description:
The potential mobility and availability of trace elements in sediments/soils is commonly assessed via selective extractions. In this work, three contrasting sediments, i.e., Rhine riverbank sediment, alkaline volcanic heavy mineral sand, and mine tailings from a Mississippi-valley type ore deposit, are extracted with an oxalate-based solution and compared in terms of trace element mobility from both amorphous and crystalline Fe-Mn-carrier phases. Major and trace elements are characterized in the supernatants via ICP-OES and (HG-)ICP-MS, whereas the residual material is characterized via XRD. The obtained Fe/Si and Mn/As ratios highlight distinct sediment behavior over time. Overall, our results show a significant kinetic component, increasing concentrations for some elements like Fe, Mn, Ti, Si, Al, Mg, Sr, Na, Ge, Sc, and HREE (for the black sand), and decreasing for Ca, K, Y, REE after reaching supersaturation, e.g., formation of a characteristic whitish precipitate. Even though the protocol was successful at destroying most of the Fe-Mn(-Ti) minerals, the crystallization and sedimentation of oxalate salts may be due to the absence of stabilizing agents in solution. A similar situation occurs in the case of urolithiasis, where supersaturation of calcium oxalate in the kidneys, if not inhibited, promotes precipitation. Thus, the findings of this study not only highlight the environmental mobility of technologically critical elements in aquatic systems, but also their potential retention/accumulation in kidney stones.

description:
The reactivity and fate of Technology Critical Elements (TCEs) in rivers are still widely unknown. We present yearly monitoring results for Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and less known TCEs such as tellurium (Te) and Thallium (Tl), for three contrasting German watersheds: the Rhine, the Neckar and the Danube rivers. Monthly samples of water (0.45 vs 0.02 µm) and suspended particulate matter were analysed directly and after digestions via ICP-MS (iCAP series, Thermo®). Results show contrasting behavior between watersheds. For instance, only the Neckar River shows increased downstream transport of REEYs in the dissolved phase, reflecting the impact of dams along its course. In contrast, only the Danube River shows a mixed signal between geogenic and anthropogenic Gd, the latter disappearing completely during flood conditions. In any case, flood conditions enhance an overall transport of REEs in the truly dissolved phase for all rivers, increasing the amount released into the system, decreasing the log Kd values and causing a characteristic Tm negative anomaly. The opposite occurs for Tl and anthropogenic Gd, suggesting for Tl an anthropogenically dominated regime, especially at the Neckar and Danube rivers. All this information provides insights for developing scenarios for potential risk assessment of current and future anthropogenic releases of TCEs in aquatic environments.

description:
Quantifying the feedbacks between tectonic processes in the lithosphere and climatic processes in the atmosphere is an overarching goal in Earth-Systems research. Long-term cooling during the Cenozoic has been linked to the growth of mountain belts, which enhanced erosion, chemical weathering, organic-carbon burial and drawdown of atmospheric CO2. Conversely, it has been proposed that the cooler and more variable climate of the late Cenozoic led to increased topographic relief and erosion. However, the topographic and erosional response of mountainous topography to late-Cenozoic climatic cooling culminating in Quaternary glaciations, and the potential couplings between these processes, remain poorly constrained. Advancing our understanding requires the development of tools that record erosion rates and topographic relief changes with higher spatial and temporal resolution than the current state-of-the-art, and the integration of newly obtained data into next-generation numerical models that link observed erosion-rate and relief histories to potential driving mechanisms. Within the ERC-funded COOLER project, we are building a new 4He/3He thermochronology lab in Potsdam, developing numerical modelling tools that incorporate the latest insights in kinetics of thermochronological systems to make sample-specific predictions, coupling these tools to glacial landscape-evolution models to enable modelling of real landscapes with real thermochronology data as constraints and, finally, studying potential couplings between glacial erosion, relief development, and tectonics in selected field areas.

description:
Scientific drilling is a well-established tool in Earth sciences and related disciplines. For drilling on land, the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program, ICDP is the major player providing implemental funding and technical support. The largest number of ICDP projects aim at drivers of Paleoenvironmental and Paleoclimate evolution with a focus on dramatical and rapid changes. While Quaternary archives such as lacustrine sediments still predominate, more and more Mesozoic to Paleozoic time slices of dramatic System Earth transformations come into the play. Even Precambrian times are on the agenda such as Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth, Early Precambrian oxygenation of the atmosphere, or Early Earth origin and evolution of life.

