known shape and density along with a high-speed camera to test the capability to measure grain size and terminal velocity, and during two field campaigns at Stromboli and Etna volcanoes to test the operation in the field. Long-term field deployment has shown that combining the optical barrier with an automatic collector allows for a better characterization of tephra fallout, providing an estimate of density, and, therefore, it optimizes sensor operation and minimizes false alerts. Moreover, the low power requirements and onboard processing allows to operate the sensor remotely and solely on solar power in a remote location. Although technical improvements in sensor sensitivity and processing are still possible, the results presented suggest that ground sensors for real-time detection and analysis of tephra could potentially contribute to understanding the dynamics of explosive eruptions and could be successfully integrated into monitoring systems of active volcanoes.

    Description: 〈jats:title〉Abstract〈/jats:title〉〈jats:p〉Earthquake magnitude calibration using hydrophone records has been carried out at Campi Flegrei caldera, an active area close to the highly populated area of Naples city, partly undersea. Definite integrals of the hydrophone records amplitude spectra, between the limits of 1 and 20 Hz, were calculated on a set of small volcano-tectonic earthquakes with moment magnitudes ranging from 1 to 3.3. The coefficients of a linear relationship between the logarithm of these integrals and the magnitude were obtained by linear optimization, thus defining a useful equation to calculate the moment magnitude from the hydrophone record spectra. This method could be easily exported to other volcanic areas, where submerged volcanoes are monitored by networks of hydrophones and seismic sensors on land. The proposed approach allows indeed magnitude measurements of small magnitude earthquakes occurring at sea, thus adding useful information to the seismicity of these volcanoes.〈/jats:p〉

    Description: The knowledge of sea level in harbours is very important to manage port activities (safety of navigation, prevention of ship stranding, optimization of vessel loading, water quality control). In this article we describe the use of a software tool developed to help local authorities and working organizations to optimize navigation and avoid or manage hazardous situations due to sea level changes in port basins. This prototype application, starting from reading data coming from a monitoring station in La Spezia harbour (in North Western Italy), updates dynamically the port bathymetry based on sea level oscillations (measured in the past or real-time, or expected in the near future). Then, it detects potentially dangerous areas for a given ship moving in the basin at a certain time, by means of the idea of “virtual traffic lights”: sea level variations are provided as parameters to the application that performs the updating of the bathymetric map and the subdivision of the harbour in allowed (green)/warning (yellow)/prohibited (red) areas for each ship, based on its draft. The tool can provide a useful support interface to competent authorities to avoid or manage critical situations by detecting hazardous areas for a given vessel at a given time.

    Description: Stromboli (Italy) is a basaltic volcano characterized by persistent, mild strombolian activity, occasionally interrupted by lava effusion and more violent explosive events, named major explosions and paroxysms depending on their intensity and magnitude. The normal activity is fed by a shallow and degassed highly porphyritic (HP) shoshonitic basalt carrying about 50 vol.% crystals settled in a shoshonitic glassy matrix ( K2O 〉 3.8 wt.%). The more energetic explosions erupt a deep, volatile-rich, low-porphyritic (LP) magma with 〈 10 vol.% crystals in a shoshonitic basaltic glassy matrix ( K2O 〈 2.4 wt.%). Products with intermediate glass composition are also found in the more violent explosive events. In this study, we present a new data set of major and trace element contents in matrix glasses and minerals performed in products from different types of explosive activity that occurred at Stromboli between 1998 and 2020. This large data set is used to put constraints on the evolution and architecture of the intermediate plumbing system, where the transformation from LP to HP occurs. Results indicate that, compared to paroxysms, the glassy matrices of the LP pumices from major explosions are richer in incompatible trace elements (and K2O wt.%) due to 〈 15 wt.% fractionation of clinopyroxene and olivine. This points to a chemical zoning of the deep reservoir and suggests that major explosions are fed by magmas residing in its upper part. Among the major explosions, the homogeneous intermediate glasses in the products from the 19 July 2020 event originate from the interplay of mixing and crystal fractionation processes. The crystallization of euhedral microphenocrysts of An-rich plagioclase suggests that batches of magma can pond and crystallize for few days (〈 11) at the base of the intermediate zone of the plumbing system, at pressure coinciding with the entering of plagioclase into the system (〈 100 MPa). As a relevant point for understanding the pre- and syn-eruptive magma dynamics, data indicate a positive correlation between the magnitude of the explosions and the depth of the supply magma.

    Description: Based on morphobathymetric and seismic reflection data, we studied a large landslide body from the eastern Sea of Marmara (NW Turkey), along the main strand of the North Anatolian Fault, one of the most seismically active geological structures on Earth. Due to its location and dimensions, the sliding body may cause tsunamis in case of failure possibly induced by an earthquake. This could affect heavily the coasts of the Sea of Marmara and the densely populated Istanbul Metropolitan area, with its exposed cultural heritage assets. After a geological and geometrical description of the landslide, thanks to high-resolution marine geophysical data, we simulated numerically possible effects of its massive mobilization along a basal displacement surface. Results, within significant uncertainties linked to dimensions and kinematics of the sliding mass, suggest generation of tsunamis exceeding 15–20 m along a broad coastal sector of the eastern Sea of Marmara. Although creeping processes or partial collapse of the landslide body could lower the associated tsunami risk, its detection stresses the need for collecting more marine geological/geophysical data in the region to better constrain hazards and feasibility of specific emergency plans.

    Description: In this work, we studied the hydrothermal agates from the Neogene–Quaternary volcanic district of Allumiere-Tolfa, northwest of Rome (Latium, Italy) using a combination of micro-textural, spectroscopic, and geochemical data. The examined sample consists of (1) an outer cristobalite layer deposited during the early stages of growth, (2) a sequence of chalcedonic bands (including i.e., length-fast, zebraic, and minor length-slow chalcedony) with variable moganite content (up to ca. 48 wt%), (3) an inner layer of terminated hyaline quartz crystals. The textures of the various SiO2 phases and their trace element content (Al, Li, B, Ti, Ga, Ge, As), as well as the presence of mineral inclusions (i.e., Fe-oxides and sulfates), is the result of physicochemical fuctuations of SiO2-bearing fuids. Positive correlation between Al and Li, low Al/Li ratio, and low Ti in hyaline quartz points to low-temperature hydrothermal environment. Local enrichment of B and As in chalcedony-rich layers are attributed to pH fuctuations. Analysis of the FT-IR spectra in the principal OH-stretching region (2750–3750 cm−1) shows that the silanol and molecular water signals are directly proportional. Strikingly, combined Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy on the chalcedonic bands reveals an anticorrelation between the moganite content and total water (SiOH+ molH2O) signal. The moganite content is compatible with magmatic-hydrothermal sulfate/alkaline fuids at a temperature of 100–200 °C, whereas the boron-rich chalcedony can be favored by neutral/acidic conditions. The fnal Bambauer quartz growth lamellae testifes diluted SiO 2-bearing solutions at lower temperature. These fndings suggest a genetic scenario dominated by pH fuctuations in the circulating hydrothermal fuid

    Description: New textural and petrological data are presented on products from five paroxysms at Stromboli (Aeolian Islands, Italy) including the two from 2019 and three historical (1930, undated, sixteenth century) eruptions. The data are used to con- strain timescales associated with the initiation of paroxysms and to examine current models for their triggering. Samples were collected from the deposits and a subset selected for mineral separation and petrological and textural characterization. Minerals and glass were imaged by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and chemical composition and zonation were analysed by electron microprobe. Trace elements in olivine were also determined. Vesicle number densities, vesicularities and vesicle diameters were measured by X-ray microCT techniques. The data were systematically compared with results of experiments simulating, on the one hand, ascent, vesiculation, degassing and crystallization of LP (low-porphyricity) magma and, on the other hand, interaction between LP and HP (high-porphyricity) magma. Paroxysm samples are mixed and include portions representative of both LP and HP magma. They host in variable proportions minerals and glass textur- ally and compositionally typical of these two magma types. Small but systematic variations in matrix glass compositions are found between each of the five eruptions considered. All samples host a population of vesicles ranging from 〈 15 to 〉 1000 μm in diameter and whose size distributions follow mixed exponential to power law distributions. Vesicularities are high (75% on average) and vesicle number densities range from 102-103 to 103-104 mm-3. Using experimental calibrations, the vesicle textural data suggest average LP magma ascent rates of 1–2 m/s (i.e. ~1.5 hours from depths between 7 and 1.5 km). The correlation between ascent rate and textures demonstrates systematic variations between eruptions, the most ener- getic (i.e. that of 1930) being associated with the highest ascent rate (~2 m/s). Widths of plagioclase reaction zones indicate that LP and HP magmas interacted for a maximum a few hours before eruption. Olivine reaction also implies durations of a few hours for LP-HP interaction and is followed by crystallization for 20 hours in the HP magma. Our results stress the fast ascent of LP magma from their storage region and their short residence times at shallow levels before being erupted. They clarify the respective roles of the deep and shallow feeding systems. An integrated phenomenological model for paroxysm initiation at Stromboli is outlined. Keywords

    Description: The role of water in the nucleation process of an earthquake and its contribution to the mainshock is ascertained by many models in its physical part, as a factor capable of altering the balance of pressures and thus influencing the effective pressure. Assuming that water is present at depth, starting from the observation of its molecular structure at various crustal pressure and temperature conditions, the present paper analyses water’s chemical role in relation with the rock matrix, and its response during microfracturing. The creation of a network of new void spaces produces a decrease of the water pressure. Water may respond at molecular scale differently, depending on its aggregation state. Effectively depressurisation has a limited influence on the liquid water, only if it does not cause the transition to the vapour phase. Conversely, depressurisation causes an instantaneous variation in the intermolecular structure of supercritical water (SCW). Specifically, the nearly total disappearance of its ionic characteristics: that means the severe drop of solubility constants. At the same time, the already low viscosity decreases too: SCW intrudes easily into new fissures. When the microcracks tend to close, SCW reacquires adequate ionic characteristics for the rise in density (isothermal pressurisation); hence, an intense water rock interaction starts with freshly opened surfaces. This process influences actively the subcritical crack growth too, again with differences between liquid and SCW: last one participates only when reacquires density. Summarising, it is likely that water plays a fundamental and active role in determining the rock weakening, once earthquake preparation process begin with the development of microcracks are forming, perhaps playing an active role in determining the main rupture. With different modalities according to its aggregation state.

