Svalbard spans large climate gradients, associated with atmospheric circulation patterns and variations in ocean heat content and sea ice cover. Future precipitation increases are projected to peak in the northeast and to mainly occur in winter, but uncertainties underscore the need for reconstructions of long-term spatial and temporal variations in precipitation amounts and seasonality. We use lipid ...

The voluminous igneous complexes that are present in the sedimentary basins of the volcanic rifted Vøring Margin have recently gained attention due to their promising potential for carbon sequestration. Although there have been major improvements in the field of intra- and subbasalt imaging and subbasalt sequences over the past decade, the emplacement mechanism, stratigraphical setting, structural ...

During the last few decades, several sectors in Antarctica have transitioned from glacial mass balance equilibrium to mass loss. In order to determine if recent trends exceed the scale of natural variability, long-term observations are vital. Here we explore the earliest, large-scale, aerial image archive of Antarctica to provide a unique record of 21 outlet glaciers along the coastline of East ...

This chapter sets the scene and provides background information regarding the primary objective of the book: to contribute to the knowledge base for climate education and research, with a specific focus on the oceans and water. Within this framework, the chapter situates educational and research strategies that specifically focus on ocean literacy, developed and coordinated by the authors over the ...

The Thalassophile Project is dedicated to universal accessibility in marine science and ocean literacy, with a focus on the d/Deaf and visually impaired communities. By emphasising accessibility, and illustrating how theory is put into practice, the project brings together a network of cross-sector practitioners, combining marine research, education, and universal accessibility expertise. In this ...

Grain-size end-member (EM) modelling is a robust statistical approach for identifying and quantifying dominant grain-size distributions. This approach provides a novel perspective for understanding the impact of interactions between depositional processes in complex sedimentary environments. This study examines grain-size distributions of six glacimarine sediment cores collected along an Nsingle ...

As the space industry is rapidly privatized and countries once again have their eyes set on the moon and beyond, humanity is getting closer and closer to the days where a colony on Mars is a reality. During the preliminary planning phase of a mission to Mars, a large scale, top-down overview is essential. This report applies a risk and safety engineering approach to identify each of the core hazards, ...

Digitalization of lithium-ion batteries can significantly advance the performance improvement of lithium-ion batteries by enabling smarter controlling strategies during operation and reducing risk and expenses in the design and development phase. Accurate physics-based models play a crucial role in the digitalization of lithium-ion batteries by providing an in-depth understanding of the system. ...

Silt-rich meltwater plume deposits (MPDs) analyzed from marine sediment cores have elucidated relationships that are clearly connected, yet difficult to constrain, between subglacial hydrology, ice-marginal landforms, and grounding-zone retreat patterns for several glacial catchments. Few attempts have been made to infer details of subglacial hydrology, such as flow regime, geometry of drainage ...

Hydrothermal vents are the result of the interaction between seawater and magma and occur at regular intervals along mid ocean ridges. The first visual confirmation of plumes was done in 1977. The detection of hydrothermal plumes has both provided indirect evidence for their existence and a resolution of the occurrences . In deep ocean with low sedimentation rates, hydrothermal plumites have the ...