Another key topic in the ICDP are Geohazards including mainly seismic and volcanic risk and research on landslides or a combination of cascading disastrous events. First approaches in this field of science were often related to the feasibility of drilling in fault zones or active volcanic regions while current ideas focus on monitoring and testing.

Energy-related scientific drilling projects on e.g., geothermal challenges and other critical resources often acquire funding from national governmental resources. In contrast, fundamental basic research questions are usually developed as bottom-up international academic initiatives. In order to bridge the gap between these two advance lines in geothermal research, ICDP has now established new funding priorities including not only ‘World-Class Science’ and ‘World-Class Sites` but also ‘World-Class Opportunities’.

This contribution will summarize current trends and initiatives in terms scientific objectives and will elucidate funding challenges as well as chances.

description:
We present petrological data and seven Lu-Hf garnet–amphibole–whole rock ages obtained from a single garnet-hornblende-mica schist sample from the Isua supracrustal belt (West Greenland). Garnets grew during prograde metamorphism toward regional amphibolite-facies peak conditions, and a mylonitic foliation formed during and after garnet formation. Garnet crystals show typical prograde zoning with no visible traces of a relict garnet generation. They do show various degrees of retrogression. While some crystals are perfectly euhedral with only minor chemical alteration along cracks, others are elongated in the foliation and either grew in this shape or were deformed. Some grains have disintegrated into clusters of resorbed smaller ones. Six garnet splits were separated from crushed single crystals and one from a crushed bulk sample. Individual three-point garnet–hornblende–whole rock ages scatter between 2.603 ± 0.018 Ga and 2.432 ± 0.059 Ga for single garnets. The garnet split from the bulk sample defines an age of 2.463 ± 0.031 Ga, the data point farthest from the regression line for all data points (2.551 ± 0.074 Ga, mean square of weighted deviates = 25). We interpret these data to indicate partial retrogression of a Neoarchean garnet population not significantly older than the oldest obtained three-point age. Well-preserved garnet zoning, regional peak temperatures well below the closing temperature of the Lu-Hf system, and the small scatter of Lu-Hf ages preclude an interpretation of the observed metamorphism and deformation as being Eoarchean in age.

description:
Through almost the entire mantle column, oceanic crust is denser than ambient mantle. In a ca. 100 kilometers thick channel below the lower-upper-mantle boundary (LUMB), however, this relation is reversed. Hence, this channel constitutes a trap for oceanic crust and several recent studies have indeed proposed large ponds of crust at this depth. Accumulation of crust would be expected to be continuous, while sequestration into the lower mantle should be episodic due to the metastable nature of the gravitational trap. Non-steady-state concentration of crust in the channel would be associated with variations in Earths volume in the order of several millions of cubic kilometers. While transfer of crust from the upper mantle into the channel causes volume increase, the collapse of crust into the lower mantle would be associated with net volume decrease. We propose that collapse events could be associated with rising mantle plumes, hence, a net volume decrease of Earth would precede the eruption of large igneous provinces (LIP). A dramatic volume loss in 650 kilometers depth might be able to pull down the surface for a brief time. Such an event might be expressed in an outstanding sea-level-drop before the eruption of LIP. This hypothesis is confirmed by a review of eustatic sea-level changes accompanying late Paleozoic – Cenozoic LIPs activity showing that a majority of LIP emplacement are shortly (< 500 kyr) preceded by an episode of up to 50m (average of 25m) eustatic sea-level fall, with return to pre-perturbation levels at the onset of LIP eruption.

description: This work by brother Alonso de Oropesa OSH († 1469) must be considered in the context of the attacks on converted Jews in Spain (and above all in Toledo), the so-called conversos.  As a general of the Order of the Hieronymites (since 1457), but also as a close confidant and adviser of King Henry IV of Castile (1454-1474), Alonso advocated a tolerant attitude towards converted Jews. In 1450, he began writing the 'Lumen ad revelationem gentium et gloria plebis Dei Israel' - De unitate fidei et de concordia et pacifica equalitate fidelium (f. 1-203, Tabula 204-207); in 1465, he dedicated the completed book of 52 chapters to the Archbishop Alfonso Carrillo of Toledo (1410-1485). The announced second part of the work apparently was never written.In 1979, Luis A. Diaz y Diaz prepared a Spanish translation based on the three manuscripts then known. The present manuscript has not yet been acknowledged in research; it thus constitutes the fourth manuscript known so far. It was certainly written still in the 15th century and is made up of parchment and paper leaves. Despite its significance, no Latin text edition of the work has yet been prepared.

