High-latitude lakes are sensitive to climate change and store information about large-scale circulation changes and catchment-integrated processes. Lakes are mainly recharged by meteoric water, meaning that some lake sediment proxies may indirectly archive the stable isotopic composition of hydrogen (δ² H) and oxygen (δ¹⁸O) of past precipitation. Yet, despite similar ...

The interaction of free-base triarylcorroles with Re₂(CO)₁₀ in 1,2- dichlorobenzene in the presence of 2,6-lutidine at 180 °C under strict anerobic conditions afforded approximately 10% yields of rhenium corrole dimers. The compounds exhibited diamagnetic ¹ H NMR spectra consistent with a metal−metal quadruple bond with a σ² π⁴ δ² ...

Image-based virtual try-on is one of the most promising applications of human-centric image generation due to its tremendous real-world potential. Yet, as most try-on approaches fit in-shop garments onto a target person, they require the laborious and restrictive construction of a paired training dataset, severely limiting their scalability. While a few recent works attempt to transfer garments ...

Capturing global contextual representations in remote sensing images by exploiting long-range pixel-pixel dependencies has been shown to improve segmentation performance. However, how to do this efficiently is an open question as current approaches of utilising attention schemes, or very deep models to increase the field of view, increases complexity and memory consumption. Inspired by recent work ...

The Finnmark Platform Composite Tectono-Sedimentary Element (CTSE), located in the southern Barents Sea, is a northward-dipping monoclinal structural unit. It covers most of the southern Norwegian Barents Sea where it borders the Norwegian mainland. Except for the different age of basement, the CTSE extends eastwards into the Kola Monocline on the Russian part of the Barents Sea. <p> <p>The general ...

The Arctic is a climate-sensitive area, responding rapidly to present changes, but for the past changes, the recordis still incomplete. Forinstance, theWeichselian glacial historyof the Svalbard–Barents Sea Ice Sheet (SBIS) haslargely been reconstructed based on studies of the fragmentary Spitsbergen terrestrial and shelf records. However, the sediments removed from the land and shelf areas during ...

The present volume is rooted in a map of sedimentary successions of the Arctic Region by Grantz et al. (2011), and contains a brief, but comprehensive compilation of geological and geophysical data characterizing all significant sedimentary successions in the Arctic, which cover 57% of the polar area north of 64°N. Two main goals have been designated: (i) to provide, based on the present-day ...

There is a wide consensus within the polar science, meteorology, and oceanography communities that more in situ observations of the ocean, atmosphere, and sea ice are required to further improve operational forecasting model skills. Traditionally, the volume of such measurements has been limited by the high cost of commercially available instruments. An increasingly attractive solution to this ...

Symmetries and differential invariants of viscid flows with viscosity depending on temperature on a space curve are given. Their dependence on thermodynamic states of media is studied, and a classification of thermodynamic states is given.

We examine the living and dead benthic foraminiferal assemblages from the topmost 10 cm (using 150 μm sieve fraction) of three sedimentological short records collected in the Kveithola Trough (northwest Barents Sea). Our aim is to reconstruct the environmental variations of the last decades, connected to the interaction among the North Atlantic and the Arctic water masses. Our samples are collected ...
