Published: August 2022

Abstract. Solar eruptions and other types of space weather effects can pose a hazard to the high voltage power grids via geomagnetically induced currents (GICs). In worst cases, they can even cause large-scale power outages. GICs are a complex phenomenon, closely related to the time derivative of the geomagnetic field. However, the behavior of the time derivative is chaotic and has proven to be tricky to predict. In our study, we look at the dynamics of the geomagnetic field during active space weather. We try to characterize the magnetic field behavior, to better understand the drivers behind strong GIC events. We use geomagnetic data from the IMAGE (International Monitor for Auroral Geomagnetic Effect) magnetometer network between 1996 and 2018. The measured geomagnetic field is primarily produced by currents in the ionosphere and magnetosphere, and secondarily by currents in the conducting ground. We use the separated magnetic field in our analysis. The separation of the field means that the measured magnetic field is computationally divided into external and internal parts corresponding to the ionospheric and telluric origin, respectively. We study the yearly directional distributions of the baseline subtracted, separated horizontal geomagnetic field, ΔH, and its time derivative, dΔH/dt. The yearly distributions do not have a clear solar cycle dependency. The internal field distributions are more scattered than the external field. There are also clear, station-specific differences in the distributions related to sharp conductivity contrasts between continental and ocean regions or to inland conductivity anomalies. One of our main findings is that the direction of dΔH/dt has a very short “reset time“, around 2 min, but ΔH does not have this kind of behavior. These results hold true even with less active space weather conditions. We conclude that this result gives insight into the time scale of ionospheric current systems, which are the primary driver behind the time derivative's behavior. It also emphasizes a very short persistence of dΔH/dt compared to ΔH, and highlights the challenges in forecasting dΔH/dt (and GIC).
The Münsterdorf sinkhole cluster: Void origin and mechanical failure
Authors: Kaufmann Georg , Romanov Douchko , Werban Ulrike , Vienken Thomas
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Since 2004, collapse sinkholes occur on the sports field of Münsterdorf, a village north of Hamburg in Germany. The sinkholes, around 2–5 m in diameter and 3–5 m deep, develop in peri-glacial sand, which in around 20 m depth is underlain by cretaceous chalk. The chalk has been pushed up close to the surface by a salt diapir. The sinkhole formation initiated suddenly and occurs with a frequency of one every two years. We use a variety of geophysical results (e.g. gravity, electrical resistivity imaging, ground-penetrating radar) from previous field-work campaigns together with a new data set from direct-push based methods to infer mechanical and hydrological properties of the material beneath the sports field (peri-glacial sand, glacial marl, cretaceous chalk). Based on the derived material properties, we develop a mechanical model for the sinkhole collapse, starting from simple analytical considerations and then moving towards a three-dimensional distinct-element model explaining the sudden onset of collapse sinkholes for the sports field. The mechanical model supports our hypothesis that the sudden onset of sinkholes is triggered by changes in groundwater level.
Remote sensing of active tectonics in NE Italy, eastern Southern Alps