description:
Annual lake sediments are excellent high-resolution archives for reconstructing historical pollution. Usually, pollution reconstructions date back to the beginning of industrialization in the early 19th century. Here, we present a long-term record form Lake Stadtsee located in the city of Bad Waldsee. Using historical written documents, the history of pollution can be linked to the economic activities in the city. In an absolutely dated sediment core we explored the concentration and composition patterns of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals together with macro charcoal record at 1 cm steps.

First findings indicate that PAHs were primarily derived from pyrogenic, rather than petrogenic sources throughout the entire time interval. These most probably correspond to urban fire or domestic heating. The general trend observed by using PAH diagnostic ratios, is that the sources have shifted from low temperature pre-industrial combustion processes towards high temperature combustion processes in more recent times. Macro charcoal analysis revealed two main phases of biomass burning, which were separated by a fire free interval for more than 200 years. The first phase in the late Medieval period (653−533 cal BP), shows high proportions of burned grass and monocot leaves, whereas in the second phase in the early Modern Times (313 cal BP until today) wood was the main fire fuel. The molecular ratio pattern of specific methylated-phenanthrene isomers also indicates a change of fuel sources. Heavy metal analyses are currently being conducted. We expect chemical signatures of historical town main crafts (tanneries, smithies, textile bleaching).

description:
The Rosenhof Member is part of the Lower Cambrian Fish River Subgroup of the Nama Group in southern Namibia (Groß Aub Formation). The sediments of the Nama Group are deposited in two basins, the northern Zaris Subbasin and the southern Witpütz Subbasin. Both are separated by the Osis Arch, a basement updoming (Germs, 1974; Grotzinger and Miller, 2008). While the basal two Nama subgroups are influenced by these two basins and their paleorelief, the uppermost Fish River Subgroup sediments overstep the Osis Arch and cover previous deposits with an unconformity. Deposits of the Fish River Subgroup are represented by Lower Cambrian shales and sandstones (e.g. Grotzinger and Miller, 2008).

The sandstones of the Rosenhof Member show distinct sedimentary patterns that allow the interpretation as fluvial deposits originating from the north (e.g. Geyer, 2005). They were deposited after the final collision of the Kalahari Craton (south) and the Congo Craton (north) that created the Damara Orogen. The latter is discussed as a major sedimentary source area for the studied deposits covering southern Namibia (Kalahari Craton). For this purpose, the Rosenhof Member was sampled and studied at various locations, covering occurrences from its northern outcrops until its most southern ones. This sample set allows the study of changes in the sedimentary pattern of a particular member over an area of about 300 km.

This talk presents sedimentary structures combined with heavy mineral analyses (U-Pb on zircon and apatite) and discusses possible sedimentary source areas, as well as sedimentary mixing and homogenisation.

description: Felix Lope de Vega y Carpio (1562-1635), author of many comedias de santos, finished this Historia de Barlán y Josafat, comedia in three acts and in verse at home „En Madrid a primero de febrero de 1611.“ This complete manuscript contains numerous corrections and revisions by the author. This story of a conversion is more than an authentic Christian legend (then attributed to Saint John of Damascus) — it is above all a Christianized story. In the prince, who first gives up his palace in order to learn about the plagues of the world and then leaves his throne for the meditative life of an ascetic, one certainly recognizes Buddha. The edifying Christian story, set at the banks of the Ganges, is nothing other than an adaptation of Vie du Bodhisattva, a 2nd-4th century Sanskrit text, which over centuries was translated and adapted first by the Manichaeans, then by the Arabs, Georgians and Byzantines, until it finally reached the far distant people of the Western World: Lope de Vega’s work thus (without the author’s having been aware of this) is part of one of the  most impressive chains of intellectual transmission in history.

A sample of the leucomonzogranite from the central area of the Meißner Massif (Germany, Saxony), also known as 'Riesensteingranit', was the subject of round 51 of the GeoPT proficiency testing programme that included participation by 112 geoanalytical laboratories from 43 countries.

