description: Permafrost warming has been observed all around the Arctic, however, variations in temperature trends and their drivers remain poorly understood. We present a comprehensive analysis of climatic changes spanning 25 years (1998–2023) at Bayelva (78.92094°N, 11.83333°E) on Spitzbergen, Svalbard. The quality controlled hourly data set includes air temperature, radiation fluxes, snow depth, rainfall, active layer temperature and moisture, and, since 2009, permafrost temperature. Our Bayesian trend analysis reveals an annual air temperature increase of 0.9 ± 0.5°C/decade and strongest warming in September and October. We observed a significant shortening of the snow cover by −14 ± 8 days/decade, coupled with reduced winter snow depth. The active layer simultaneously warmed by 0.6 ± 0.7°C/decade at the top and 0.8 ± 0.5°C/decade at the bottom. While the soil surface got drier, in particular during summer, soil moisture below increased in accordance with the longer unfrozen period and higher winter temperatures. The thawed period prolonged by 10–15 days/decade at different depths. In contrast to earlier top‐soil warming, we observed stable temperatures since 2010 and only little permafrost warming (0.14 ± 0.13°C/decade). This is likely due to recently stable winter air temperature and continuously decreasing winter snow depth. This recent development highlights a complex interplay among climate and soil variables. Our distinctive long‐term data set underscores (a) the changes in seasonal warming patterns, (b) the influential role of snow cover decline, and (c) that air temperature alone is not a sufficient indicator of change in permafrost environments, thereby highlighting the importance of investigating a wider range of parameters, such as soil moisture and snow characteristics.

description:
Oxygen isotopes (δ18O) from biogenic apatite are used for the calculation of seawater temperatures in paleoclimatic reconstructions. While conventional δ18O analyses by IRMS (isotope ratio mass spectrometry) requires sample quantities of more than 1 mg, in situ SIMS (secondary ion mass spectrometry) minimizes sample size and thus the risk of contamination of the primary δ18O signal. Despite this obvious advantage, there are some critical points that could influence the final δ18O values and their interpretation: (1) The conventional IRMS method exclusively measures the δ18O from the isolated PO43− group of biogenic apatite (Ca5(PO4, CO3, F)3(OH, F, Cl, CO3)). In contrast, SIMS releases the oxygen from all molecular groups and from organics. But, to what extent do these non-PO43− bound oxygen isotopes bias the final δ18O values? (2) Thermometer equations are based on IRMS analyses. Are these equations also applicable to SIMS data? (3) Thermometer equations assume, that the δ18O of seawater signature is –1‰ or 0‰ (VSMOW) for ice-free or ice-covered oceans, respectively. These data are based on sub-recent glacial-interglacial cycles and the associated δ18O seawater signatures. Whether the oxygen isotopic composition of seawater has changed during the earth history is still under debate.

Clarification of these aspects is crucial for a reliable assessment of δ18O values and the calculation of seawater temperatures. For this reason, we compare δ18O data of recent shark teeth analyzed by IRMS and SIMS. Our sharks lived during documented seawater temperatures, ph-values, and δ18O signatures and are therefore the ideal subjects for our study.

title: New insights from zircon and apatite saturation thermometry in selected Permo-Carboniferous igneous rocks of Central Europe
Creators: name: Zeug, Manuela

Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)

description:
The Late Palaeozoic continental rift system in Central Europe was the cause of pronounced magmatic activity, which led to the intrusion of numerous plutonic and subvolcanic bodies and voluminous pyroclastic deposits in numerous calderas. In particular, the petrogenetic evolution of magmatic systems provides an interesting field of research due to the heterogeneous composition of the basement. Hence, geothermometers are an important analytical tool for understanding such petrogenetic evolution and are used to determine the formation temperature of the post-orogenic igneous suite between the Altmark (Saxony-Anhalt) and the granulite massif (Saxony).

