    Description: The coagulation of hydrosols was investigated theoretically and experimentally. A reduced form of the particle size distribution function, designated “self-preserving,” was found to satisfy Smoluchowski's equations of coagulation by Brownian motion and shear flow. Brownian motion coagulation experiments with two heterogeneous hydrosols showed that the distributions were self-preserving. The rate of coagulation for heterogeneous systems was found to be second order in total particle concentration, consistent with the self-preserving form of the distribution function. Coagulation experiments were carried out in a simple laminar shear field using a homogeneous Dow polystyrene latex dispersion. Smoluchowski's shear flow theory was confirmed for shear rates ranging from 1 to 80 sec.−1 The shear coagulation of a heterogeneous emulsion was studied at several shear rates, and the size distributions were self-preserving.

    Description: Magmas often experience severe disequilibrium conditions during their migration through the Earth's crust and the subsequent emplacement on its surface. During their transport, magmas are subjected to a wide range of cooling (q) and deformation rates (), generating physico-chemical perturbations in the magmatic system able to inhibit or promote crystallization processes. Quantifying the magnitude and timescale of kinetic effects is essential to correctly constrain the rheological evolution of magmas and their ability to flow. Here we present a suite of cooling deformation experiments (CDE) conducted on a basalt from Mt. Etna (Sicily, Italy) to disentangle and model the concurrent effects of q (from 1 to 10 °C/min) and (from 1 to 10 s−1) on the rheology of the system. The analysis of the temporal evolution of viscosity indicates that both q and strongly affect the onset of crystallization and achievement of a rheological cut-off over time, which represents the steep viscosity increase responsible for inhibiting magma flow. Both these rheological thresholds occur at lower T and earlier in time with increasing q, as well as at higher T and earlier in time with increasing . To reproduce the observed effects of crystallization on the apparent viscosity, we adopt a stretched exponential function that identifies two main crystallization regimes: i) a first shear-induced crystallization regime, characterized by a gentle viscosity increase and ii) a second cooling-dominated regime, marked by a steeper viscosity increase. The relative extent of these crystallization regimes strictly depends on the interplay between q and on the crystallization kinetics and suggest a first order control of q and a subordinate role of .

    Description: The characterization of the fling-step represents a challenging task due to the shortage of near-source records with permanent tectonic displacement and the limitation in retrieving the fling-amplitude from accelerometric waveforms. In recent years, innovative ground-motion processing techniques have been developed for a more accurate estimation of both fling-displacements and spectral displacements in contrast to traditional bandpass filtering, although their application is still unusual. In this paper, we exploit the newly released dataset of the Near-Source Strong-motion records (NESS2) uniformly processed with the extended BASeline COrrection technique (eBASCO), against which we propose: (1) a new empirically-based ground motion model (GMM) for the prediction of the fling-step, and (2) an adjustment factor of the spectral displacements predicted by a reference GMM to account for the contribution of the fling-step at long periods. Such models are in agreement with observations and existing GMMs, and thus could be advantageously employed in seismic hazard analyses.

    Description: The 1915, Mw6.7, Fucino earthquake is one of the most destructive events occurred in the central-southern Apennines (Central Italy) in pre-instrumental era, involving normal faulting in a deep alluvial basin. This study shows the application of the empirical non-ergodic approach (NESK method) for mapping ground shaking related to this historical event, taking into account the regional features of source, propagation and site contributions. Corrections of the source-region and spatially correlated maps of site and path residuals are combined with median prediction at the reference rock (i.e. without site amplification) to generate spatially variable ground shaking and associated variability in terms of peak ground acceleration and spectral ordinates at vibration periods from 0.01s to 2s. The method captures the main spatial non-stationarities and anisotropies of the shaking fields produced by this earthquake in and around the Fucino basin. In particular, we obtain patterns of seismic motion quite in accordance with the results of other methods and the macroseismic intensity field. Marked amplifications of the shaking in the long-periods are also captured, due to the coupling of 3D site effects, especially in the deeper portion of the basin, with propagation effects mainly focused towards the eastern part of the fault. These results confirm that the non-ergodic shaking scenarios from NESK can provide useful indications even in the case of very complex seismological and geological contexts, such as in the case of strong events in deep sedimentary basins.

