    Description: Between 2003-2016, the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) was one of the largest contributors to sea level rise, as it lost about 255 Gt of ice per year. This mass loss slowed in 2017 and 2018 to about 100 Gt yr−1. Here we examine further changes in rate of GrIS mass loss, by analyzing data from the GRACE-FO (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment – Follow On) satellite mission, launched in May 2018. Using simulations with regional climate models we show that the mass losses observed in 2017 and 2018 by the GRACE and GRACE-FO missions are lower than in any other two year period between 2003 and 2019, the combined period of the two missions. We find that this reduced ice loss results from two anomalous cold summers in western Greenland, compounded by snow-rich autumn and winter conditions in the east. For 2019, GRACE-FO reveals a return to high melt rates leading to a mass loss of 223 ± 12 Gt month−1 during the month of July alone, and a record annual mass loss of 532 ± 58 Gt yr−1.

    Description: Anaerobic oxidation of ammonium (anammox) in oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) is a major pathway of oceanic nitrogen loss. Ammonium released from sinking particles has been suggested to fuel this process. During cruises to the Peruvian OMZ in April–June 2017 we found that anammox rates are strongly correlated with the volume of small particles (128–512 µm), even though anammox bacteria were not directly associated with particles. This suggests that the relationship between anammox rates and particles is related to the ammonium released from particles by remineralization. To investigate this, ammonium release from particles was modelled and theoretical encounters of free-living anammox bacteria with ammonium in the particle boundary layer were calculated. These results indicated that small sinking particles could be responsible for ~75% of ammonium release in anoxic waters and that free-living anammox bacteria frequently encounter ammonium in the vicinity of smaller particles. This indicates a so far underestimated role of abundant, slow-sinking small particles in controlling oceanic nutrient budgets, and furthermore implies that observations of the volume of small particles could be used to estimate N-loss across large areas.

    Description: The methanogenic degradation of oil hydrocarbons can proceed through syntrophic partnerships of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and methanogenic archaea1,2,3. However, recent culture-independent studies have suggested that the archaeon ‘Candidatus Methanoliparum’ alone can combine the degradation of long-chain alkanes with methanogenesis4,5. Here we cultured Ca. Methanoliparum from a subsurface oil reservoir. Molecular analyses revealed that Ca. Methanoliparum contains and overexpresses genes encoding alkyl-coenzyme M reductases and methyl-coenzyme M reductases, the marker genes for archaeal multicarbon alkane and methane metabolism. Incubation experiments with different substrates and mass spectrometric detection of coenzyme-M-bound intermediates confirm that Ca. Methanoliparum thrives not only on a variety of long-chain alkanes, but also on n-alkylcyclohexanes and n-alkylbenzenes with long n-alkyl (C≥13) moieties. By contrast, short-chain alkanes (such as ethane to octane) or aromatics with short alkyl chains (C≤12) were not consumed. The wide distribution of Ca. Methanoliparum4,5,6 in oil-rich environments indicates that this alkylotrophic methanogen may have a crucial role in the transformation of hydrocarbons into methane.

    Description: The statistical properties of seismicity are known to be affected by several factors such as the rheological parameters of rocks. We analysed the earthquake double-couple as a function of the faulting type. Here we show that it impacts the moment tensors of earthquakes: thrust- faulting events are characterized by higher double-couple components with respect to strike- slip- and normal-faulting earthquakes. Our results are coherent with the stress dependence of the scaling exponent of the Gutenberg-Richter law, which is anticorrelated to the double- couple. We suggest that the structural and tectonic control of seismicity may have its origin in the complexity of the seismogenic source marked by the width of the cataclastic damage zone and by the slip of different fault planes during the same seismic event; the sharper and concentrated the slip as along faults, the higher the double-couple. This phenomenon may introduce bias in magnitude estimation, with possible impact on seismic forecasting.