    Description: The early Eocene paleoclimate record provides one of the best analogues for today’s 9 global warming. In order to reconstruct the evolution of the early Eocene paleoclimate and understand how environmental feedback mechanisms acted on it, an accurate time framework is necessary. In this regard, the astronomically calibrated time scale (ATS) provides the highest possible resolution, but models beyond 40-50 Ma are not fully resolved and actual geological data are incomplete. With the aim of filling this gap, the expanded lower Ypresian Arnakatxa section studied herein offered a potentially valuable orbitally paced geological record. This outcrop displays a well-defined arrangement of strata in couplets and bundles. The spectral analyses of colour data series showed the dominance of two main periodicities, which were related to orbital forcing on sedimentation by precession (20 kyr) and short (100 kyr) eccentricity cycles. Despite not being represented in the spectrograms, the influence of long (405 kyr) eccentricity on sedimentation was also deduced. Moreover, the disruption of the orbital signal in the upper half of the Arnakatxa section correlates with a very long (2.4 Myr) eccentricity node centred at ~54.6 Ma, which could also have caused the amplification of the orbital signal related to obliquity (41 kyr). Taking everything into account, the cyclostratigraphic analyses carried out in Arnakatxa resulted in a precessional scale orbital chronology for the time interval between 55.805 and 54.435 Ma (duration of 1.37 Myr). Thus, the Arnakatxa succession could be reliably correlated with Atlantic ODP records, which are the main reference for Ypresian astrochronology, at precessional scale. Furthermore, the results from Arnakatxa also help to identify the astronomical solutions that better match actual geological data, contributing to the construction of a definitive Ypresian ATS. In this regard, the Arnakatxa results are not a good fit for solutions La10a, La10d, La11 and ZB18, but match well with the previously thought to be less reliable solutions La10b and La10c.

    Description: We present results of repeated absolute gravity and GPS measurements, carried out at Mt. Etna volcano between 2009 and 2018. Absolute gravity measurements are rarely performed along arrays of stations on active volcanoes and, through our unprecedented dataset, we highlight the possibilities of this method to track underground mass changes over long time-scales. Analysis of the residual absolute gravity data and ground deformation reveals a cycle of gravity increase and uplift during 2009 to 2011, followed by gravity decrease and subsidence during 2011 to 2014. Data inversion points to a common mass and pressure source, lying beneath the summit area of the volcano, at depth of ~ 5 kmb.s.l. The bulk volume change inferred by the inversion of the deformation data can account for only a small portion of the mass change needed to explain the correspondent gravity variations.We propose that the observed relationship between gravity and vertical deformation was mostly due to the compressibility of the magma in the inferred reservoir, which, in turn, was enhanced by the presence of exsolved gas. Overall, the gravity and deformation data we present reveal a cycle of magma recharge (2009–2011) and discharge (2011–2014) to/from the inferred storage zone. During the recharge phase only degassing occurred from the summit craters of Mt. Etna. During the following phase of discharge, the magma lost from the reservoir at ~ 5 km b.s.l. fed the exceptional phase of volcanic activity during 2011–2014, when tens of lava fountaining episodes took place.

    Description: Methods of Earth Sciences have been employed in archaeological sites of the Marsica region, central Italy, in two different perspectives: to enhance knowledge on past natural events which damaged/destroyed ancient settlements/monuments and to gather data useful/necessary for preservation of the local cultural heritage. Within this wide perspective, the paper deals with (i) recent archaeoseismological investigations at Alba Fucens and other sites of the Fucino Plain which add evidence of sudden building collapse to the already available (archaeoseismological and paleoseismological) data concerning seismicity of fifth-sixth century AD; (ii) archaeological investigations on remains of the Medieval church of San Bartolomeo showing that coseismic damage in 1349 caused the abandonment of part of the building and its (re)use for burials; (iii) evidence of slope instability which caused rapid mass deposition in the lowest sector of ancient Alba Fucens since around the half of the sixth century AD, inhibiting the occupation of the Roman town; (iv) capable faulting potentially affecting the westernmost sector of the huge hydraulic works made by Romans during the first-second century AD to drain former Lake Fucino.

    Description: The Nirano Salse, known since the Roman Times, are one of the most beautiful and scenic mud volcanoes areas of Italy with thousands of visitors every year. In this work, we apply novel (for the context) hydrogeological techniques to characterize mud levels in the Salse by means of GPS-RTK positioning and continuous level logging within mud conduits. This is important to quantify the gas–liquid ratio in the conduits and evaluate the potential for dangerous abrupt mud eruptions. The results presented suggest that different mud levels in mud volcanoes clusters are due to the different gas–liquid ratio in the conduits and not necessarily exclude interconnection at depth, a hypothesis, on the other hand, that seems strengthened by mud level time series correlations. The presence of shallow aquifers at a depth of 5 to 30 m is also supported by our field data and allows us to delineate the boundaries of the shallow mud reservoir—pipes system and its overall shape. The shallow aquifers may provide a temporary storage for the ascending gas and when fluid pressure in these aquifers exceeds the tensional strength of the sedimentary rock, leakage of fluids to the surface would occur. In this case, if the gas–liquid ratio is high, mud volcanoes develop into tall gryphons and tend to have a discontinuous activity with sudden eruptions of mud after long periods of quiescence. This, together with the knowledge of shallow conduits localization has an important implication for site safety in proximity to the mud volcanoes. Our inferences based on mud level relationships to mud extrusion dynamics can be applied to lower risk in other mud volcanoes areas of the world with high geo-tourist visits, such as those of Trinidad, Azerbaijan, and Colombia.

    Description: Despite the progress in the international and regional governance efforts at the level of climate change, ocean acidification (OA) remains a global problem with profoundly negative environmental, social, and economical consequences. This requires extensive mitigation and adaptation effective strategies that are hindered by current shortcomings of governance. This multidisciplinary chapter investigates the risks of ocean acidification (OA) for aquaculture and fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea and its sub-basins and the role of regional adaptive governance to tackle the problem. The identified risks are based on the biological sensitivities of the most important aquaculture species and biogenic habitats and their exposure to the current and future predicted (2100) RCP 8.5 conditions. To link OA exposure and biological sensitivity, we produced spatially resolved and depth-related pH and aragonite saturation state exposure maps and overlaid these with the existing aquaculture industry in the coastal waters of the Mediterranean basin to demonstrate potential risk for the aquaculture in the future. We also identified fisheries’ vulnerability through the indirect effects of OA on highly sensitive biogenic habitats that serve as nursery and spawning areas, showing that some of the biogenic habitats are already affected locally under existing OA conditions and will be more severely impacted across the entire Mediterranean basin under 2100 scenarios. This provided a regional vulnerability assessment of OA hotspots, risks and gaps that created the baseline for discussing the importance of adaptive governance and recommendations for future OA mitigation/adaptation strategies. By understanding the risks under future OA scenarios and reinforcing the adaptability of the governance system at the science-policy interface, best informed, “situated” management response capability can be optimised to sustain ecosystem services.

    Description: The solubility of CO2 in mafic magmas is strongly dependent on magma composition, which ultimately affects magma storage conditions and eruptive behavior. Recent experimental work showed that previously published volatile solubility models for mafic magmas are not well calibrated at mid-crustal pressures (400–600 MPa). Using a simple thermodynamic model, here we construct a general CO2 solubility model for mafic magmas by establishing the compositional dependence of two key thermodynamic parameters. The model is calibrated using experimental data from 10 magma compositions that span a range of pressures as well as silica (44–53 wt.%) and total alkali (2–9 wt.%) contents. We also survey the experimental literature for relevant H2O solubility data to determine how to model H2O solubility for these magmas. We combine these separate CO2 and H2O solubility models into a single general model for mixed-fluid (H2O–CO2) solubility in mafic magmas called MafiCH. We test the MafiCH model using experiments from three compositions that fall both within and beyond the calibrated range, and find that the model accurately constrains the CO2 solubility of depolymerized magmas. Sensitivity tests identify that Na, Ca, and Al have the largest effect on CO2 solubility while Si and Mg do not play a strong role in CO2 solubility in mafic, depolymerized melts. Overall, saturation pressures calculated using the new model presented here are typically lower than those predicted by previous models. The model provides a new framework to interpret volcanic data from mafic magma compositions for which no experimental data is available.