    Description: The geological carbon cycle has played a key role in controlling climate throughout Earth’s history. For the last ∼ 3 billion years plate tectonics has driven subduction. Subducted slabs have transported CO_2 from the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere into the Earth, from where it may be released back to the surface through processes such as arc volcanism or can be stored in the deep interior over geological time. Carbonate-bearing sediments and basalts of altered oceanic crust are the primary media by which carbon is subducted. Therefore, quantifying the depth and amount of CO_2 released from different carbonate-bearing lithologies during subduction is fundamental to understanding whether CO_2 is recycled through arc volcanism or buried in the mantle. The magnitude of CO_2 released from subducting slabs at fore- and sub-arc depths is controlled by processes including ocean crust alteration (i.e., carbonation), metamorphic decarbonation, carbonate dissolution and slab-melting. However, the relative contribution of these processes to overall slab decarbonation is still debated, and will be complex given the variety of sedimentary lithologies and subduction geodynamics. Here, we present a global arc-by-arc lithology-specific analysis of the magnitude of slab CO_2 released purely by metamorphic decarbonation of carbonate-bearing sediment and basalt during subduction of altered oceanic crust, using a thermodynamically rigorous model. We find that metamorphic decarbonation is highly efficient in low carbonate sediments, such as carbonated clay, and in carbonated basalts of altered oceanic crust, causing all of their CO_2 to be removed. Sediments with medium and higher carbonate contents, such as chalk and limestone, are only partially decarbonated, but the combination of metamorphic decarbonation and carbonate dissolution promotes efficient carbon loss. Together they can explain observed magmatic CO_2 emissions in carbonate-rich arcs. Warm slabs, such as Mexico and Cascadia, produce complete metamorphic decarbonation of carbonate minerals beneath fore-arcs. Under more common cold and intermediate thermal regimes metamorphic decarbonation of carbonate minerals occurs at depths between ∼ 80 and 170 km ( ∼ 2.3 to 5.5 GPa) promoting CO_2 input into the mantle sources of volcanic arcs. Overall, our results demonstrate that sub-arc decarbonation is typically considered an important potential source of slab-derived CO_2 , which needs to be considered together with carbonate dissolution to explain observed volcanic CO_2 emissions. In many arcs the modelled CO_2 flux from sediment and basalts of altered oceanic crust into the wedge exceeds the observed CO 2 output suggesting that the mantle wedge and arc lithosphere may sequester some CO_2 .

    Description: This chapter aims at introducing the reader to general concepts about the main forcings of the Mediterranean Sea, in terms of exchanges through the Strait of Gibraltar, and air-sea exchanges of heat, freshwater, and momentum. These forcings are also responsible for the peculiar characteristics of Mediterranean water masses. Therefore, the chapter continues with giving a general explanation on water mass analysis, and then it describes the properties and vertical and horizontal distributions of the main Mediterranean water masses. To conclude, the reader is introduced to the use of other (biogeochemical, and chemical) tracers of water masses, with a focus on the Mediterranean Sea.

    Description: New sedimentological data of facies and diagenesis as well as chronological data including strontium (87Sr/86Sr)-isotope ratios and uranium (U)-series dating, radiocarbon (14C) accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating and biostratigraphy from elevated reef terraces (makatea) in the southern Cook Islands of Mangaia, Rarotonga and Aitutaki contribute to controversial discussions regarding age and sea-level relationships of these occurrences during the Neogene and Quaternary. The oldest limestones of the uplifted makatea island of Mangaia include reef-related facies which are mid-Miocene in age, based on new Sr-isotope and biostratigraphical data. In between these older deposits and the lowest coastal reef terrace of marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e, various older Pleistocene reef-related facies were identified. Based on Sr-isotope ratios, these were deposited during earlier Pleistocene highstands (as old as 2.28 Ma). Rare reef terraces on Rarotonga belong to the Plio-Pleistocene and the late Miocene, according to 87Sr/86Sr ratios. The late Miocene age is enigmatic as it exceeds the age of subaerially exposed volcanic rocks of Rarotonga island. The fossil reef could have formed on an older submarine volcanic high that was later displaced by younger volcanism to its present position, or the Sr-age could be too old due to diagenetic resetting. The Plio-Pleistocene Rarotonga reef terraces are overlain irregularly by Holocene reef deposits that are interpreted as storm rubble. Reef terraces on Aitutaki represent evidence of a higher-than-present (up to 1 m) sea-level during the late Holocene, based on 14C AMS age data. They are very similar to elevated late Holocene reefs of adjacent French Polynesia with regard to composition, elevation and age.