    Notes: In this study, micro-Raman spectroscopy has been used to investigate the vibrational properties of laterally epitaxial overgrown (LEO) GaN. The LEO GaN films were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition on a 2 in. sapphire substrate with SiN mask. Photoluminescence and polarized Raman scattering measurements have been performed in the two regions of GaN growth (wing and window regions). Raman scattering results are consistent with the lateral growth of GaN in the overgrown region. We have observed second-order Raman scattering in the wing and window regions of GaN. The observations of longitudinal optical phonon plasmon modes in the overgrown region demonstrate that LEO GaN is doped. We have carried out micro-Raman mapping of the local strain and free carrier concentration in the LEO GaN. Anharmonicity due to temperature in LEO GaN has also been investigated. The anharmonicity was found to increase with increasing temperature, and such temperature-induced anharmonicity introduces changes in the linewidth and line center position of the Raman active phonons. The phonon lifetimes in GaN are estimated in the LEO region as well as in the coherently grown region (window region). © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Microstructural observations of gallium arsenide single crystals irradiated with a few tens of MeV C60 incident clusters (fullerenes) were performed. Normal and grazing incidences were investigated. Similar to in the case of silicon and germanium, cylindrical amorphous tracks whose diameters vary as a function of the projectile energy were found. However, for a given energy of the clusters, the track diameters are slightly different from one material to another. Also depending on the fullerene, energy is the length of the amorphous cylinder that formed along the projectile's path. The recrystallization process under an electron beam during transmission electron microscopy observation was analyzed and a higher growth rate for gallium arsenide compared to that of germanium was seen. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: This article presents an analysis of the response of silicon carbide to high velocity impact. This includes a wide range of loading conditions that produce large strains, high strain rates, and high pressures. Experimental data from the literature are used to determine constants for the Johnson–Holmquist constitutive model for brittle materials (JH-1). It is possible to directly determine the strength and pressure response of the intact material from test data in the literature. After the ceramic has failed, however, there are not adequate experimental data to directly determine the response of the failed material. Instead, the response is inferred from a comparison of computational results to ballistic penetration test results. After the constants have been obtained for the JH-1 model, a wide range of computational results are compared to experimental data in the literature. Generally, the computational results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Included are computational results that model interface defeat, which occurs when a high velocity projectile impacts a ceramic target and then dwells on the surface of the ceramic with no significant penetration. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The influence of ion-beam-produced lattice defects as well as H, B, C, N, O, and Si, introduced by ion implantation, on the luminescence properties of wurtzite GaN is studied by cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. Results indicate that intrinsic lattice defects produced by ion bombardment mainly act as nonradiative recombination centers and do not give rise to the yellow luminescence (YL) of GaN. Experimental data unequivocally shows that C is involved in the defect-impurity complex responsible for YL. In addition, C-related complexes appear to act as efficient nonradiative recombination centers. Implantation of H produces a broad luminescent peak which is slightly blueshifted with respect to the C-related YL band in the case of high excitation densities. The position of this H-related YL peak exhibits a blueshift with increasing excitation density. Based on this experimental data and results reported previously, the chemical origin of the YL band is discussed. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: InGaAs strained quantum well (SQW) samples with lattice matched InGaAsP quaternary barriers are grown on GaAs substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. These SQW samples are characterized using photoluminescence, photomodulated reflectance, surface photovoltage spectroscopy and high-resolution x-ray diffraction techniques. The results based on numerical calculations are used to identify the various transitions seen in the spectra. The effect of growth temperature on the indium content of the InGaAs SQW with lattice matched InGaAsP quaternary barriers is studied. Contrary to the reported higher value of indium incorporation in InGaAs SQW with GaAs (In-free) barriers when the growth is performed at low temperatures, we find that the indium content of the InGaAs SQW with InGaAsP (In-based) quaternary barriers decreases if the SQW is grown at lower growth temperatures. A possible explanation for this behavior is provided. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