In the 1960s, the ‘Riesensteingranit’ was previously sampled and certified as the reference material GM by the Zentrales Geologisches Institut Berlin (German Democratic Republic) in the 1960s, in accordance with the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance Standard 2299 (1) .

To enable full certification of materials from the GeoPT proficiency testing programme in accordance with the latest version of ISO Guide 35:2017, a rigorous certification protocol has been developed and published (2).

This protocol has now been applied for the first time in GeoPT Round 51. Certified values for the new certified reference material IAG GMN-1, Meissen granite is certified for nine major elements and thirty-nine trace elements, values of which are reported together with a thorough description of the sample (3). These results are presented and compared with the data from GM.

description:
First phase of the GRIND project (Geological Research through Integrated Neoproterozoic Drilling) is focused on the Ediacaran-Cambrian Transition (GRIND-ECT) in southern Namibia. The drills are cored into Lower Kuibis and the Upper Schwarzrand subgroups. Both form part of the Nama Group. Within the mixed siliciclastic-carbonate succession several ash layers occur. According to U-Pb TIMS ages of ash layers such sequences were deposited in a timeframe of c. 555 to 538.35 Ma during the Late Ediacaran to the Early Cambrian. Six boreholes were drilled into the sedimentary sequence and cover most parts from the Kanies to the Spitskop members. Whole-rock geochemistry in selected sediments provide clues to show shifts in the plate tectonic setting, the palaeo-environment and the evolution of life. In this regard, major and trace element contents in both subgroups are generally higher than values suggested for the Upper Continental Crust, while varying with respect to the Post-Archaean Australian Shale. Ratios such as SiO2/Al2O3, Al2O3/Na2O or K2O/Na2O indicate slightly higher compositional maturity in the lower subgroup than in the upper one. Trace element ratios such as Th/Sc, La/Sc, Th/Sc, Cr/Th and La/Co indicate predominantly felsic sources. However, elements associated with mafic input such as Sc, Cr, Co are more abundant in the upper subgroup, while elements such as Zr and Hf, related to higher felsic elements from stable areas, are more frequent in the lower subgroup. Such key elements indicate a change of the tectonic evolution from a passive margin setting to a continental island arc scenario.

description: During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare systems worldwide faced severe strain. This study, utilizing wastewater virus surveillance, identified that periodic spontaneous avoidance behaviours significantly impacted infectious disease transmission during rapid and intense outbreaks. To incorporate these behaviours into disease transmission analysis, we introduced the Su-SEIQR model and validated it using COVID-19 wastewater data from Beijing and Hong Kong. The results demonstrated that the Su-SEIQR model accurately reflected trends in susceptible populations and confirmed cases during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the role of spontaneous collective avoidance behaviours in generating periodic fluctuations. These fluctuations helped reduce infection peaks, thereby alleviating pressure on healthcare systems. However, the effect of these spontaneous behaviours on mitigating healthcare overload was limited. Consequently, we incorporated healthcare capacity constraints into the model, adjusting parameters to further guide population behaviours during the pandemic, aiming to keep the outbreak within manageable limits and reduce strain on healthcare resources. This study provides robust support for the development of environmental and public health policies during pandemics by constructing an innovative transmission model, which effectively prevents healthcare overload. Additionally, this approach can be applied to managing future outbreaks of unknown viruses or “Disease X”.

title: U-Pb-ages of detrital zircon and apatite from recent river sands of the eastern Erzgebirge

description:
This talk presents radiometric ages and mineral sizes of detrital zircons and apatites representing six sediment samples from three different recent rivers of the eastern Erzgebirge: The Wilde Weißeritz, the Freiberger Mulde and the Müglitz. We took one sample from the upper and one from the lower reaches of each river.

The objectives were, (1) to find evidence for thermal, magmatic events in the apatites, (2) to record the U-Pb-spectrum of zircons for each sample, and (3) to improve insight into the transport behaviour and sediment composition of the studied rivers.

The apatites showed thermal overprinting of their U-Pb ages, which varied between ca. 306 Ma and ca. 328 Ma. Therefore, small, local thermal events seem to be more likely than one large event affecting the entire study area. The older ages are interpreted to represent the end of the Variscan Orogeny and the beginning of the post-Variscan magmatism. The younger ages are interpreted as later thermal overprinting by local magmatic events, possibly caused by heating events along the margins of the Erzgebirge Block at the beginning of the Permian magmatism.