    Description: New constraints were set on the age of marine deposits in the Pontine Plain and of the related sea level indicators on the Tyrrhenian Sea coast of central Italy by twelve new 40Ar/39Ar dates on detrital sanidine from these deposits. By combining a new geomorphologic analysis and previous morpho-pedostratigraphic studies with these geochronological constraints we reconstructed the geometry of four marine terraces and correlated these with the highstands during the marine isotopic stages (MIS) 9.3, 7.5, 5.5 and 5.3. Results point to a progressive tilting of the terraces, the elevation increasing from the SE to the NW due to differential tectonic uplift that occurred over the last 300 ka. We identified a MIS 9 sea level at 30 - 25 m asl in the northwestern sector, whereas the MIS 7.5 sea level reached a maximum of 24 m asl in the NWand descended to 18 m asl in the central sector. Moderate tilting affected the MIS 5.5 sea level, with an elevation of 12 to 9.5 m asl in between the Anzio and Circeo headlands. Finally, an undeformed MIS 5.3 sea level at ca. 3 m asl is indicated throughout this coastal reach, confirming previous data suggesting a much higher absolute sea level during this highstand with respect to the d18O-derived predicted level.

    Description: The marine green alga Brilliantia kiribatiensis gen. et sp. nov. is described from samples collected from the coral reefs of the Southern Line Islands, Republic of Kiribati, Pacific Ocean. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences of the large- and small-subunit rDNA and the rDNA internal transcribed spacer region revealed that Brilliantia is a member of the Boodleaceae (Cladophorales), containing the genera Apjohnia, Boodlea, Cladophoropsis, Chamaedoris, Phyllodictyon, and Struvea. Within this clade it formed a distinct lineage, sister to Struvea elegans, but more distantly related to the bona fide Struvea species (including the type S. plumosa). Brilliantia differs from the other genera by having a very simple architecture forming upright, unbranched, single-celled filaments attached to the substratum by a rhizoidal mat. Cell division occurs by segregative cell division only at the onset of reproduction. Based on current sample collection, B. kiribatiensis seems to be largely restricted to the Southern Line Islands, although it was also observed on neighboring islands, including Orona Atoll in the Phoenix Islands of Kiribati, and the Rangiroa and Takapoto Atolls in the Tuamotus of French Polynesia. This discovery highlights the likeliness that there is still much biodiversity yet to be discovered from these remote and pristine reefs of the central Pacific.

    Description: A key requirement for geological CO2 storage is site integrity management and monitoring during operation through to the post decommissioning period. This paper focuses on monitoring deformation of the ground surface and seabed as a proxy for overall deformation in the reservoir and surrounding layers. The objective is to inform, based on deformation data, on how the reservoir is responding to CO2 injection and to ensure any issues with regard to storage integrity are rapidly detected. The magnitude and pattern of deformation at the surface reveals geomechanical/hydromechanical processes that occur in reservoir due to CO2 injection. We acquired deformation data from the In Salah CO2 injection site and from four additional study cases during the course of this study; one in the onshore UK, the other a combined campaign onshore Norway and offshore Germany, and the third in onshore Japan. Significant developments in measurement techniques, processing tools and interpretation algorithms were developed through this project. Models were then developed to simulate the observed data and to couple surface deformation to displacement in the subsurface. The results show millimeter-scale deformations in the subsurface have a signature at the surface that can be captured by the tools and workflows developed in this project. These deformations, particularly the patterns, are important factors to consider when monitoring a CO2 storage site.
