description: The recent demand for renewable energies has sparked interest in geothermal energy in Switzerland. In order to have the most efficient energy transition possible, knowledge of the environment where this type of energy can be extracted is needed. The Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geo-Energies (BULG) provides such an environment, consisting of crystalline rock masses with fractures and faults. These fractures and faults are the primary conduits for the transport of heated fluids needed for geothermal energy. In order to investigate the present fracture network in BULG, ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements have been conducted in several boreholes. Despite the fact that GPR offers a cost-effective and non-destructive way of investigating the borehole environment, one always has to consider that higher-frequency surveys do not reach as far into the formation compared to lower-frequency surveys. This is caused by several factors such as, but not limited to, attenuation. Ideally one desires to be able to look at the data further away from the borehole with higher resolution, but this data is often covered in noise. This thesis explores the possibility of developing a machine learning tool that is able to detect present structures such as fractures in the borehole environment (image-segmentation), as well a tool that is able to convert the lower-frequency datasets further away from the borehole into higher-frequency datasets (super-resolution). To achieve this, a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been trained with synthetic data that emulates the GPR responses from the available data from BULG. The image-segmentation method proves to perform well on the field data from BULG after training the algorithm with images of the synthetic GPR responses. This then leads to the conclusion that one can apply the same synthetic data, as well as a similar deep learning approach for the super-resolution method. Even though this method did not prove to work for this thesis, it is expected for the approach to succeed during further investigations outside of this limited time-frame. Altogether one is able to state that the image-segmentation method provides a tool that enhances the detectability of fractures and is able to help obtain statistics on the present fracture network and its properties during further research. It is expected for the super-resolution method to work in the near future, giving one the opportunity to combine both methods in order to retrieve more information on the present fracture network.

description: We describe an experiment to measure calibration sources, the polarization of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) and the polarization induced on the CMBR from S-Z effects, using a polarimeter, MITOPol, that will be employed at the MITO telescope. Two modulation methods are presented and compared: an amplitude modulation with a Fresnel double rhomb and a phase modulation with a modified Martin-Puplett interferometer. A first light is presented from the campaign (summer 2003) that has permitted to estimate the instrument spurious polarization using the second modulation method.

description: In March 2024, as part of the PROARCO II project (Nakamura et al. 2021) directed by Seiichi Nakamura, a remarkable fragment of an Early Classic stela with hieroglyphic inscription was discovered at the archaeological site of Copán, Honduras, on the western side of the platform of Structure 10L-11 (Figure 1). This monument, designated Stela 64, bears the calendrical date 9.1.10.0.0 (July 7, A.D. 465) on its front and, with the mention of Rulers 4 and 6 on the reverse, can be placed in the early dynastic history of this site. Examination of the inscription shows that the date 9.1.10.0.0 is associated with the ruler K'altuun Hix, or Ruler 4, while the stela was probably erected during the reign of Ruler 6, who is associated with the date 9.3.0.0.0 (January 31, A.D. 495) on Copán Stela 28. It can be assumed that Stela 64, with its partially retrospective text, was created in the context of this end of K'atun.

 Kouhbanan fault is known as one of the faults that caused many seismic events in Iran. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of tectonics in the development and geometry of the alluvial fans adjacent to this fault. To achieve more accurate results some morphometric indices measured and analysed after considering various factors such as weather, catchment area, regional lithology, tectonic setting, roughness index and field survey. Accordingly, the alluvial fans that were most affected by tectonic were identified.

description: Since the work of Ferrenberg et al.[PRL 69, (1992)] some pseudo random number generators are known to yield wrong results in cluster Monte Carlo simulations. In this contribution the fundamental mechanism behind this failure is discussed. Almost all random number generators calculate a new pseudo random number $x_i$ from preceding values, $x_i = f(x_{i-1}, x_{i-2},..., x_{i-q})$. Failure of these generators in cluster Monte Carlo simulations and related experiments can be attributed to the low entropy of the production rule $f()$ conditioned on the statistics of the input values $x_{i-1},...,x_{i-q}$. Being a measure only of the arithmetic operations in the generator rule, the conditional entropy is independent of the lag in the recurrence or the period of the sequence. In that sense it measures a more profound quality of a random number generator than empirical tests with their limited horizon.

