The upcoming talks will be held on Wednesday 16th June @ 11am CEST over Zoom and will be divided into three main topics: 1) Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS); 2) Sustainable Mining; 3) Urban aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES).

GEODYNAMICS

1 day ago · Generation and reversal of the Earth’s magnetic field have remained one of the most controversial topics. In this week’s geodynamics 101, Debarshi Majumder, a PhD student from the Indian Institute of Science, gives a brief overview of the theory of geodynamo reversal and discusses some of the preliminary results obtained from numerical modelling. A planetary magnetic reversal is

HIGH-FREQUENCY MONITORING OF ANOMALOUS METHANE POINT SOURCES WITH MULTISPECTRAL SENTINEL-2 SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS * __ Atmospheric Measurement Techniques * DOI 10.5194/amt-14-2771-2021

* __ 31 May 2021

Satellites can detect methane emissions by measuring sunlight reflected from the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. Here we show that the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 twin satellites can be used to monitor anomalously large methane point sources around the world, with global coverage every 2–5 days and 20 m spatial resolution. We demonstrate this previously unreported capability through high-frequency Sentinel-2 monitoring of two strong methane point sources in Algeria and Turkmenistan.

* __ 28 May 2021

As our knowledge and understanding of atmospheric aerosol particle evolution and impact grows, designing community mechanistic models requires an ability to capture increasing chemical, physical and therefore numerical complexity. As the landscape of computing software and hardware evolves, it is important to profile the usefulness of emerging platforms in tackling this complexity. With this in mind we present JlBox v1.1, written in Julia.

------------------------- SUDDEN LARGE-VOLUME DETACHMENTS OF LOW-ANGLE MOUNTAIN GLACIERS – MORE FREQUENT THAN THOUGHT?

* __ The Cryosphere

* DOI 10.5194/tc-15-1751-2021

* __ 26 May 2021

Hardly recognized so far, giant catastrophic detachments of glaciers are a rare but great potential for loss of lives and massive damage in mountain regions. Several of the events compiled in our study involve volumes (up to 100 million m3 and more), avalanche speeds (up to 300 km/h), and reaches (tens of kilometres) that are hard to imagine. We show that current climate change is able to enhance associated hazards. For the first time, we elaborate a set of factors that could cause these events.

They connected school teacher, Hélder Pereira, with seismologist, Susana Custódio, to create and teach a lesson plan on a topic relevant to Hélder’s classroom curriculum: the origin of the South American volcanic gaps. The lesson was live streamed online from Hélder’s class in Algarve, Portugal, with Scientist, Susana, joining virtually from the University of Lisbon.

Amongst the organisms that call Antarctica home, certain seabird species have become so well adapted to the harsh conditions that they not only survive in the region, but flourish. Like all Antarctic organisms, seabirds are intricately linked to the continent’s sea ice, dependant on it for survival. With a warming climate, sea ice conditions are changing, with …