Published: August 2022

Due to the collision of the European and Adriatic plates, about 3 mm/yr of N-S convergence are accommodated in the Eastern and Southern Alps. This shortening is mainly taken up by c. E-W-trending reverse faults along the South Alpine Front and on NW-SE-trending dextral strike-slip faults in western Slovenia. Strong historical earthquakes and instrumental seismicity, however, show that some deformation also occurs in the interior of the Southern Alps. Little is known about which faults are active here. In this study we present results from a regional-scale remote sensing analysis focusing on the Bellunese and Friulian sectors of the Southern Alps in northeastern Italy. Our aim was to identify areas with relatively increased tectonic activity based on landscape features. We made use of high-resolution digital elevation models from aerial laser scanning campaigns. We downsampled the data to 5 m resolution and calculated the most widely used geomorphic indices that might indicate active tectonics: normalised steepness index, the Chi­ value, terrain ruggedness index, and stream knickpoints. The results were checked with geological data, mapped faults, and seismicity. We also conducted extensive field work to verify the results on the ground. Our results show that the application of large-scale tectonic geomorphology in this particular Alpine region is complicated by numerous factors. Small-scale variations in lithologies with variable erodibility strongly influence the analysis. The same holds true for variations in dip direction and dip angles of bedding planes; occasionally, vertical strata erroneously suggest linearly trending faults. In addition, we found that glacial features and alluvial deposits have locally overprinted the traces of known faults. Despite of these challenges, we found hints for active deformation in the landscape, in particular in the epicentral area of the 1976 Friuli earthquakes. We highlight potential pitfalls of the applied methods and discuss ways to overcome some of the problems we encountered.
New data on the Late Pleistocene evolution of the Klagenfurt Basin, Austria
Authors: Mücklisch Mark , Grützner Christoph , Prince Erick , Tsukamoto Sumiko , Ustaszewski Kamil
Published: August 2022

The Klagenfurt Basin in the southern Austrian region of Carinthia was glaciated during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Next to numerous lakes, the present-day landscape predominantly exhibits landforms such as moraines and large river terraces systems. These landforms can be seen as markers for post-LGM tectonics: If they are deformed, the basin has taken up a share of the ~N-S shortening prevailing due to the ongoing collision of Adria and Europe. If the landforms are undeformed, this deformation is accommodated elsewhere, most likely further south along the Periadriatic and Sava Fault system or by a NW-SE-trending strike-slip fault system at the junction between Southern Alps and Dinarides in Slovenia. Our study is motivated by the recent discovery of earthquake-triggered mass movements in Carinthian lakes and new data on Late Pleistocene-Holocene speleothem damage in the Karawanken mountains, illustrating that the area is seismically active. We used newly available high-resolution digital elevation models to scan the area for post-glacial deformation but found no conclusive evidence for tectonic activity since the Würm glaciation. We then analysed several outcrops of Late Pleistocene sediments throughout the Klagenfurt Basin to check for soft-sediment deformation features that could be linked to strong seismic shaking. These outcrops were documented as 3D virtual models. Deformed silty-sandy layers were encountered in several places, and one outcrop showed spectacularly folded fluvial gravels. However, we do not need to invoke tectonics as the causative mechanism. Instead, we interpret these structures as evidence for a late glacial advance. Luminescence dating is underway to put constraints on the timing of this event. Our study implies that although there are records for recent strong earthquakes around the Klagenfurt Basin, the rates of deformation are so low that they can not be detected in the post-LGM landscape. 
Alpine-Carpathian-Pannonian Geodynamics: McKenzie and Royden, how far?
Authors: Gyorfi Istvan , Petrescu Laura , Borlenu Felix
Published: August 2022

Since the 1980s’ the geodynamic evolution of the Alpine-Carpathian-Pannonian (ACP) region has been clearly dominated by two models: McKenzie (1978) and Royden (1984). The model of McKenzie was the first numerical model to explain the continental extension in terms of lithospheric stretching and following thermal subsidence. The model has envisaged that these two processes are recorded by the intervening sedimentary processes: the initial syn-rift phase characterized by extensional growth sequences and the subsequent thermal phase best described in terms of tectonic quiescence with no, or little deformation of the sedimentary cover. Its first application to the North-Sea has brought serious breakthrough in the understanding of its geodynamic evolution, and became a strong predictive tool for the oil and gas exploration community. Further on, the model has been tested on the Pannonian Basin by Sclater et al (1980). The results were ambiguous, and Bally and Snelson (1980) have highlighted that the syn-rift phase is not responding properly to the model. In spite of these early concerns, the McKenzie model has been widely accepted for the coming decades. Evidences from reflection seismic data coupled with well data, however were to confirm that the style and timing of extensional deformation is indeed out of the reach of model predictions. Shortly afterwards, Royden has proposed that the extension of the Pannonian Basin System area would be coupled with the compressional tectonics of the Carpathians. Royden et al.  has proposed that the motor behind the two concurrent processes would be the subduction roll-back which they thought to be represented by the Vrancea Seismic Zone (VSZ). This model was simple and elegant, to that extent that has been unanimously adopted by the whole geoscientific community without reserves for the coming four decades. While it is clear, that the VSZ is a well-documented geodynamic entity, it is problematic to pursue how far can be applied to the whole Intra-Carpathian Region (ICR). There is a growing evidence coming from a variety of regions from the ICR, such as the Transylvanian Basin, Apuseni Mountains, East-Carpathians and ultimately from the Pannonian Basin suggesting that the subduction roll-back model cannot be retained anymore as the sole and only viable solution to explain the Miocene-Pannonian geodynamics of the ACP region. Moreover, possible alternative interpretation(s) of the VSZ is calling for a full revision of the mechanisms of basin and orogenic evolution.
From Permian to rift-inception: new insight from the Western Southern Alps (Varese Area)
Authors: Scaramuzzo Emanuele , Livio Franz A. , Fellin Maria Giuditta
Published: August 2022

