Adsorption Preceding Wetting Front Controls Seismic Velocity

Abstract Rock elasticity varies with both humidity and water saturation, yet their combined effects remain poorly understood, although in nature vapor adsorption and liquid infiltration occur simultaneously. Here, we present experimental da...

ProtoMix: Unified Prototype Learning for Semantic Change Detection in Remote Sensing

As an emerging topic, semantic change detection (SCD) in remote sensing aims to both identify the locations of changes before and after events and determine the land cover (LC) classes of changed regions. While deep learning has demonstrate...

New Occurrence of Seifertite and Stishovite in Chang’E‐5 Regolith

Abstract High‐pressure minerals in impact ejecta quantify shock conditions and provide clues for provenance analysis. The sampling site of Chang’E‐5 may contain distal ejecta, which is critical for constraining the impact events and interpr...

Review of progress in passive seismic reflection exploration

Seismic exploration is a key method for the study of underground structures. Active seismic surveys can acquire high signal-to-noise ratio reflection data; however, the operation of active seismic surveys is complicated, and the exploration...

Ice Nucleation Enhancement in Ambient Aerosols Under High‐Salinity Conditions: Insights From Cloud Chamber Experiments

Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a role in mixed‐phase clouds, yet the processes controlling their properties remain poorly understood. Water‐soluble salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) depress the freezing temperature of clou...

Environmental Geophysics

Handbook of geophysics and archaeology

Geophysics influences a wide range of subjects, from environmental studies to archaeology, palaeontology to counter-terrorism and law enforcement. 'Handbook of Geophysics and Archaeology' offers a comprehensive overview of geophysical techn...

Geophysics in Engineering Investigations

The Construction Directorate of the DTI supports the programme of innovation and research to improve the construction industry's performance and to promote more sustainable construction. Its main aims are to improve quality and value for mo...

Environmental geophysics: Mundane applied geophysics

Welcome readers to this issue’s column on geophysics applied to the environment. In this column I am going to expound on some fascinating “research” on which I have been working (is there a Nobel P......

Comparison of the GOSAT TANSO-FTS TIR CH volume mixing ratio vertical profiles with those measured by ACE-FTS, ESA MIPAS, IMK-IAA MIPAS, and 16 NDACC stations

The primary instrument on the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) is the Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observations (TANSO) Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). TANSO-FTS uses three short-wave infrared (SWIR) band...

Terrestrial Remote Sensing of Snowmelt in a Diverse High-Arctic Tundra Environment Using Time-Lapse Imagery

Snow cover is one of the crucial factors influencing the plant distribution in harsh Arctic regions. In tundra environments, wind redistribution of snow leads to a very heterogeneous spatial distribution which influences growth conditions f...

The Response of Radiative Forcing to High Spatiotemporally Resolved Land‐Use Change and Transition From 1982 to 2010 in China

Abstract Significant uncertainties remain in the estimate of radiative forcing (RF) induced by land‐use change (LUC), partially attributable to the lack of reliable LUC data with a high spatiotemporal resolution. We implemented a high spati...

The Integrity and Tightness of Underground Hydrogen Storage Systems: A Critical Review of Geological Barriers, Well Sealing, Leakage Risks and Future Perspectives

Underground storage of green hydrogen is a strategic enabler of large-scale renewable deployment, but its feasibility rests on a hard problem: keeping a small, highly mobile molecule confined underground for decades without safety or enviro...

A geotechnical investigation on a recent gigantic rock avalanche at the Patalganga-Langsi site on the Badrinath highway of chamoli, Uttarakhand (Garhwal Himalaya), India

Abstract Garhwal Himalaya is one of the most landslide-prone regions in the Himalayan Belt due to its seismo-tectonic background, geological complexity, climate, geomorphological setting and large-scale human interference. A gigantic rock a...

Internal Water Facilitates Thermal Resetting of Clumped Isotopes in Biogenic Aragonite

Abstract Biogenic and inorganic calcium carbonates contain considerable amounts of internal water, both as free and organically associated water. The oxygen isotopic compositions (δ18O) of internal water and hosting carbonate are analyzed f...

Spatial random downscaling of rainfall signals in Andean heterogeneous terrain

Remotely sensed data are often used as proxies for indirect precipitation measures over data-scarce and complex-terrain areas such as the Peruvian Andes. Although this information might be appropriate for some research requirements, the ext...

A Terrain-Feature-Aware Multiscale PTD for Airborne LiDAR Ground Filtering

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has become an indispensable tool for earth observation, supporting applications such as digital terrain modeling, environmental monitoring, and geohazard assessment. A fundamental challenge in Li...

The surface temperatures of Earth: steps towards integrated understanding of variability and change

Surface temperature is a key aspect of weather and climate, but the term may refer to different quantities that play interconnected roles and are observed by different means. In a community-based activity in June 2012, the EarthTemp Network...

Land and Atmosphere Precursors to Fuel Loading, Wildfire Ignition and Post‐Fire Recovery

Abstract Land surface‐atmosphere coupling and soil moisture memory are shown to combine into a distinct temporal pattern for wildfire incidents across the western United States. We investigate the dynamic interplay of observed soil moisture...

Can Glacial Sea‐Level Drop‐Induced Gas Hydrate Dissociation Cause Submarine Landslides?

Abstract We conducted two‐dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the mechanisms underlying the strong spatiotemporal correlation observed between submarine landslides and gas hydrate dissociation due to glacial sea‐level drops. Ou...