description: Optical methods of enantiomeric-specific state transfer had been proposed theoretically based on a cyclic three-level system of chiral molecule. According to these theoretical methods, recently the breakthrough progress has been reported in experiments [S. Eibenberger et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 123002 (2017); C. Pérez et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 56, 12512 (2017)] for cold gaseous chiral molecules but with low state-specific enantiomeric enrichment. One of the limiting factors is the influence of the thermal population in the selected three purely rotational states in experiment. Here, we theoretically propose an improved optical method of enantiomeric-specific state transfer to effectively evade such an adverse impact of thermal population by introducing ro-vibrational transitions for the cyclic three-level system of chiral molecules. Then, at the typical temperature in experiments approximately only the lowest state in the chosen three-level system is thermally occupied and the optical method of enantiomeric-specific state transfer works well. Comparing with the case of purely rotational transitions where all the three states are thermally occupied, this modification will remarkably increase the obtained state-specific enantiomeric enrichment with enantiomeric excess approximately 100%.

description: We present a mathematical model for a physical theory that is compatible with Einstein's Special Relativity Theory. Our model consists of three pseudo-complex dimensions, representing three real dimensions of space, dual to what could be interpreted as three real dimensions of time. We use the term "pseudo-complex", since the mathematical object representing each paired space-time coordinate in our model, is a two-dimensional space over $\mathbb{R}$ whose multiplication makes it into a non-commutative non-associative algebra. We have been unable to find records of this very elementary mathematical object in the literature.

We demonstrate that a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) argument holds for any cluster state: more precisely, it holds for any partial, thence mixed, state of a small number of connected qubits (five, in the case of one-dimensional lattices). In addition, we derive a new Bell inequality that is maximally violated by the 4-qubit cluster state and is not violated by the 4-qubit GHZ state.

Polarization of GRB by scattering off relativistically moving material: Compton sailing and high polarization

description: The polarization of gamma ray emission scattered off the baryon rich material that collimates a GRB fireball and the coasting speed of the irradiated matter are calculated numerically for different geometries of the radiation source and the collimating wall. It is shown that when the scattering material is Compton sailing, the direction of maximum polarization is quite generally well within the beaming cone of scattered radiation. As a result, the probability for observing bright highly polarized GRB's increases considerably, provided the Lorentz factor of the coasting matter is not well below 30, and the scattered radiation is highly polarized even when the beam thickness is large compared to $1/Γ$. It is suggested that correlation between polarization and intensity could provide clues as to whether energy flows from matter to photons or the reverse.

 Training courses in the industry are changing from face-to-face events to virtual equivalents. Although real-life field experience is missing in virtual trips, the main benefit is the availability of online training where and when needed, without travel and logistics costs. Acquiring 3D panoramic images for this purpose, as well as drone footage in geological outcrops, has nowadays become more and more accessible and easy to process, due to fast developments in hard- and software during the last decade. This has triggered the creation of virtual fieldtrips, mainly for training and development, but also for knowledge management and project support via difficult to access outcrop analogues. Virtual outcrop stops have been created, in which the learner can interactively gain knowledge about the geology and conduct exercises, almost like what would traditionally be done at the outcrop stops during a field visit. Carbonates in Oman were selected for the second virtual fieldtrip in Shell L, as they provide essential learning points for understanding carbonate reservoirs, applicable to many of the oil fields in Oman and the Middle East. The short videos presented here are part of a basic training set for geoscientists who follow the Shell Geosciences Training Programme, which is supported by a set of “learning nuggets” to complement the experience and understanding.

description: Results of in-plane and out-of-plane thermal conductivity measurements on $\rm La_{1.8-x}Eu_{0.2}Sr_xCuO_4$ ($0\leq x\leq0.2$) single crystals are presented. The most characteristic features of the temperature dependence are a pronounced phonon peak at low temperatures and a steplike anomaly at $T_{LT}$, i.e., at the transition to the low temperature tetragonal phase (LTT-phase), which gradually decrease with increasing Sr-content. Comparison of these findings with the thermal conductivity of $\rm La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$ and $\rm La_2NiO_4$ clearly reveals that in $\rm La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$ the most effective mechanism for phonon scattering is impurity-scattering (dopants), as well as scattering by soft phonons that are associated with the lattice instability in the low temperature orthorhombic phase (LTO-phase). There is no evidence that stripe correlations play a major role in suppressing the phonon peak in the thermal conductivity of $\rm La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$.