Calculated saturation temperatures of zircon and apatite from igneous rocks of the Central European Extension Province of the present study show two significant trends. The comparison of the saturation temperature values of zircon (TZrn) and apatite (TAp) from rocks of well-known Cenozoic deposits of the Basin and Range Province in the southwestern United States with that of the Central European Extension Province suggests that large differences between the saturation-temperature values (TAp >> TZrn) indicate a zoned magma chamber, while saturation-temperature values close to each other (TAp ≥ TZrn) indicate magma mixing.

description:
Critical metals like gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge) hold strategic importance in the development of modern technologies like optoelectronic devices, semiconductors, light-emitting diodes, and many more. The supply of these metals is not assured due to many reasons. Therefore, new sources and efficient recovery techniques needs to be identified. Thus, attention should be drawn to sources with very low concentrations of these metals which are usually neglected. This is due to high concentrations of contaminant metals and very low concentrations of critical metals. Thus, a highly specific, selective and sustainable process is needed. Siderophore assisted technology “GaLIophore” could be a solution. In GaLIophore, siderophore Desferroxamine B (DFOB) is used to selectively adsorb the metals Ga and Ge from industrial wastewater. DFOB is a highly selective molecule and forms a highly stable complex with Ga and Ge. Interaction of Ga and Ge with DFOB are quite unique and different from one other. Complexation of DFOB with Ge is preferred in acidic pH and presence of chloride ion. While Ga complexes with DFOB across the pH 3-9 and is also not affected by the presence of any anion. Furthermore, DFOB can be re-generated by the addition of excess of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at pH 3.5. This leads to the recovery of more than 90% of both the metals at the end and makes the process sustainable. Thus, this technology for the first time demonstrated a solution to recover these critical metals from low concentrated systems in a sustainable and eco-friendly manner.

description:
Neoproterozoic Nama Group sediments in SW Namibia provide an example of the interplay between the deposition of clastics and carbonates that do not obviously follow the “rules” of sequence stratigraphy. The unconformity surface beneath the sediments is planar and extensive. Basal interbedded carbonates and coarse clastics are overlain by a massive influx of fluvial clastics (Kliphoek Member). These fine upwards and are overlain by fine grained clastics with interbedded carbonates and minor turbidite sands (Aar Member) that contain most of the fossils found in this part of the Nama Group. Carbonate beds become more common towards the top of this member, which is overlain by a thick carbonate unit of region extent (Mooifontein Member).

Southwards the basal clastics (Kanies Member) become thicker, while carbonate beds in the overlying Mara Member are more dominant. The Kliphoek Member becomes finer grained but includes some coarse grained clastics, and the Aar Member contains more and thicker carbonate beds. Paleocurrents show a dominant sediment transport towards the west and southwest.

Questions posed by the stratigraphy include whether the basin subsided at a constant rate, where was the shoreline at any given time, where were the input points of the clastic sediments and how and why did the influx rate vary? Did changes in sea level, and therefore shoreline position, influence the deposition of carbonates, or was this mostly influenced by a lack of clastic influx? We do not have accurate ages for the sediments or the rate at which they were deposited.

description: Elevated stream temperatures under low‐flows, exacerbated by global warming, are a stressor that affects aquatic species directly or in combination with other stressors. Stream temperatures are influenced by energy fluxes across the air–water interface as well as by hydrological exchange processes occurring at the water–riverbed interface. Small‐scale stream temperature dynamics influenced by exchange flows are still underrepresented in stream temperature research. To investigate high‐resolution temperature dynamics and hydrological exchange processes at the sediment–water interface we applied fiber‐optic distributed temperature sensing (FO‐DTS) at two sites in the mountainous Kinzig catchment combined with mapping and measurement of additional environmental conditions. Two types of temperature anomalies could be observed at one site under conditions of low flow and high air temperature. Dampening effects coincided with riverine features such as pools, vegetation roots, fine sediment, and signs of streambank seepage which indicated hyporheic exchange flows. Increased heating of the substrate during the day was identified in shallow sections where sediment was exposed to the air and shading from riparian vegetation was patchy. At another site, at which the cable could not be buried because of the sediment composition, temperature anomalies in the overlying water indicated diffuse groundwater exfiltration. The results show that small‐scale processes in the hyporheic zone, low water tables, and riparian shading influence stream temperature in mountainous streams and can be identified with FO‐DTS under suitable conditions. The results improve our understanding of stream temperatures (in the hyporheic zone) and provide important information on how to improve hydrological modeling.