    Description: ItalianseismicityisgeneratedbytheongoingsubductionoftheEuro- pean lithosphere beneath the Alps, and the Adriatic lithosphere beneath the Apen- nines. The two belts are extremely different due to their opposite polarity relative to the inferred underlying ‘eastward’ mantle flow. Contractional tectonics is con- centrated in low topography areas, whereas extensional tectonics and the larger magnitude seismicity due to normal faulting is preferentially located along the Apennines ridge, where the brittle crustal layer is thicker and the lithostatic load is maximum. Seismicity is the result of dissipation of energy along passive faults but stored mostly in crustal volumes located in the hangingwall of the faults. The 2–5 mm/yr deformation in all Italian tectonic settings prevents the occurrence of great earthquakes (Mw 8) that rather occur in other areas of the world where deformation rates are at least one order of magnitude faster. The maximum event so far recorded in Italy is Mw 7.3, 1693 southeast Sicily. InSAR data nowadays provide a precise definition of the epicentral area of an earthquake, which can be several hundred km2. The epicentral area is defined as the ‘active’ domain where the hangingwall is moving along the fault and it is contemporaneously crossed by the seismic waves radiated by the fault plane due to the friction in it. Within the active domain occur the strongest coseismic shaking, both vertical and horizontal. The vertical coseismic motion allows the horizontal shaking to be much more effective.

    Description: In this paper, we propose the use of advanced and flexible statistical models to describe the spatial displacement of earthquake data. The paper aims to account for the external geological information in the description of complex seismic point processes, through the estimation of models with space varying parameters. A local version of the Log-Gaussian Cox processes (LGCP) is introduced and applied for the first time, exploiting the inferential tools in Baddeley (Spat Stat 22:261–295, 2017), estimating the model by the local Palm likelihood. We provide methods and approaches accounting for the interaction among points, typically described by LGCP models through the estimation of the covariance parameters of the Gaussian Random Field, that in this local version are allowed to vary in space, providing a more realistic description of the clustering feature of seismic events. Furthermore, we contribute to the framework of diagnostics, outlining suitable methods for the local context and proposing a new step-wise approach addressing the particular case of multiple covariates. Overall, we show that local models provide good inferential results and could serve as the basis for future spatio-temporal local model developments, peculiar for the description of the complex seismic phenomenon.

    Description: In this paper, we propose a novel picking algorithm for the automatic P- and S-waves onset time determination. Our algorithm is based on the variance piecewise constant models of the earthquake waveforms. The effectiveness and robustness of our picking algorithm are tested both on synthetic seismograms and real data. We simulate seismic events with different magnitudes (between 2 and 5) recorded at different epicentral distances (between 10 and 250 km). For the application to real data, we analyse waveforms from the seismic sequence of L’Aquila (Italy), in 2009. The obtained results are compared with those obtained by the application of the classic STA/LTA picking algorithm. Although the two algorithms lead to similar results in the simulated scenarios, the proposed algorithm results in greater flexibility and automation capacity, as shown in the real data analysis. Indeed, our proposed algorithm does not require testing and optimization phases, resulting potentially very useful in earthquakes routine analysis for novel seismic networks or in regions whose earthquakes characteristics are unknown.

M., Harpp, K., Kurz, M. D., Wilson, E., & Van Kirk, R. Low-volume magmatism linked to flank deformation on Isla Santa Cruz, Galapagos Archipelago, using cosmogenic He-3 exposure and Ar-40/Ar-39 dating of fault scarps and lavas. Bulletin of Volcanology, 84(9),(2022): 82, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-022-01575-3.
    Description: Isla Santa Cruz is a volcanic island located in the central Galápagos Archipelago. The island’s northern and southern flanks are deformed by E–W-trending normal faults not observed on the younger Galápagos shields, and Santa Cruz lacks the large summit calderas that characterize those structures. To construct a chronology of volcanism and deformation on Santa Cruz, we employ 40Ar/39Ar geochronology of lavas and 3He exposure dating of fault scarps from across the island. The combination of Ar–Ar dating with in situ-produced cosmogenic exposure age data provides a powerful tool to evaluate fault chronologies. The 40Ar/39Ar ages indicate that the island has been volcanically active since at least 1.62 ± 0.030 Ma (2SD). Volcanism deposited lavas over the entire island until ~ 200 ka, when it became focused along an E–W-trending summit vent system; all dated lavas 〈 200 ka were emplaced on the southern flank. Structural observations suggest that the island has experienced two major faulting episodes. Crosscutting relationships of lavas indicate that north flank faults formed after 1.16 ± 0.070 Ma, but likely before 416 ± 36 ka, whereas the faults on the southern flank of the island initiated between 201 ± 37 and 32.6 ± 4.6 ka, based on 3He exposure dating of fault surfaces. The data are consistent with a model wherein the northeastern faults are associated with regional extension owing to the young volcano’s location closer to the Galápagos Spreading Center at the time. The second phase of volcanism is contemporaneous with the formation of the southern faults. The expression of this younger, low-volume volcanic phase was likely related to the elongate island morphology established during earlier deformation. The complex feedback between tectonic and volcanic processes responsible for southward spreading along the southern flank likely generated persistent E-W-oriented magmatic intrusions. The formation of the Galápagos Transform Fault and sea-level fluctuations may be the primary causes of eruptive and deformational episodes on Santa Cruz.

Skinny kelp (Saccharina angustissima) provides valuable genetics for the biomass improvement of farmed sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima).

    Description: Saccharina latissima (sugar kelp) is one of the most widely cultivated brown marine macroalgae species in the North Atlantic and the eastern North Pacific Oceans. To meet the expanding demands of the sugar kelp mariculture industry, selecting and breeding sugar kelp that is best suited to offshore farm environments is becoming necessary. To that end, a multi-year, multi-institutional breeding program was established by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Macroalgae Research Inspiring Novel Energy Resources (MARINER) program. Hybrid sporophytes were generated using 203 unique gametophyte cultures derived from wild-collected Saccharina spp. for two seasons of farm trials (2019–2020 and 2020–2021). The wild sporophytes were collected from 10 different locations within the Gulf of Maine (USA) region, including both sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) and the skinny kelp species (Saccharina angustissima). We harvested 232 common farm plots during these two seasons with available data. We found that farmed kelp plots with skinny kelp as parents had an average increased yield over the mean (wet weight 2.48 ± 0.90 kg m−1 and dry weight 0.32 ± 0.10 kg m−1) in both growing seasons. We also found that blade length positively correlated with biomass in skinny kelp x sugar kelp crosses or pure sugar kelp crosses. The skinny x sugar progenies had significantly longer and narrower blades than the pure sugar kelp progenies in both seasons. Overall, these findings suggest that sugar x skinny kelp crosses provide improved yield compared to pure sugar kelp crosses.

    Description: Half a century ago, our view of the Earth shifted from that of a Planet with fixed continents and ancient stable ocean basins to one with wandering continents and young, active ocean basins, reviving Wegener’s Continental Drift that had rested dormant for years. The lithosphere is the external, mostly solid and relatively rigid layer of the Earth, with thickness and composition different below the oceans and within the continents. We will review the processes leading to the generation and evolution of the Earth’s lithosphere that lies beneath the oceans. We will discuss how the oceanic lithosphere is generated along mid-ocean ridges due to upwelling of convecting hot mantle. We will consider in particular lithosphere generation occurring along the northern Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) from Iceland to the equator, including the formation of transform offsets. We will then focus on the Vema fracture zone at 10°–11° N, where a ~ 300 km long uplifted and exposed sliver of lithosphere allows to reconstruct the evolution of lithosphere generation at a segment of the MAR from 25 million years ago to the Present. This axial ridge segment formed 50 million years ago, and reaches today 80 km in length. The degree of melting of the subridge mantle increased from 16 million years ago to today, although with some oscillations. The mantle presently upwelling beneath the MAR becomes colder and/or less fertile going from Iceland to the Equator, with “waves” of hot/fertile mantle migrating southwards from the Azores plume. Scientific revolutions seem to occur periodically in the history of Science; we wonder when the next revolution will take place in the Earth Science, and to what extent our present views will have to be modified

    Description: We investigate the impact of viscoelastic tidal deformation of the Moon on the motion of a polar orbiter. The dissipative effects in the Moon’s interior, i.e., tidal phase lags, are modeled as Fourier series sampled at given frequencies associated with linear combinations of Delaunay arguments, the fundamental parameters describing the lunar motion around the Earth and the Sun. We implement the tidal model to evaluate the temporal lunar gravity field and the induced perturbation on the orbiter. We validate the numerical scheme via a frequency analysis of the perturbed orbital motion. We show that, in the case of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter at a low altitude of less than 200 km, the main lunar tides and hence the potential Love numbers around the monthly and some multiple frequencies are dynamically separable. The omission of those effects in practice introduces a position error at the level of a few decimeters within 10 days.