The U-Pb-ages of the zircons represent the rocks of the hinterland of the specific rivers and show mainly Cadomian ages derived from the gneisses combined with (post-)Variscan ages from the igneous rocks. Therefore, the spectrum of zircons found at the sampling sites is dominated by the local rocks.

Interestingly, the detrital minerals analysed do not allow interpretation of very long sedimentary fluvial transport.

Fribourg/Freiburg, Archives de l'État de Fribourg/Staatsarchiv Freiburg, RN 9/1 : Registrum Lombardorum
Publisher: name: e-codices - Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
Year: 2024

description: The manuscript RN 9/1, which contains the oldest notarial register in the state archive of Fribourg, is from the chancellery of Pierre Nonans. It consists of two clearly separated parts. The first 110 leaves contain the ‘normal’ part, which comprises legal matters between 1 February 1356 (New Style) and 21 March 1359 (New Style). The second part begins in the opposite direction on folio 123, ending on folio 110, so that both parts meet on folio 110r. This second part constitutes a special register (fol. 110-123), which records the loans arranged between 1 March 1356 (New Style) and 20 March 1359 (New Style) with the Fribourg Lombards, moneylenders originally from Lombardy but residing in Fribourg since the late 13th century; this register bears the name Registrum Lombardorum. It is by this name that the entire register has become recorded in history.

description: Assisted vaginal delivery devices are used to reduce the need for C-sections in difficult births. Our goal was to design an assistive device that enhances the safety and efficiency of vaginal deliveries. The device should assist vaginal delivery and be easy to use, low-cost, reusable, and functional without electricity. Our design is a modular vacuum device that reduces the cost of assisted delivery compared to current devices. The modular device is fully sanitizable and includes a traction and vacuum pressure gauge to ensure the safety of both the birthing patient and the fetus, along with safeguards against excessive traction force.

description: Hysteroscopies are an important part of effective gynecological healthcare, yet access to doctors trained in hysteroscopies in resource-constrained countries, such as Ghana, can be challenging. The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana currently lacks the ability to effectively train doctors to perform hysteroscopies. To combat this problem, a hysteroscopy simulator was identified as one aspect of a larger training program to be implemented to increase hysteroscopy training. The simulator should be medium cost ($200-$500), medium fidelity, anatomically accurate, and feedback oriented, allowing doctors to practice key steps in hysteroscopy. It should be durable and adjustable for varied scenarios.

description:
Often, geological models are generated based on information obtained from exploration data, e.g. borehole records. These borehole records contain descriptions and interpretations about petrography (lithology) and stratigraphy, respectively. The information is crucial for modeling the spatial distribution of lithostratigraphic layers. However, the interpretation of the drilling profiles is error-prone as it depends on several factors, including date of recording, exploration target, quality of digitalization of the borehole record and the human interpretation bias of the responsible expert, among others. Due to the large number of boreholes drilled during explorations, separating adequate from insufficient drilling profiles is of great importance, yet rather difficult. While visual inspection of the inferred geological model is a viable approach it results in numerous iterations to filter inadequate drilling profiles which is time-consuming and expensive.

               We present a Python-based software package that predicts the quality of lithostratrigraphic data from borehole records based on several criteria. Using pre-checked reference drilling profiles, we train a random forest model to predict the quality of non-checked drilling profiles for geologically comparable regions. The aforementioned selection criteria as well as the predictors are individually definable by the software user.

               As a study area, we selected a former lignite mining area of Lusatia bordering the Federal State of Brandenburg and the Free State of Sachsen (Saxony). Here, 71 pre-checked and classified drilling profiles exist which are combined with erroneous synthetic profiles and used to train the random forest model to predict the quality of the >3000 remaining profiles.

description: This Merovingian composite manuscript, which was created in Bourges, originally consisted of six independent parts, which were written by different, often not very practiced hands in various phases. Most of the close to thirty individual pieces are texts from grammatical, patristic, computistic and medical works. The longer pieces are interspersed with further excerpts, partly written in Tironian notes. One quaternio from the only partially preserved third part is today held in Paris (BN lat. 10756). Noteworthy is the palimpsest in the fifth part, whose undertexts were probably written in Italy in the 7th century and in the second half of the 5th century respectively.