description: Elephants are known for strongly lateralized trunk behaviors, but the mechanisms driving elephant lateralization are poorly understood. Here, we investigate features of elephant mouth organization that presumably promote lateralization. We find the lower jaw of elephants is of narrow width, but is rostrally strongly elongated even beyond the jaw bone. Elephant lip vibrissae become progressively longer rostrally. Thus, elephants have two lateral dense, short microvibrissae arrays and central, less dense long macrovibrissae. This is an inversion of the ancestral mammalian facial vibrissae pattern, where central, dense short microvibrissae are flanked by two lateral macrovibrissae arrays. Elephant microvibrissae have smaller follicles than macrovibrissae. Similar to trunk‐tip vibrissae, elephant lip microvibrissae show laterally asymmetric abrasion. Observations on Asian zoo elephants indicate lateralized abrasion results from lateralized feeding. It appears that the ancestral mammalian mouth (upper and lower lips, incisors, frontal microvibrissae) is shaped by oral food apprehension. The elephant mouth organization radically changed, however, because trunk‐mediated feeding replaced oral apprehension. Such elephant mouth changes include the upper lip–nose fusion to the trunk, the super‐flexible elongated lower jaw, the loss of incisors, and lateral rather than frontal microvibrissae. Elephants’ specialization for lateral food insertion is reflected by the reduction in the centering effects of oral food apprehension and lip vibrissae patterns.

description:
The geothermal heat anomaly in northern Bavaria was first discovered in the late 1970s and has recently been more precisely localized. An elevated temperature of 57 °C estimated at a depth of 1000 m is estimated to be higher than that based on the normal geothermal gradient. The geothermal gradient is approximately 4.5 °C/100 m with a heat flow density of 110 - 130 mW/m². The location and extent of the geothermal anomaly are constrained by the limited number of deep wells, which has left the cause of the positive heat anomaly in the region enigmatic. In this study, we use geophysical methods and modeling to locate the granitic intrusion in the subsurface as a possible source of the observed high geothermal anomaly.

An important feature of the northern Bavarian subsurface is the presence of granitic intrusions covered by early Carboniferous turbidites and Permian graben and half-graben structures (Rotliegend sandstone), similar to those exposed setting in the western Bohemian Massif. By integrating the geological and geophysical data and modeling, we define the location and geometry of a granitic intrusion and estimate the depth to basement. Our 2D forward models predict the structural and stratigraphic setting satisfying observed geological and geophysical data. Our integrated methodology describes the granitic intrusion, the sedimentary cover, and the regional structural patterns relevant to ongoing deep geothermal exploration. This study contributes to subsurface characterization (e.g. potential reservoir and buried fault zones) and reduces risks associated with exploration and potential future development.

description:
The Kraichgau Terrane is a NE-SW elongated high-density body covered by Mesozoic sedimentary rocks and occupies the southwestern parts of the Saxo-Thuringian Zone in the Central European Variscides. Compared to other regions of the Saxo-Thuringian Zone, the Kraichgau Terrane is poorly studied owing to very limited subsurface data. We integrate reprocessed DEKORP-2S seismic reflection profile, filtered Bouguer gravity and total magnetic intensity data and show the regional subsurface litho-structure of the Kraichgau Terrane.

The seismic reflections show a stratified crust with high amplitude, continuous and subhorizontal middle and lower crust in the SE and NW separated by a central zone of medium to low amplitude and transparent area hosting several oppositely dipping high amplitude reflections. This central zone (CZ) is approximately 80 km wide along the DEKORP-2S profile, exhibits a high density anomaly and shows two distinct linear features on the vertical derivatives of the magnetic intensity data. Further NE along the DEKORP-3MVE profile, the CZ is approximately 20 km wide, is denser than surrounding areas, and exhibits a single linear feature on the vertical derivative of the magnetic data. This linear feature is correlated with exposed Early Paleozoic magmatic rocks known as the Vesser units.

In addition to the magnetic and gravity signature of the Vesser units, the tilt and vertical derivatives of the Bouguer gravity anomaly show several NE-SW linear structures in the central and southeastern parts of the Kraichgau Terrane. These linear structures are interpreted as the folded and overthrusted Saxo-Thuringian units during the Variscan tectonics.

description:
The present-day hyperarid Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, but its development in deep time is largely unknown. The inception of persistent Northern African aridification has been variously linked to the onset of Northern Hemisphere glaciation at the beginning of the Pleistocene. However, eolian bedforms and dust records, reinforced by modelling studies, indicate transient periods of aridity have started North Africa already in the latest Miocene during times of Northern Hemisphere cooling. For the globally warm Pliocene epoch intermittent aridity is suggested for the western Sahara by dust records from the Canary Islands. In contrast, onshore evidence of contemporary North African climate is missing, because of the lack of well-dated Neogene sections in the Sahara.