    Description: The name peperino derives from the Italian word pepe (pepper) and has been used in the common language for lithified volcanic deposits characterized by grey to dark grey color and granular texture, resembling that of ground pepper. Among these, the best-known examples are represented by some phreatomagmatic deposits of the Colli Albani Volcanic District, near Rome, and ignimbrite deposits of the Cimini Mountains near Viterbo (Northern Latium), which have been widely employed in artifacts of historical and archaeological interest. In particular, these resistant volcanic rocks have been widely employed by the Etruscans and Romans since the 7 th century BCE to produce sarcophagi and dimension stones, as well as architectural and ornamental elements in central Italy up to the present.

    Description: Changes in ocean heat content (OHC), salinity, and stratification provide critical indicators for changes in Earth’s energy and water cycles. These cycles have been profoundly altered due to the emission of greenhouse gasses and other anthropogenic substances by human activities, driving pervasive changes in Earth’s climate system. In 2022, the world’s oceans, as given by OHC, were again the hottest in the historical record and exceeded the previous 2021 record maximum. According to IAP/CAS data, the 0–2000 m OHC in 2022 exceeded that of 2021 by 10.9 ± 8.3 ZJ (1 Zetta Joules = 1021 Joules); and according to NCEI/NOAA data, by 9.1 ± 8.7 ZJ. Among seven regions, four basins (the North Pacific, North Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea, and southern oceans) recorded their highest OHC since the 1950s. The salinity-contrast index, a quantification of the “salty gets saltier–fresh gets fresher” pattern, also reached its highest level on record in 2022, implying continued amplification of the global hydrological cycle. Regional OHC and salinity changes in 2022 were dominated by a strong La Niña event. Global upper-ocean stratification continued its increasing trend and was among the top seven in 2022

    Description: This study investigates site effects for developing predictive models of site response, for both research purposes and future geognostic applications, by using a statistical analysis method to define possible correlations between different kinds of seismological and geological data. The test area is the intermontane Montereale basin (Abruzzo region, Italy), which was investigated for site effects studies and microzonation purposes because it has been affected by the 2016–2017 Central Italy seismic sequence. The available geological and geophysical information include geological profiles, thickness and geometry of the sedimentary infilling, shear-wave velocity profiles, downhole and borehole data. Seismological analysis (such as earthquake and noise spectral ratios, duration lengthening of seismic signals) has been performed to retrieve parameters useful for seismic response. A GIS database has been created to better manage all this information, by georeferencing all the measurement points and results. Finally, Factor Analysis multivariate technique was used to evaluate the most important site effect indicators, in terms of correlation between the involved parameters, and to deduce how the geological context influences their behavior. The performed analysis highlighted the statistical variability of the strong motion, that depends on the position inside the basin, over the Holocene deposits, and on the edges, at the limit between different lithologies. Moreover, some of the correlations between geological and geophysical indicators are strongly coherent with the basin geological features.

    Description: Risks determined by natural phenomena cannot be cancelled entirely but can be reduced by minimizing their destructive effects. At present, scientists can predict, though with a certain degree of uncertainty, the onset and the evolution over time of most natural events. Scientific progress provides societies with advanced tools and methods to defend people, such as predictive models, monitoring instruments, early warning systems, and safe building standards. Nevertheless, the defence against natural risks should consider the ethical and social aspects involved in a risk scenario: this is fundamental to help the human community recover after a disaster and support science to identify possible solutions for an acceptable living with natural phenomena. Geoethics promotes the reflection on values that should guide human interaction with the territory and the associated and interlinked individual and collective responsibilities. Geoethics discusses issues and practices in natural risk management and fosters geoeducation and risk communication as a means to improve societal resilience.

    Description: The management of multiple hazards simultaneously impacting on a territory is a challenge for effective risk mitigation. This is particularly true on active volcanoes like Mt. Etna, characterized by effusive and explosive eruptions, often coupled with an intense seismic activity. This work aims at presenting the approach of the PANACEA project on the treatment of multi-hazards in terms of risk, which requires a common definition of the exposed elements and their vulnerability. Another aspect emerging from the recent and historical volcanic crises at Etna, is the occurrence of cascading effects and the problem of assessing their short-term interactions. Here we present a risk model taking into account a set of sequences of hazardous events which may result from a volcano unrest to possible impacts to some infrastructural elements. The outcomes of the project are intended to be a significant step towards a more comprehensive resilience to volcanic disasters, leading to a more safe society.

    Description: Five tephra layers named BRH1 to 5 were sampled in an ice cliff located on the north-eastern flank of Mount Melbourne (northern Victoria Land, Antarctica). The texture, componentry, mineralogy, and major and trace element compositions of glass shards have been used to characterize these layers. These properties suggest that they are primary fall deposits produced from discrete eruptions that experienced varying degrees of magma/water interaction. The major and trace element glass shard analyses on single glass shards indicate that Mount Melbourne Volcanic Field is the source of these tephra layers and the geochemical diversity highlights that the eruptions were fed by compositionally diverse melts that are interpreted to be from a complex magma system with a mafic melt remobilizing more evolved trachy-andesitic to trachytic magma pockets. Geochemical compositions, along with textural and mineralogical data, have allowed correlations between two of the englacial tephra and distal cryptotephra from Mount Melbourne, recovered within a marine sediment core in the Edisto Inlet (~ 280 km northeast of Mount Melbourne), and constrain the age of these englacial tephra layers to between the third and the fourth century CE. This work provides new evidence of the intense historical explosive activity of the Mount Melbourne Volcanic Field and better constrains the rates of volcanism in northern Victoria Land. These data grant new clues on the eruptive dynamics and tephra dispersal, and considerably expand the geochemical (major and trace elements) dataset available for the Mount Melbourne Volcanic Field. In the future, this will facilitate the precise identification of tephra layers from this volcanic source and will help define the temporal and spatial correlation between Antarctic records using tephra layers. Finally, this work also yields new valuable time-stratigraphic marker horizons for future dating, synchronization, and correlations of different palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic records across large regions of Antarctica.

    Description: Lifelines, such as pipelines, roads, and tunnels, are critical infrastructure and when crossing active tectonic faults, a reliable estimation of the fault displacement in case of an earthquake is required. The first and simplest approach is to use empirical fault scaling relations to compute the design fault displacement, but this may result in an unknown level of safety. Thus, the probabilistic fault displacement hazard analysis (PFDHA) is the appropriate tool to assess the fault displacement hazard within a performance-based framework. Based upon an established PFDHA model, we present a simplified approach for engineering applications focusing on the lifeline–fault crossing along with appropriate simplifications and assumptions to extend its applicability to numerous faults. The aim is to provide a structure-independent approach of PFDHA that can be used when a site-specific study is not required, not possible (e.g., absence of recent sediments for dating past events), or too cumbersome, e.g., for lifeline route selection. Additionally, an in-depth investigation is presented on the key parameters, such as maximum earthquake magnitude, fault length, recurrence rate of all earthquakes above a minimum magnitude, and lifeline-fault crossing site, and how they affect the hazard level. This approach will be the basis for deriving hazard-consistent expressions to approximate fault displacement for use within the Eurocodes. The latter is intended to serve as a compromise between hazard-agnostic fault scaling relations and a comprehensive PFDHA, which requires detailed calculations and site-specific seismological data.

    Description: We have selected 28 deep wells in the Southern Apennine area, most of which are located along and around the Val d’Agri Basin. The Southern Apennines, one of the most seismically active regions of the Italian peninsula, is a NE-verging fold-andthrust belt characterised by the Meso–Cenozoic Apulia carbonate duplex system overlain by a thick column of Apennine carbonate platform and Lagonegro basin units. These units are unconformably covered by Neogene siliciclastic successions. Among the many Quaternary tectonic basins in the area, the Val d’Agri Basin is the most important intramontane depression, and is bordered by a * NW–SE-trending active fault system that represents one of the main seismogenic structures of the region. Moreover, the Val d’Agri Basin is the largest onshore oil field basin in Europe. In this context, we have analysed sonic log records from 28 deep wells and compared them with the corresponding stratigraphy and the other geophysical logs. We have obtained detailed measurements of the P-wave velocity (Vp) for each well from 0 to * 6 km depth, and found important lateral variations of Vp over very small distances. From these values, we have retrieved the densities of the main units crossed by the wells and the range of the overburden gradient in this area.