 Sulfate minerals are rare in the geological record prior to 2.2 Ga. This is consistent with prevalent anoxic conditions in the Earth’s surface environment prior to the great oxidation event, and correspondingly low levels of sulfate in the Archean ocean. In contrast to this general scarcity, extensive barite (BaSO4) deposits are found in sedimentary rocks of Paleoarchean age from 3.4 to 3.2 Ga. The origin of these barite minerals and barite-rich rocks has remained controversial to date. The sulfate in the barite was derived from volcanic aerosols as shown by multiple S isotope signatures distinctive for atmospheric photolysis [1]. This is thought to have mixed with hydrothermally-sourced barium to create primary seafloor precipitates [2]. The origin of the barite is important since it is a potential archive of variations in seawater chemistry. Here we explore the chemistry and mineralogy of barite deposits from the 3.2 Ga Mapepe Formation of the Barberton Greenstone Belt. Barite occurs here in close association with chert in the remnants of hydrothermal spring systems, and in a range of crystalline forms from bladed to granular [2]. Many beds of barite are reworked and contain detrital chromite, pyrite and Fe, Ti oxide phases. We used electron microprobe and Laser ablation ICP-MS analysis to determine the major and trace element composition of major lithologies in the spring systems. We used a range of trace element and stable isotope data to model the relative contributions of seawater and hydrothermal fluid required for barite deposition. Our results show that, depending upon the chosen mineral and lithological association, it is possible to obtain estimates of seawater composition for some elements and radiogenic or stable isotope systems.

citizen science reseach areas
EU project

description: Recent studies and experience indicate that environmental sciences are a predominant research topic in the citizen science landscape. However, many of these analyses associate each single project only with one main research area. This neglects the multi-disciplinary nature of many projects, which is also reflected in the diversity of participant backgrounds, project consortia and the practical orientation of projects. Catlin-Groves (2012) points out a paradigm shift that results in “a new synthesis of disciplinary areas”. To address this issue, we follow an analytical approach to assess research areas based on public project descriptions of 218 Zooniverse projects. In contrast to counting only the primary field of research, this approach respects this multi-disciplinary nature of citizen science and aggregates multiple research areas, which draws a different picture of the citizen science landscape. How to interpret this data  We analysed 218 project descriptions using text-analytics based on explicit semantic analysis (ESA). In contrast to prior research, we can assign multiple research areas to each project. The research areas are mapped using the web of science taxonomy, which consists of categories with several research areas in each category. Figure 1 shows the distribution of the top 20 research areas across all projects. Apart from “Biodiversity & Conservation”, “Remote Sensing” is a frequent area, which is plausible because many environmental projects also advance research and development in this area. Figure 2 presents the distribution over the five research categories. References: Catlin-Groves, C. L. (2012). The citizen science landscape: from volunteers to citizen sensors and beyond.

description: We have developed a theory of three-pulse coherent control of photochemical processes. It is based on adiabatic passage and quantum coherence and interference attributed to the lower-lying dissociation continuum and excited upper discrete states, which are otherwise not connected to the ground state by one-photon transitions. Novel opportunities offered by the proposed scheme are demonstrated through extensive numerical simulations with the aid of a model relevant to typical experiments. The opportunities for manipulating the distribution of the population among discrete and continuous states with any necessary ratio by the end of the pulses are demonstrated.

description: Crystallization of thin film materials by exploiting laser induced crystallization has been advancing for the past four decades. This unique thin film technique has been predominantly used in processing thin film materials made of a single chemical element; however, harnessing this technique to extend its use for thin film materials containing multiple chemical elements (e.g., metal oxides) unlocks applications currently not accessible. In this study, laser crystallization of a Cu2O strip was demonstrated. A continuous-wave laser diode with a micrometer-scale chevron-shaped beam profile (micro chevron laser beam) was used to crystallize CuO thin films covered with an amorphous carbon (a-C) cap layer, deposited on fused silica substrates. Electron backscatter diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used to investigate the crystallinity and optical properties of the Cu2O thin films revealing their unique characteristics associated with the crystallization process.

description: Mathematical method of quantum phase space is very useful in physical applications like quantum optics and non-relativistic quantum mechanics. However, attempts to generalize it for the relativistic case lead to some difficulties. One of problems is band structure of energy spectrum for a relativistic particle. This corresponds to an internal degree of freedom, so-called charge variable. In physical problems we often deal with such of dynamical variables that do not depend on this degree of freedom. These are position, momentum, and any combination of them. Restricting our consideration to this kind of observables we propose the relativistic Weyl--Wigner--Moyal formalism that contains some surprising differences from its non-relativistic counterpart.

description: Numerous studies indicate that tsunamis do not only occur in oceans but also in lakes. Lake Tsunamis are mainly caused by sublacustrine and subaerial mass movements that can be triggered by seismic or aseismic processes (Schnellmann et al. 2002, Strasser et al. 2007, Kremer at al. 2012, Hilbe and Anselmetti 2015). Such tsunamis can have devastating effects on the surrounding population and infrastructure.