Here we present a thoroughly sedimentological, paleoenvironmental and geochronological investigation of the Neogene continental Wadi El Natrun Formation in the northern fringe of eastern Sahara (Wadi El Natrun, northern Egypt). We differentiate seven sedimentological facies types, each distinguished by characteristic palaeobiota. These are in an ascending order: braided river and overbank facies, which contain abundant fluvial and riparian vertebrates; a lacustrine black shale facies rich in phytoclasts; a lacustrine limestone facies with characean algae; a marine limestone facies with planktonic foraminifera and marine molluscs; a playa lake facies with a thalassosaline ostracod and gastropod fauna; an ephemeral stream facies with Skolithos and Ophiomorpha ichnofabrics; and finally an eolian dune facies with polydomic ichnofabrics.

These changes in sedimentological facies indicate the long-term temporal progression of desertification in Northern Africa well before the Quaternary.

description:
Handheld and portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers have evolved in recent years from being used primarily as metal sorting tools in scrap yards to becoming instruments of high analytical performance. However, this trend has not been fully embraced by the academic and research community, and there are several reasons for this. In this presentation we will provide a comprehensive description of the capabilities of these instruments, particularly in the context of geoanalysis and archaeometric research. We will cover typical analytical performance indicators, including instrument stability, limits of detection, precision and accuracy, and reproducibility of quantification. The latter is strongly influenced by different types of sample preparation, i.e., pressed pellets, packed powders, or loose powders - considerations that need to be addressed before taking these instruments into the field.

For analysis, we will use a TRACER 5g and different preparations of soils and archaeological ceramics. We will show that the different types of sample preparation lead to different quantifications, and we will evaluate what measures can be taken to avoid such pitfalls. Analysis of soils and ceramics directly in outcrop is a common practice that presents additional complexities for accurate elemental characterization. For this application, we will explore how the combination of sample characteristics, analytical questions, and XRF physics are directly related. The presentation will provide a realistic assessment of the analytical performance of portable XRF instruments by offering a robust analytical evaluation that dispels existing myths surrounding this technique.

description: This magnificent complete edition of the works of Virgil (Bucolics, Georgics, Aeneid) was given to the Benedictine Monastery of St. Martin in Tours by the Levite Berno (note and book curse on f. 1v). Virgil’s text is interspersed with numerous commentaries (scholia) from late antiquity by Servius and Donatus, which have been transmitted in this form almost exclusively in manuscripts from the Bongarsiana collection. However, Cod. 165 does not present the true Scholia Bernensia as in Cod. 167 und Cod. 172, but rather a collection by various scholiasts which was compiled in Tours — hence the name Scholia Turonensia.

description:
To enable large-scale underground hydrogen storage, porous rock formations can complement the storage space of salt caverns, which currently are investigated in first pilot tests in Germany. In porous rocks, mainly sandstone formations, several reactions and processes might impart on the storage of H2.

Here we present first data for five formations with an in depth petrographical and mineralogical characterization as well as experimental investigations with high partial pressures of H2 under near in situ pressure-temperature-conditions. The formations investigated include Tertiary sandstones (Bunte Niederrödern Schichten, Chatt), Tertiary limestone (Lithothamnienkalk), the Triassic Solling Sandstone and the Permian Wustrow and Schneverdingen Sandstone. For each formation, small diameter core plugs and thin sections were prepared from core samples for petrophysical and petrographic characterisation. One part of each core section has been crushed and milled, the pulverized rock material analysed for mineralogical and geochemical composition. In addition, the rock material was investigated in high-pressure experiments and the consumption of hydrogen quantified over a duration of 2 to 4 weeks. Overall, the hydrogen oxidation by H2-fluid-mineral surface reactions is limited; several mineralogical factors responsible for the oxidation are evident. Additional experiments investigating the kinetics of individual reactions, e.g. of iron oxides present in the rock material, complement the first assessment of geochemical reactions in these possible storage formations.

description: This complete edition of the works of Virgil (Bucolics, Georgics, Aeneid) is connected to Auxerre. In the beginning the manuscript contains numerous paratexts to Virgil, such as the vitae, Argumenta, etc.; beginning on f. 6v, the inner column is reserved for the text, the outer one for the scholia. Virgil’s text is interspersed with numerous commentaries (scholia) from late antiquity by Servius and Donatus, which in this form have been transmitted almost exclusively in manuscripts from the Bongarsiana collection. Cod. 167 presents the true Scholia Bernensia, but only the left column, not the right column of Cod. 172; whether it was copied from the latter remains in dispute.