    Description: Ground deformation in volcanic areas induced by geothermal fluid circulation can reveal useful information about the dynamical processes occurring in the subsurface hydrothermal system. In the present work, we investigate tiltmeter time-series recorded at Aso Volcano during 2011–2016, a time interval during which different phases of volcanic activity occurred. We performed polarization analysis of the data and identified peculiar long-lasting (hours) transients, defined as Very-Long-period Tilt Pulses. The transients were further characterized in terms of waveform cross-correlation, particle tilt pattern, energy, and time distributions. The analyses indicate that such signals, which appear like deflation–inflation (DI) events, are associated with a Poissonian process whose underlying dynamics evolves over time always driven by a Poissonian mechanism. The obtained results have been interpreted in light of the available geophysical, geochemical and volcanological information. In this framework, the Very-Long-period Tilt Pulses may be ascribed to the depressurization/pressurization of the shallow hydrothermal system according to a fault-valve mechanism, which was active with different efficiency throughout eruptive and inter-eruptive phases.

    Description: Bearing in mind the destructive potential of tsunamis induced by volcanic landslides, the tsunamigenic event occurring at Stromboli volcano in Italy on 30 December 2002 has been reexamined here, by means of visible images and slope stability analysis. This was one of the few examples in the world of a flank collapse occurring at a volcano that was directly observed. We present the results of stability analyses, together with a sequence of photos collected from a helicopter a few minutes before the collapse. The result of this study is that the sequence of landslides triggering the 2002 Stromboli tsunami can be defined as the final stage of a lateral magma intrusion that exerted a high thrust at high altitude, destabilizing the entire slope. This study allows a more complete understanding of the event that took place on Stromboli on 30 December 2002. Furthermore, the approach used here, if appropriately modified, can be used in other contexts, contributing to the understanding of the condition that leads to tsunamigenic landslides

    Description: In statistical seismology, the Epidemic Type Aftershocks Sequence (ETAS) model is a branching process used world-wide to forecast earthquake intensity rates and reproduce many statistical features observed in seismicity catalogs. In this paper, we describe a fractional differential equation that governs the earthquake intensity rate of the pure temporal ETAS model by using the Caputo fractional derivative and we solve it analytically. We highlight that the tools and special functions of fractional calculus simplify the classical methods employed to obtain the intensity rate and let us describe the change of solution decay for large times.We also apply and discuss the theoretical results to the Japanese catalog in the period 1965-2003.

    Description: Infrasound signals are used to investigate and monitor active volcanoes during eruptive and degassing activity. Infrasound amplitude information has been used to estimate eruptive parameters such as plume height, magma discharge rate, and lava fountain height. Active volcanoes are characterized by pronounced topography and, during eruptive activity, the topography can change rapidly, affecting the observed infrasound amplitudes. While the interaction of infrasonic signals with topography has been widely investigated over the past decade, there has been limited work on the impact of changing topography on the infrasonic amplitudes. In this work, the infrasonic signals accompanying 57 lava fountain paroxysms at Mt. Etna (Italy) during 2021 were analyzed. In particular, the temporal and spatial variations of the infrasound amplitudes were investigated. During 2021, significant changes in the topography around the most active crater (the South East Crater) took place and were reconstructed in detail using high resolution imagery from unoccupied aerial system surveys. Through analysis of the observed infrasound signals and numerical simulations of the acoustic wavefield, we demonstrate that the observed spatial and temporal variation in the infrasound signal amplitudes can largely be explained by the combined effects of changes in the location of the acoustic source and changes in the near-vent topography, together with source acoustic amplitude variations. This work demonstrates the importance of accurate source locations and high-resolution topographic information, particularly in the near-vent region where the topography is most likely to change rapidly and illustrates that changing topography should be considered when interpreting local infrasound observations over long time scales.

    Description: Natural thermal and mineral waters are widely distributed along the Hellenic region and are related to the geodynamic regime of the country. The diverse lithological and tectonic settings they are found in reflect the great variability in their chemical and isotopic composition. The current study presents 276 (published and unpublished) trace element water data and discusses the sources and processes affecting the water by taking into consideration the framework of their geographic distribution. The dataset is divided in groups using temperature- and pH-related criteria. Results yield a wide range of concentrations, often related to the solubility properties of the individual elements and the factors impacting them (i.e. temperature, acidity, redox conditions and salinity). Many elements (e.g. alkalis, Ti, Sr, As and Tl) present a good correlation with temperature, which is in cases impacted by water rock interactions, while others (e.g. Be, Al, Cu, Se, Cd) exhibit either no relation or an inverse correlation with T possibly because they become oversaturated at higher temperatures in solid phases. A moderately constant inverse correlation is noticed for the vast majority of trace elements and pH, whereas no relationship between trace element concentrations and Eh was found. Seawater contamination and water-rock interaction seem to be the main natural processes that influence both salinity and elemental content. All in all, Greek thermomineral waters exceed occasionally the accepted limits representing in such cases serious harm to the environment and probably indirectly (through the water cycle) to human health.

    Description: The Campi Flegrei volcanic system is certainly a remarkable case study for what concerns magma chamber dynamics. In fact, its magmatic and volcanic history appears to have been largely driven by chamber processes like fractional crystallization, magma mixing, and volatile degassing. These processes have been intensely investigated with a variety of approache s. Here we employ physico- mathematical modelling and numerical simulations in order to study the dynamics of magma convection and mixing in a vertically extended, geometrically complex, compositionally heterogeneous magmatic system representing a schematic simplification of an overall picture emerging from previous studies at Campi Flegrei . Although clearly a simplification, a number of first order characteristics of possible real magmatic systems at Campi Flegrei are accounted for, including the more chemically evolved, partially degassed nature of magmas emplaced at shallow depths, and the likely occurrence of multiple reservoirs with different depth, size and shape which can be connected at certain stages during system evolution, allowing deeper, CO 2 -rich magmas to rise and rejuvenate the shallow magmas.

    Description: In a volcanic crisis, authorized decision-makers must balance the social and economic costs of mitigating actions, such as evacuation, against the potential human losses if such actions are insufficient. In making their decisions, advice is needed from volcanologists on the eruption probability. Therefore, there should be a clear separation in the roles of volcanologists and decision-makers; the volcanologists should advise on the volcano hazard and alternative potential scenarios but refrain from involvement in making decisions. Currently, volcanologists are responsible for setting volcano alert levels. Given the small handful of distinct alert levels, there is inherent ambiguity and substantial uncertainty in the interpretation of individual levels. Furthermore, changing an alert level may automatically trigger actions by decision-makers. This would violate the principle of separation of responsibility and may result in unwelcome pressure being applied to volcanologists. Just as physicians can invoke medical ethics in resisting pressure to alter their advice, so volcanologists can invoke geoethics. Freedom to abide by their scientific beliefs is a basic tenet of geoethics.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A verification of the prognostic formula for predicting the height profile of the 500 mb pressure surface at a fixed latitude derived byCharney andEliassen shows that a practical application is limited at least for the period under consideration (January 1949). Only in case of relatively small perturbations and rather uniform current along the latitude circle the formula seems to be successful in day-to-day forecast procedures.
    Abstract: Résumé Une vérification portant sur le mois de janvier 1949 de la formule pronostique établie parCharney etEliassen et applicable aux variations de la surface de 500 mb. le long d'un parallèle géographique déterminé montre que son emploi dans la pratique de la prévision du temps est encore douteux. Ce n'est que dans le cas d'une composante zonale du vent à peu près uniforme et lors de petites perturbations correspondantes qu'une prévision calculée de la tendance de pression de l'onde supérieure de pression en un lieu déterminé semble possible.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Eine Überprüfung der vonCharney undEliassen abgeleiteten Prognosenformel für Änderungen der 500 mb-Fläche entlang einer bestimmten geographischen Breite ergibt, daß in den untersuchten Fällen (Januar 1949) eine Verwendung im praktischen Wetterdienst noch fraglich ist. Nur bei verhältnismäßig einheitlicher zonaler Windkomponente und bei entsprechend kleinen Störungen scheint eine Vorausberechnung der Drucktendenz der „oberen” Druckwelle für einen bestimmten Ort mit Hilfe der Formel möglich zu sein.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary First a brief survey is given of the wind effect on the phenomena of rising and ebbing water masses on the oceanic coasts. Particularly, the results obtained byH. U. Sverdrup andR. H. Fleming from successive oceanographic measurements of a profile perpendicular to the Californian coast are discussed. From them a convenient scheme is concluded for the development of cold coastal water out of a preceding stage of warm water. The great number of observation data of the Marine Life Research Programe obtained ever since 1949 by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California) at La Jolla from monthly oceanographic measurements of the area off the North American western coast allows a deeper insight into the important phenomenon of upwelling cold water in the area. A preliminary study of two opposite situations of rising and ebbing water masses showed the wind disturbance to consist of two parts: 1. of a disturbance of the ground distribution which generates the regular Californian current, the disturbance consisting in generally weakening or intensifying this current; 2. of a wave disturbance perpendicular to the coast proceeding from the rising, respectively ebbing coastal water masses. These relations could be established quantitatively by a simple theoretical model. A theoretical case with numerical values approximately corresponding to the conditions off the Californian coast showed good agreement with the observed facts.
    Abstract: Résumé On donne tout d'abord un court aperçu de l'effet du vent sur le flux et le reflux de masses d'eau sur les côtes océaniques. On expose en particulier les résultats obtenus parH. U. Sverdrup etR. H. Fleming à l'aide de profils successifs, normaux à la côte californienne. Ils fournissent un schéma convenable pour la formation d'une masse d'eau côtière froide dérivant d'un stade préalable d'eaux chaudes. Le grand matériel d'observations du Marine Life Research programme obtenu depuis 1949 par la Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California, La Jolla) sous forme de relevés océanographiques mensuels du domaine marin de la côte occidentale de l'Amérique du Nord permettra d'approfondir nos connaissances sur le phénomène de l'advection ascensionnelle d'eau froide important en ces régions. Une étude préliminaire de deux situations opposées de flux et de reflux de masses d'eau a montré que l'effet du vent se décompose en: 1o une perturbation de la répartition de base donnant naissance au courant régulier de Californie et qui consiste à affaiblir ou à renforcer respectivement ce courant; 2o une perturbation de nature ondulatoire, perpendiculaire à la côte, provenant du flux ou du reflux des masses d'eau le long de la côte. Un modèle théorique simple a permis de soumettre ces relations au calcul, et la comparaison d'un cas théorique dont les dimensions correspondaient approximativement aux conditions régnant devant la côte californienne a fourni un bon accord avec les faits observés.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Einleitend wird eine kurze Übersicht der Wirkung der Winde beim Zustandekommen der Erscheinungen des Anstaues und Abtriebes von Wassermassen an ozeanischen Küsten gegeben. Insbesondere werden die Ergebnisse vonH. U. Sverdrup undR. H. Fleming besprochen, die sie aus aufeinanderfolgenden ozeanographischen Aufnahmen eines Profils senkrecht zur kalifornischen Küste gewonnen haben. Sie ergeben ein passendes Schema für die Entwicklung eines kalten Küstenwassers aus einem Vorstadium mit warmem Wasser. Das große Beobachtungsmaterial des Marine Life Research Programs, das seit 1949 von der Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California) in La Jolla in monatlichen ozeanographischen Aufnahmen des Meeresgebietes vor der nordamerikanischen Westküste gewonnen wird, wird die Kenntnisse des für diese Gebiete wichtigen Kaltwasserauftriebsphänomens wesentlich zu vertiefen gestatten. Eine vorläufige Bearbeitung zweier konträrer Situationen von Anstau und Abtrieb von Wassermassen zeigte, daß die Windstörung aus zwei Teilen besteht: 1. Aus einer Störung der Grundverteilung, der der reguläre kalifornische Strom entspringt und die in einer allgemeinen Schwächung bzw. Verstärkung desselben besteht, und 2. aus einer Wellenstörung senkrecht zur Küste, die von Anstau bzw. Abtrieb der Wassermassen an der Küste ihren Ausgang nimmt. Ein einfaches theoretisches Modell ließ diese Zusammenhänge zahlenmäßig erfassen, und ein Vergleich eines theoretischen Falles mit Zahlenwerten, die ungefähr den Verhältnissen vor der kalifornischen Küste entsprechen, mit den Beobachtungstatsachen ergab gute Übereinstimmung.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The relatively big thermal mass of radio-sondes as compared with their thermometer, can falsify the measurement of the temperature above 7 to 8 km., what is called the thermal “training effect”, (lag effect); this effect has been described in the Annals of the Swiss Central Meteorological Institute [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. The present paper shows the influence of the training effect on the former Swiss official sonde. The difference of temperature has been measured by means of a series of soundings where this type was coupled at the same balloon with a special sonde where this effect had been avoided.