To assess the tsunami hazard triggered by sublacustrine mass movements, the stability of the lake slopes needs to be examined. As a part of the SNSF funded SINERGIA project “Lake Tsunamis: Causes, Controls and Hazard”, we perform the slope stability analysis based on the comprehensive geotechnical in situ and laboratory dataset for the selected sites of Lake Lucerne, Central Switzerland.

During 2018-2019 dense geotechnical investigations were carried out along slope-perpendicular profiles at 10 sites where the slopes have failed in the past or are susceptible to failure and included more than 130 in-situ free-fall cone penetration tests with pore pressure measurement (CPTu) and laboratory analysis of 30 short sediment cores. Already existing reflection seismic dataset complements these data and provides the thickness of different sediment layers.

1D undrained, infinite slope stability analysis following Morgenstern and Price (1965) is used to define the Factor of Safety and critical conditions for deltaic and lateral slopes, where different triggers can be responsible for the failure. Based on the conducted analysis, static and dynamic stability together with critical failure conditions for different slopes in Lake Lucerne can be compared.

description: Anticipating the risks natural hazards pose to an urban environment requires an understanding of the shallow Earth structure of the region. While urban infrastructure often hinders the deployment of a traditional seismic array, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology facilitates the use of existing telecommunication fibre-optic cables for seismic observation, with spatial resolution down to the metre scale.

Through collaboration with the SWITCH foundation, we were able to use existing, in-situ fibres beneath Bern, Switzerland for seismic data acquisition over two weeks, covering a distance of 6 km with a spatial resolution of 2 m. This allowed for not only real-time visualisation of anthropogenic noise sources (e.g. road traffic), but also of the propagation of resulting seismic waves.

Data is analysed in the time and frequency domain to explore the range of signals captured and to assess the consistency of data quality along the cable. The local velocity structure can be constrained using both noise correlations and deterministic signals excited by traffic.

Initial results reveal the ability of DAS to capture signals over a wide range of frequencies and distances, and show promise for utilising urban DAS data to perform urban seismic tomography and hazard analysis.

description: We incorporate the generic hierarchical architecture of foodwebs into a "{\it unified}" model that describes both "micro" and "macro" evolutions within a single theoretical framework. This model describes the "micro" -evolution in detail by accounting for the birth, ageing and natural death of individual organisms as well as prey-predator interactions on a hierarchical dynamic food web. It also provides a natural description of random mutations and speciation/orgination of species as well as their extinctions. The distribution of lifetimes of species follows an approximate power law only over a limited regime.

description: Twinning-mediated plasticity has great potential for enhancing the strength and plasticity of Mg alloys, which is limited due to the lack of twin types. Here, we report a novel multistage twinning mode, i.e. the dominant twinning mode changes from single {101¯2} twins to the co-existence of {101¯2} and {112¯6} twins, in a deformed Mg-Al-Gd alloy. Introducing novel multistage twinning mode to accommodate strains appreciably along c-axes, combined with the interactions of high-density dislocations and dense twin boundaries, guarantees the high strain hardening of Mg alloys. These findings provide new insights into deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties of Mg-alloys. Introducing novel multistage twinning mode to accommodate strains appreciably along c-axes, combined with the interactions of high-density dislocations and dense twin boundaries, guarantees the high strain hardening of Mg alloys.

description: With the upside of high spatial and temporal sampling even in remote or urban areas using existing fiber-optic infrastructure, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is in the process of revolutionising the way we look at seismological data acquisition. However, recent publications show variations of the quality of DAS measurements along a single cable. In addition to site- and orientation effects, data quality is strongly affected by the transfer function between the deforming medium and the fiber, which in turn depends on the fiber-ground coupling and the cable properties. Analyses of the DAS instrument response functions in a limited part of the seismological frequency band are typically based on comparisons with well-coupled conventional seismometers for which the instrument response is sufficiently well known to be removed from the signal.

In this study, we extend the common narrow-band analyses to DAS response analyses covering a frequency range of five orders of magnitude ranging from ~4000 s period to frequencies up to ~100 Hz. This is based on a series of experiments in Switzerland, including (1) active controlled-source experiments with co-located seismometers and geophones, (2) low-frequency strain induced by hydraulic injection in a borehole with co-located Fiber-Bragg-Grating (FBG) strain-meters, and (3) local to teleseismic ice- and earthquake recordings with  co-located broadband stations.

Initial results show a site-unspecific, approximately flat instrument response for all experiments.

The initial results suggest that the amplitude and phase information of DAS recordings are sufficient for conventional geophysical methods such as event localisation, full-waveform inversion, ambient noise tomography and even event magnitude estimation. Despite the promising initial results, further engagement by the DAS community is required to evaluate the DAS performance and repeatability among different interrogation units and study sites.