title: Towards intelligent illumination systems: from the basics of light science to its application
Creators: name: Zandi, Babak

description: The development and design of lighting systems is closely linked to the physiology of the human visual system. Whereas with the first generation of light sources, the visual appearance of objects in an illuminated environment was only possible by adjusting the level of illuminance. In contrast, with modern semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED) systems, the emitted spectrum can be flexibly varied. This new degree of freedom has led to an interdisciplinary field of research, aiming to explore the effect of light on humans in terms of physiological, psychological and cognitive parameters and to model their mechanisms or make them quantifiable via mathematical metrics. Today’s quality assessment of light spectra is composed of metrics that combine colour perception, contrast sensitivity, visual sensation, non-visual responses and cognitive preference. A lighting system that takes these aspects into account is commonly referred to as an integrative lighting solution or Human Centric Lighting. This article describes the current knowledge about the human eye’s visual and non-visual processing system, the development of colour rendering metrics, and the light-induced effect on nocturnal melatonin suppression. Then, the basic concept of an intelligent and individually adaptable lighting system will be discussed.
 
Practical Relevance: This article deals with the basics of light science and covers the fundamental aspects of intelligent lighting systems, which with the help of multi-channel LED luminaires, could address the visual properties of light and the human circadian system separately via metameric spectra.

description:
Deep-time reconstruction of palaeoenvironments is of great importance for many geoscientific and life science disciplines. Various geoarchives provide information on ancient dust fluxes that affect climate and biodiversity and which also hold clues to palaeogeography. Furthermore, "rates" are integral to almost all related research questions, requiring the use of state-of-the-art dating techniques on various materials that act as dust traps.

Intercontinental dust fluxes, such as those from the African deserts to South America cause large-scale geo-bio interactions. Such wind-blown particles fertilise the vibrant ecosystems of the Amazon rainforrest, where the dust is rapidly metabolised or bioturbated by countless organisms. Saharan dust transported to Europe is also difficult to trace back through time, as single events rarely result in detectable deposits. This calls for alternatives to conventional drilling or outcrop studies. Datable dust archives containing detrital heavy minerals provide snapshots of dust transport in a high spatio-temporal resolution. Therefore, analyses like LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age determination on detrital zircon or SEM-EDX chemical characterisation on large numbers of individual terrestrial dust particles are applied.

However, even the most advanced techniques for exploiting new geoarchives are of limited benefit without information on the original dust sources and their availability over time. For this reason, the evolution of drainage systems through time is studied in particular, as rivers are often the primary source of desert sediments. This whole approach involves compilation and processing of large datasets, e.g. a circum-Atlantic zircon age database (N>5000, n>275000). Initial results are very encouraging and go beyond the proof-of-concept stage.

description: This complete edition of the works of Virgil is from Fleury. This manuscript contains only the Bucolics, the Georgics and the first five books of the Aeneid; the second part with books VI to XII is now in Paris (Bibliothèque Nationale, lat. 7929). In the beginning the manuscript contains the so-called Vita Donatiana and various slightly later texts. It is made with great calligraphic care so that the central column is always bordered on the right and on the left by a column of scholia. Cod. 172 is the principal textual witness of the scholia (commentaries) by Servius and Donatus, which have been transmitted in this form almost exclusively in manuscripts from the Bongarsiana collection.

description:
The Opalinuston-Formation in Southern Germany comprises a thick (>100 m) sequence of Middle Jurassic claystones. In parts of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, the formation has been designated as a sub-area by the Federal company for radioactive waste disposal (BGE), indicating that favorable geological conditions for the final disposal of high-level radioactive waste can be expected there. However, coherent geological data for the complete formation is often lacking. Here we present new data on the geological variability of the Opalinuston-Formation based on four drill cores, each of which penetrated through the entire formation, and parts of the over- and underlying rock strata outside the sub-area. After completion of the drilling work, the cores were examined in high resolution for their petrophysical properties and element distribution using non-destructive analytical tools such as XRF core scanner and multi-sensor core logger. Furthermore, one sample per core meter was taken for a precise stratigraphic classification of the rocks and a geochemical-mineralogical and sedimentological characterization. Results exhibit notable geological variability at the investigated localities, particularly with respect to the Si/Al ratio. This is interpreted as changes in grain size due to relative sea-level fluctuations during deposition, and is thus useful to reconstruct stacking patterns of parasequences. In summary, this contribution highlights the geological variability of the Opalinuston-Formation in Southern Germany and discusses the possibilities of a sequence stratigraphic approach to identify the most suitable parts of sub-areas in claystone formations for the final disposal of high-level radioactive waste.