L'article présent décrit l'influence du trainage thermique sur l'ancienne sonde du service suisse. II a été mesuré à l'aide d'une série de sondage, en comparant l'indication de température de cette sonde, avec celle d'une sonde spéciale dénuée de trainage thermique et suspendue au même ballon.

In vorliegender Arbeit wird der Einfluß dieses Effektes auf die frühere schweizerische Dienstsonde gemessen. Zu diesem Zwecke wurde dieser Sondentyp jeweils zusammen mit einer Spezialsonde am gleichen Ballon gestartet und die Temperaturdifferenz in Funktion der Höhe bestimmt.

I. D.) Ozonmessungen angestellt. Unter der Annahme, daß an den Tagen mit S. I. D. das Verhältnis der Intensität der extraterrestrischen Sonnenstrahlung bei 3110 Å zu der bei 3300 Å konstant bleibt, findet man, daß die gleichzeitigen Ozonänderungen entweder sehr klein sind oder ganz fehlen, was in Übereinstimmung mit dem theoretisch zu erwartenden Verhalten ist.
    Abstract: Résumé Pour examiner l'effet de croissance de la radiation solaire ultraviolette sur l'ozone total atmosphérique, des mesures de l'ozone ont été faites pendant certains jours avec des perturbations ionosphériques brusques (Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances, S.

