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...

UAV Image Mosaicking Based on Multiregion Guided Local Projection Deformation

The goal of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) image mosaicking is to create natural- looking mosaics without artifacts due to the parallax of the image and relative camera motion. UAV remote sensing is a low-altitude technology and the UAV imag...

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...

Glass as a biomaterial: strategies for optimising bioactive glasses for clinical applications

Bioactive glasses were the first synthetic materials to bond to human body tissue, making them ideal for replacing and regenerating bone. Since their first development over half a century ago, many new bioactive glass compositions have been...

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...

Sources of Inter‐Model Diversity in the Strength of the Relationship Between the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall and El Niño‐Southern Oscillation

Abstract Using 51 models of the AMIP and historical experiments of CMIP6, we investigate the inter‐model diversity of atmospheric and coupled models in the strength of the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR)–El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (...

Early carbonatite magmatism at Oldoinyo Lengai volcano (Tanzania): carbonatite–silicate melt immiscibility in Lengai I melt inclusions

Carbonatites are unusual C-rich alkaline magmas that have been reported throughout the geological record. Nevertheless, there is only one currently active carbonatite system on Earth: Oldoinyo Lengai stratovolcano in northern Tanzania (God’...

High P‐T Sound Velocities of Amphiboles: Implications for Low‐Velocity Anomalies in Metasomatized Upper Mantle

Abstract Metasomatized mantle xenoliths containing hydrous minerals, such as amphiboles, serpentine, and phlogopite, likely represent the potential mineralogical compositions of the metasomatized upper mantle, where low seismic velocities a...

Validation of Sentinel-2 (MSI) and Sentinel-3 (OLCI) Water Quality Products in Turbid Estuaries Using Fixed Monitoring Stations

It is common in estuarine waters to place fixed monitoring stations, with the advantages of easy maintenance and continuous measurements. These two features make fixed monitoring stations indispensable for understanding the optical complexi...

Microclimatic variations of land surface temperature on Galindez Island (western part of the Antarctic Peninsula)

The study presents analysis of microclimatic conditions on Galindez Island (western part of the Antarctic Peninsula), in particular: seasonal variability and spatial heterogeneity. Based on land surface temperature (LST) data derived from l...

A Review on Modeling Environmental Loading Effects and Their Contributions to Nonlinear Variations of Global Navigation Satellite System Coordinate Time Series

Nonlinear variations in the coordinate time series of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reference stations are strongly correlated with surface displacements caused by environmental loading effects, including atmospheric, hydrologic...

Modernizing GNSS data acquisition, pre-processing, and distribution at volcanological observatories

In recent years, the field of geodetic monitoring is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the transition from GPS-only positioning to a fully multi-GNSS environment. With Galileo, BeiDou, and modernized GPS & GLONASS constella...