The Permian-Triassic tectonic evolution of Western Adria has been variously interpreted either as the first rifting phase that led to the opening of the Alpine Tethys or as the result of continental-scale strike-slip movements. Additionally, a common view on the age of inception of the rifting of the Alpine Tethys, its duration and its relationship with the antecedent Variscan tectonic phases, is still lacking. The European Western Southern Alps expose the basement and cover rocks of Western Adria and therefore represent a key area for understanding and testing the post-Variscan to pre-rifting evolution of this plate. We focus, in particular, on a relatively poorly deformed sector of Northern Italy (Varese Area), where the outcropping Permo-Carboniferous sequence and the overlying Triassic to Early Jurassic units allow to investigate the crosscut relationships between structures that were active during pre-rift and syn-rift tectonic phases. By means of a 3D geological model of the Varese Area, built on a brand-new geological map, firstly we restored Alpine tectonics and then performed a progressive geological restoration of faults, aided by new preliminary thermochronological data. We unveiled a polyphasic strike-slip Permian tectonic phase that switch to an unexpectedly early inception of the rifting.

Abstract. Heavy precipitation over western Germany and neighboring countries in July 2021 led to widespread floods, with the Ahr and Erft river catchments being particularly affected. Following the event characterization and process analysis in Part 1, here we put the 2021 event in the historical context regarding precipitation and discharge records, and in terms of the temporal transformation of the valley morphology. Furthermore, we evaluated the role of ongoing and future climate change on the modification of rainfall totals and associated flood hazards as well as implications for flood management. The event was among the five heaviest precipitation events of the past 70 years in Germany. However, considering the large LAERTES-EU regional climate model (RCM) ensemble revealed a substantial underestimation of return values and periods based on extreme value statistics using only observations. An analysis of homogeneous hydrological data of the last 70 years demonstrated that the event discharges exceeded by far the statistical 100-year return values. Nevertheless, the flood peaks at the Ahr River were comparable to the reconstructed major historical events of 1804 and 1910, which were not included in the hazard assessment of flood risk so far. A comparison between the 2021 and past events showed differences in terms of the observed hydro-morphodynamic processes which enhanced the flood risk due to changes in the landscape organization and occupation. The role of climate change and how the 2021 event would unfold under warmer or colder conditions (within a –2 K to +4 K range) was analyzed based on pseudo-global-warming (PGW) model experiments. These showed that the spatial mean precipitation scales to first order with the theoretical Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) relation predicting a 7 to 9 % increase per degree warming. Using the PGW rainfall simulations as input to a hydrological model of the Ahr river basin revealed a strong and non-linear effect on flood peaks: For the +2 K scenario, the 18 % increase in areal rainfall led to a 39 % increase of the flood peak at gauge Altenahr. The analysis of the high-resolution convection-permitting KIT-KLIWA RCM ensemble confirmed the CC-scaling for moderate spatial mean precipitation but showed a super CC-scaling of up to 10 % for higher intensities. Moreover, also the spatial extent of such precipitation events is expected to increase.