Si l'on suppose que le quotient de l'intensité extra-terrestre du rayonnement solaire pour λ-3110 Å à celle pour λ=3300 Å est constant, on constate que les variations de l'ozone coïncidentes avec les S. I. D. sont petites ou manquent complètement ce qui est en bon accord qualitatif avec la théorie.
    Notes: Summary In order to investigate the effect of increased solar ultraviolet radiation on total atmospheric ozone, ozone observations have been made during sudden ionospheric disturbances (S. I. D.). If one can assume that the ratio of the extraterrestrial intensity of sunlight at 3110 Å to that at 3300 Å (the wavelengths observed by the measuring instrument) remains unchanged during days with S. I. D., it is found that ozone changes associated with S. I. D. s are small or absent, in agreement with qualitative theoretical expectation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary On the basis of numerous observations it is shown that theF 2 layer ionisation has a pronounced half-year periodicity. Amplitude and phase of these variations underly various influences and, above all, depend in a determined way on the observation stations. An attempt is made to explain this annual double-period by the rather obvious assumption that the UV-intensity of the solar radiation depends on latitude and is smaller on the solar equator than in medium heliographic latitudes. Thereby, not only the double-period of the critical frequencies, but also the hitherto uncleared double-period of the apparent layer heights can be accounted for.
    Abstract: Résumé Se fondant sur un important matériel d'observations, on prouve que l'ionisation de la coucheF 2 présente une période semi-annuelle accusée. L'amplitude et la phase de cette variation sont soumises à différentes influences et dépendent en particulier de la position des stations d'observation. On tente d'expliquer cette période semi-annuelle en faisant l'hypothèse, en soi très vraisemblable, que l'intensité du rayonnement solaire ultra-violet dépend de la latitude héliaque et qu'elle est plus faible à l'équateur solaire qu'aux latitudes moyennes. Cela permet d'expliquer non seulement la période double des fréquences critiques, mais encore la période double jusqu'ici inexpliquée des hauteurs apparentes des couches ionisées.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung An Hand zahlreichen Beobachtungsmaterials wird der Nachweis erbracht, daß dieF 2-Schicht-Ionisation eine ausgeprägte halbjährige Periodizität besitzt. Amplitude und Phase dieser Schwankungen unterliegen verschiedenen Einflüssen, so sind sie vor allem in bestimmter Weise von den Beobachtungsstationen abhängig. Es wird versucht, eine Erklärung für diese jährliche Doppelperiode zu geben, und zwar in der Weise, daß die an sich ja sehr naheliegende Annahme gemacht wird, daß die UV-Intersität der Sonne breitenabhängig ist und am Sonnenäquator geringer ist als in mittleren heliographischen Breiten. Damit kann nicht nur die Doppelperiode der kritischen Frequenzen erklärt werden, sondern es wird auch die bisher ungeklärte Doppelperiode der scheinbaren Schichthöhen verständlich.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Meteorology, oceanography and astrophysics have to deal with wide, there and back flowing motions of “exchange” (less characterized in the word “turbulence”) which are caused in a rotating system by supply of heat (mostly insolation) and are associated with a surface rotating with it, e. g. the surface of the earth, or with another gliding surface. In treating these motions and mixings, moved by heat effects, like an “isotropic” turbulence (where the two co-ordinates are equivalent) they get deprived of their essential properties. For, the impetus of heat mostly involves a preferred axis of the exchange movements; the turbulence quanta chiefly are pushed in both directions of this predominating axis (Chap. I). Such (two-dimensional) turbulent exchanges cause a characteristic transport of impulses. These are carried in both directions of the axis of preference. This transport is computed, in chapter II, on the assumption that the individual quantum of exchange does not form by its motion an own field of pressure (“exchange of mass points”), in chapter III without this restriction (“exchange by gradient wind”). Therefore in meteorology the so-called “geostrophic” winds may be considered in this sense as turbulent exchange motions of the atmosphere. Finally, in chapter IV, the conditions are examined, from which depends the “vorticity” of the individual exchange quanta in the atmosphere (and in the sea), if friction and mixing are excluded. It is shown that in this case the big rotating exchange quanta keep almost unaltered their “vorticity” (the vertical component of the “curl” of the absolute velocity). The two-dimensional theory of exchange, which may be applied in many problems of geophysics and astrophysics, holds good with regard to the planetary circulation of the earth's atmosphere. In taking into consideration also the friction on the soil, it is possible to insert in a general aspect of all phenomena of circulation the precious results ofC. G. Rossby and his collaborators as to the general circulation of the upper layers (Chap. V).
    Abstract: Résumé En météorologie, en océanographie et en astrophysique on a affaire à de vastes «mouvements d'échange», courants çà et là, connus sous le terme moins adéquat de «turbulence», engendrés dans un système en rotation par des sources de chaleur (en général le rayonnement) et qui sont liés à une surface en rotation comme par exemple la surface terrestre ou quelque surface de glissement. Si l'on traite ces mouvements et mélanges d'origine calorique comme turbulence «isotrope» (pour laquelle les deux coordonnées sont équivalentes), on les dépouille de leurs caractères essentiels, car la source de chaleur impose en général aux mouvements d'échange turbulents un axe préférentiel selon lequel les quanta de turbulence sont principalement activés (Chap. I). De tels mouvements d'échange turbulents (à deux dimensions) créent un transport d'impulse caractéristique. Ce transport va dans les deux directions de l'axe préférentiel. Il est calculé dans ce qui suit, tout d'abord (Chap. II) en admettant que chaque quantum d'échange ne crée pas de champ propre de pression par son mouvement, puis sans cette restriction (Chap. III). Les vents appelés «géostrophiques» peuvent donc être considérés dans ce sens comme des mouvements d'échange turbulent de l'atmosphère. Enfin on étudie les conditions auxquelles est soumise la rotation propre («vorticity») des quanta d'échange individuels dans l'atmosphère (et dans la mer) lorsque l'on exclut le frottement et le mélange. On trouve que dans ce cas les grands quanta d'échange rotationnels conservent presque inchangée leur «vorticity» (Chap. IV). La théorie d'échange turbulent à deux dimensions qui trouve son application dans maints domaines de la géophysique et de l'astrophysique s'applique en premier lieu à la circulation «planétaire» de l'atmosphère terrestre. Si l'on tient compte du frottement au sol, on peut introduire les précieux résultats obtenus parC. G. Rossby et ses collaborateurs sur la circulation générale des hautes couches dans une vue d'ensemble de tous les phénomènes de circulation (Chap. V).
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Meteorologie, Ozeanographie und Astrophysik haben es mit weiträumigen “Austauschbewegungen” (weniger treffend “Turbulenz” genannt) zu tun, welche in einem rotierenden System durch Wärmewirkungen (meist Bestrahlung) entstehen und an eine mitrotierende Fläche, z. B. an die Erdoberfläche oder an eine andere Gleitfläche gebunden sind. Wenn man diese, durch Wärmewirkungen angetriebenen Bewegungen und Vermischungen als “isotrope” Turbulenz (bei der beide Koordinaten gleichberechtigt sind) behandelt, so entkleidet man sie ihrer wesentlichen Eigenschaften. Denn meistens bedingt der Wärmeantrieb eine bevorzugte Achse der Austauschbewegungen; die Turbulenzquanten werden überwiegend in beiden Richtungen dieser “Vorzugsachse” angestoßen (Kap. I). Derartige (zweidimensionale) Austauschbewegungen bewirken nun einen charakteristischen Transport der Drehimpulse. Dieser Transport fließt in Richtung der Vorzugsachse. Er wird nachstehend berechnet, und zwar zunächst (in Kap. II) unter der Voraussetzung, daß das einzelne Austauschquantum durch seine Bewegung kein eigenes Druckfeld erzeugt (“Massenpunktaustausch”), weiterhin (in Kap. III) ohne diese Einschränkung (“Gradientwindaustausch”). Die in der Meteorologie “geostrophisch” genannten Winde können also in diesem Sinne als “Austauschbewegungen” der Atmosphäre gelten. Schließlich werden die Bedingungen untersucht, denen die Eigenrotation (“vorticity”) der einzelnen (großen) Austauschquanten in der Atmosphäre (und im Meer) unterliegt, wenn Reibung und Vermischung ausgeschlossen werden. Es zeigt sich, daß in diesem Fall die großen rotierenden Austauschquanten ihre “vorticity” (die Vertikalkomponente des absoluten Geschwindigkeitsrotors) fast unverändert behalten (Kap. IV). Die zweidimensionale Austauschtheorie, die an und für sich auf vielen Gebieten der Geophysik und Astrophysik Anwendung finden kann, bewährt sich zunächst in bezug auf die “planetarische Zirkulation” der Erdatmosphäre. Wenn man die Reibung am Erdboden mitberücksichtigt, gelingt es, die wertvollen BefundeC. G. Rossbys und seiner Mitarbeiter hinsichtlich der allgemeinen Zirkulation höherer Schichten in eine Gesamtschau aller Zirkulationserscheinungen einzufügen (Kap. V).