Poetics of the Sufi Carnival
Authors: Thomas Miller Matthew
Published: August 2022

The carnivalesque poetics of the “rogue lyrics” (qalandariyyāt) of medieval Sufi poetry have excited the interest of varied audiences since premodern times. This attention is not surprising: these poems' purported celebration of proscribed actions, antinomian figures, and even apostasy shocks readers and demands interpretation. Many Sufi interpreters, followed by a substantial group of contemporary scholars, have read the carnivalesque imagery of such poetry as an esoteric symbolic code that must be explicated through the Sufi hermeneutic tradition. Other scholars, largely approaching these poems from the perspective of the history of Sufism, have sought to understand this poetry’s relationship with the historical antinomian groups of the medieval Islamic world. What has been lost in these discussions, however, is an understanding of the qalandariyyāt’s poetics and its function within the larger early Persian genre system. This study focuses on elucidating the “poetics of the Sufi carnival” through an exploration of how the qalandariyyāt constructs its heterotopic poetics in its parody of ascetic-homiletic (zuhdiyyāt-mawʿiẓa) and panegyric (madḥiyyāt) poetry. The qalandariyyāt operates as a countergenre, but not in the singular. Subsumed under this broad generic umbrella are multiple subgenres—a point that also illustrates the considerable complexity and historical specificity of the early Persian genre system.

Oral contraceptives, also known as birth control tablets/pills, are medicines that stop pregnancy. About 75% of married women who use contraception in the research location (Purba Medinipur district) reported they prefer the combined hormonal pill with oestrogen and progesterone. Thirty women were chosen at random to participate in the study. Of the 50% who routinely used contraceptive pills and 50% never used them or occasionally did so. Her male partner likely uses a condom when necessary. The hormone progesterone is responsible for preventing conception, whereas the oestrogen component regulates menstrual blood loss. An questionnaire survey is used in one-on-one interviews. Statistics used in the study were descriptive. To examine the data, an unpaired ‘t’ test was employed. In order to provide effective contraception using oral contraceptives, this study investigates the adverse effects of oral contraceptive pills. It highlights the significance of better care coordination among occupational therapist. According to this study, one of the most common oral contraceptive regimens decreases women's quality of life while not affecting depressive symptoms. However, ovarian and menstrual issues and increased bone mineral density are very noticeable in women in their forties and significantly impact their behaviour. Younger women are more receptive to oral contraceptives' positive benefits on acne. It has been shown that birth control pill side effects can include complications including cystic acne, anxiety or irritability, sore breasts, weight gain, or some trouble conceiving after discontinuing the pill. The study makes predictions about the menstrual flow type, dysmenorrhea, blood pressure, waist-hip ratio, and pattern of contraceptive use. Consuming oral contraceptives is linked to some symptoms, including breast soreness, weight gain, missing periods, vaginal discharge, alterations in vision with contact lenses, and irregular or spotty bleeding.

The food security programme is negatively impacted by postharvest losses (PHLs). In terms of providing food for a nation, proper grain postharvest (PHV) storage is more crucial than intense and widespread farming. Reducing post-harvest losses of food crops is essential to raising agricultural production sustainably. Each year, insects and diseases destroy or harm a fifth or more of stored food grains in many regions of the world. The angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Oliver), is a major stored grain pest of rice. Control of Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) is still much dependent on the use of toxic chemicals though there is a chance of residual toxicity to the non-target organism. Rice, wheat, and corn are just a few examples of grains that are crucial to the economic stability of many nations. Cereals like rice, wheat and corn play an important role in the economic stability of many countries. Some indigenous rice varieties of rice are reported to be tolerant of this pest. This study was undertaken to identify West Bengal indigenous rice varieties susceptible to the stored grain pest S. cerealella infestation at low and high moisture storage conditions.