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Observations concerning the obvious influence of varying water contents upon the specific resistance of the soil led to the construction of a new species of double-layer curves, assuming that the specific resistance of the uppermonst layer obeys an exponental law. These resistance curves are confornted with the known double and triple-layer curves and, by means of several examples, the erros of depth easurements caused by applying the latter curves are indicated. The position of their asymptotes results to be a determining factor for their classification. In different cases the divergences between geoelectric measurements and results of boring may be eliminated by making use of these new resistance curves.
    Abstract: Résumé Différentes observations d'une influence—prévisible a priori—de la teneur variable en eau sur la résistance spécifique dsu sol fournissent l'occasion d'établir de nouveaux types de courbes de résistance de couches doubles, dans l'hypothèse que la résistance des couches supérieures varie selon une loi exponentielle. On compare ces courbes de résistance aux courbes connues de couches doubles ou triples, et on donne des exemples d'errerus commises dans les indications de profondeur lorsqu'on les tire de ces courbes. Pour la classification des courbes la position des asymptotes est déterminante. On pourra peut-être sur la base de ces nouvelles courbes expliquer dans bien des cas les divergences existant entre les résultats de calculs de profondeur par des méthodes géoélectriques et ceux que donnent les forages directs.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Verschiedene Beobachtungen einer an sich schon naheliegenden Beeinflussung des speizifischen Widerstandes des Bodens durch wechselnden Wassergehalt bilden den Anlaß zur Konstruktion einer neuen Art von Zweischichtkurven unter der Annahme, daß der spezifische Widerstand der obersten Schichte nach einem exponentiellen Gesetz variiert. Diese Wiederstandskurven werden mit den bekannten Zweischicht-und Dreischichtkurven verglichen und an einigen Beispielen die Fehler angegeben, die man für die Tiefenangaben begeht, wenn man jene mit Hilfe der letzteren auswertet. Für ihre Klassifikation erweist sich die Lage ihrer Asymptoten als maßgebend. Durch diese neuen Widerstandskurven dürften vielleicht in manchen Fällen die Widersprüche zwischen den Ergebnissen der geoelektrischen Tiefenmessungen und der Bohrungen beseitigt werden können.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary After a comprehensive report on the dependance of weather elements (temperature, pressure, precipitation, thunderstorms) from the 11,2-respectively the 89-year-cycle of sun-spots, from the 5,6-year partial period and from the solar rotation period of 27 days, statistical connexions between thunderstorms, central meridian passages of sun-spots and isolated magnetic disturbances in Central Europe are examined for periods of little solar activity. The discussion leads to an effect of invasions of the undulatory radiation of the sun wich is indicated only imperfectly and with a delay of 2 to 3 days by magnetic character figures depending on corpuscular emissions. Then the pressure distribution in the environs of an isolated magnetic disturbance (352 cases) is investigated by means of punched cards. In the minimum and rise of sun-spot-cycle exists, 2 to 3 days before the magnetic disturbance, an area of rising pressure moving from northern Europe to SE and an area of falling pressure following from the British Isles to E. An assignment to seasons or to phases of the sun-spot-cycle leads to the same result, according to the quite similar results ofDuell (1948) andKoppe (1950). The limitation of precise correlations to the beginning of sun-spot-cycles is in accordance with former results of negative correlations between heliographic latitudes of active solar centres and atmospheric events.
    Abstract: Résumé On résume tout d'abord les faits connus concernant la relation entre les éléments météorologiques (température, pression, précipitations, orages) et les cycles de taches solaires de 11,2 respectivement de 89 ans, la période partielle de 5,6 ans ainsi que la période de rotation du soleil de 27 jours. On étudie ensuite par voie statistique les corrélations entre les orages, les passages des taches solaires au méridien central et les perturbations magnétiques isolées observées en Europe centrale aux époques de faible activité solaire. On conclut à un effect déclancheur des variations du rayonnement ondulatoire du soleil, lesquelles ne sont révélées qu'imparfaitement par les caractères magnétiques liés au rayonnement corpusculaire et n'apparaissant qu'avec un retard de deux à trois jours. On a en outre étudié la répartition de la pression au voisinage d'une perturbation magnétique isolée (352 cas au total) au moyen de cartes perforées. Lors d'un minimum de taches et à la montée du cycle des taches solaires il y a un noyau de hausse de pression naissant deux à trois jours avant la perturbation magnétique et qui se déplace du Nord de l'Europe vers le SE, tandis qu'un noyau de baisse le suit des Iles britanniques vers l'Est. Une analyse procédant par saisons ou par phases de taches solaires conduit au même résultat; le matériel deDüll (1948) et deKoppe (1950) fournit des résultats analogues. Le fait que des corrélations nettes ne s'observent qu'au début d'un cycle de taches solaires est en accord avec des études antérieures qui montraient une corrélation négative entre la latitude héliaque des foyers solaires et les phénomènes atmosphériques.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Nach zusammenfassendem Referat über die Abhängigkeit der Wetterelemente (Temperatur, Luftdruck, Niederschlag, Gewitter) vom 11,2-bzw. 89jährigen Sonnenfleckenzyklus, von der 5,6jährigen Unterperiode und von der 27tägigen Sonnenrotation werden die statistischen Zusammenhänge zwischen Gewittern, Meridianpassagen von Sonnenflecken und isoliert auftretenden magnetischen Störungen in Mitteleuropa in den Zeiten geringer Sonnenfleckentätigkeit untersucht. Die Diskussion führt auf eine auslösende Wirkung von Schwankungen (Invasionen) der solaren Wellenstrahlung, die von der auf Korpuskelemissionen ansprechenden magnetischen Charakterzahl nur unvollkommen und mit zwei bis drei tagen Verspätung wiedergegeben werden. Anschließend wird die Luftdruckverteilung in der Umgebung einer isolierten magnetischen Störung (insgesamt 352 Fälle) mittels Lochkarten untersucht. Während Minimum und Anstieg des Sonnen-fleckenzyklus ergab sich ein Drucksteiggebiet, das, jeweils zwei bis drei Tage vor der magnetischen Störung einsetzend, von Nordeuropa aus nach SE zog, während ein Druckfallgebiet von den Britischen Inseln nach E nachfolgte. Ein Aufgliederung nach Jahreszeiten oder nach Sonnenfleckenphasen lieferte das gleiche Resultat; sehr ähnliche Ergebnisse erbrachten an unabhängigem MaterialDüll (1948) undKoppe (1950). Die Beschränkung eindeutiger Zusammenhänge auf den Beginn eines Sonnenfleckenzyklus steht in Übereinstimmung mit den älteren Befunden über eine negative Korrelation zwischen der heliographischen Breite der solaren Herde und den atmosphärischen Vorgängen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Experiments have been carried out with the principal aim of investigating the electric charges of small ice-crystals being detached from hoar-frost layers. Breaking off of ice particles was studied microscopically under various experimental conditions. Down to 10−15 coul., charges of particles were measured quantitatively by valve electrometers, and smaller ones to 2.4·10−16 coul. in a more qualitative way by the deviation of falling particles in the transversal electric field. Big charges, with a maximum value of 2.5·10−14 coul., are rare. There is a strong increase of number of particles with decreasing charge of the single particle. Under 3.3·10−16 coul., however, frequency of particles remains constant. Contrary to an indication ofW. Findeisen, the number of positively charged particles is always seven times as great as that of the negative ones. The mean value of charge, positive or negative, carried by a single particle amounts to 7·10−16 coul. Starting from the polar structure of ice, an attempt has been made to explain the origin of these electric charges. It seems, however, that thunderstorm electricity cannot be accounted for by the process of breaking off of hoar-frost particles. To dateFindeisen's “granulation-effect” (Vergraupelungs-effekt) could not be verified up to now.
    Abstract: Résumé Le but principal de ce travail expérimental est l'étude des charges électriques apparaissant lorsque de petits cristaux de glace se détachent d'une couche de gelée blanche. On étudie en outre par voie microscopique la formation d'éclats de glace ainsi que l'influence de différentes conditions expérimentales sur le phénomène en question. On mesure exactement les charges d'éclats de glace jusqu'à 10−15 coul. à l'aide d'électromètre à amplificateurs électroniques et, avec moins de précision, des charges jusqu'à 2,4·10−16 coul. par la déviation de particules tombant dans un champ électrique transversal. De fortes charges atteignant 2,5·10−14 coul. sont rares. La fréquence d'apparition croît rapidement en raison inverse des charges de particules et reste constante à partir de 3,3·10−16 coul. Contrairement à une indication deW. Findeisen, le nombre des particules chargées positivement qui se détachent est toujours sept fois plus grand que celui des particules négatives. La charge moyenne de chaque signe portée par un éclat est d'environ 7·10−16 coul. On tente d'établir un schéma de la formation d'électricité provenant de la structure polarisée de la glace. Le processus par lequel la gelée blanche se réduit en éclats ne peut suffire à expliquer l'électricité des orages. L'effet dû à la formation du grésil (Vergraupelungseffekt) invoqué parFindeisen n'a pu jusqu'ici être confirmé.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hauptziel dieser Laboratoriumsarbeit ist die Untersuchung der elektrischen Ladungen, die bei der Ablösung kleiner Eiskriställchen aus Reifschichten auftreten. Daneben wird die Entstehung der Eissplitter mikroskopisch verfolgt sowie der Einfluß verschiedener Versuchsbedingungen auf den Vorgang studiert. Die Splitterladungen werden bis herab zu 10−15 Coul quantitativ durch Röhrenelektrometer, darunter bis zu 2,4·10−16 Coul mehr qualitativ durch Ablenkung fallender Teilchen im transversalen elektrischen Feld gemessen. Große Ladungen, maximal 2,5·10−14 Coul, sind selten. Die Häufigkeit wächst mit abnehmender Ladung des Einzelteilchens steil an und bleibt von 3,3·10−16 Coul an abwärts konstant. Durchweg und im Gegensatz zu einer Angabe vonW. Findeisen ist die Zahl der abbrechenden positiven Teilchen etwa siebenmal so groß als die der negativen. Für den Mittelwert der von einem Splitter getragenen Ladung jedes Vorzeichens finden sich etwa 7·10−16 Coul. — Es wird ein Deutungsversuch der Elektrizitätsentstehung angegeben, der von der polaren Struktur des Eises ausgeht. — Für die Erklärung der Gewitterelektrizität dűrfte der Reifabsplitterungsvorgang nicht ausreichen.Findeisens „Vergraupelungseffekt” konnte bisher nicht bestätigt werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract A new limnograph is described. Its advantages consist of an especially time saving portability. It is easy to set up, irrespective of the conditions of the shore. With this and two other instruments a survey of the standing waves (seiches) of the Achensee (Tyrol) was made. By applyingA. Defant's method for the computation of the periods, excellent agreement between theory and observations has been reached. As the water of the lake is supplying a power plant, its level is subjected to great yearly fluctuations. The computation of periods was made for two different levels. In one part of the lake with shallow water the distribution of amplitudes was found to differ from the theoretical values. From the amount of this deviation a constant of friction is derived. The southern end of the lake has the characteristics of a shelf which strongly influences the shape of the standing waves, as the theory shows. A very frequent seiche of the shelf with great amplitude is explained by means ofDu Bois' formula.
    Abstract: Résumé On décrit un limnigraphe qui se distingue par la facilité de son transport et de son installation, quelle que soit la nature de la rive. On a étudié les seiches de l'Achensee (Tyrol) au moyen de cet appareil et de deux autres. L'application de la méthode deA. Defant au calcul des périodes d'oscillation fournit des résultats parfaitement d'accord avec les faits. Le lac sert de réservoir hydraulique à une usine électrique et son niveau varie donc beaucoup, de sorte que le calcul fut mené pour deux niveaux différents. Dans une partie très peu profonde du lac on a constaté un comportement anormal des amplitudes par rapport à la théorie; l'écart permet le calcul d'une constante de frottement. L'extrémité sud du lac a le caractère d'une terrasse sous-marine dont on a pu prouver l'influence sur la forme des oscillations au moyen de la théorie. La formule deDu Bois permet d'expliquer une oscillation apparaissant fréquemment et avec une grande amplitude.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ein neuartiger Limnograph wird beschrieben. Seine Vorteile bestehen in einer besonders leichten und zeitsparenden Transportierbarkeit und Aufstellung, unabhängig von der Beschaffenheit des Ufers. Mit dem genannten und zwei weiteren Instrumenten wurden die Seiches des Achensees (Tirol) ermittelt. Die Anwendung der Methode vonA. Defant zur Berechnung der Schwingungsperioden liefert ausgezeichnete Übereinstimmung mit den Beobachtungen. Da der See als Kraftspeicher für ein Elektrizitätswerk dient, ist sein Wasserstand starken Änderungen unterworfen. Die Rechnung wurde für zwei verschiedene Niveaus durchgeführt. In einem Teil des Sees mit sehr geringer Wassertiefe wurde eine von der theoretisch geforderten abweichende Verteilung der Schwingungsamplituden festgestellt. Aus dem Betrag der Abweichung wird eine Reibungskonstante abgeleitet. Das südliche See-Ende besitzt den Charakter eines Schelfs, dessen bedeutender Einfluß auf die Schwingungsformen an Hand der Theorie nachgewiesen wird. Eine häufig und mit großer Amplitude auftretende Schelfschwingung wird mittels derDu Boisschen Formel erklärt.
