A strategy for an accurate estimation of the basal permittivity in the Martian North Polar Layered Deposits

This paper deals with the investigation of the Mars subsurface by means of data collected by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding working at few megahertz frequencies. A data processing strategy, which combines a simple inversion ...

Sediment transport and flow conditions in steep rivers with large immobile boulders

Tamara Ghilardi

In steep mountain rivers, morphological features such as large mostly immobile boulders, strongly influence flow behavior and bedload transport. Without taking into account these large immobile boulders, which are acting as macro-roughness elements, classi ...

A comparison between remotely-sensed and modelled surface soil moisture (and frozen status) at high latitudes

Isabelle Amandine Gouttevin

In this study, the combined surface status and surface soil moisture products retrieved by the ASCAT sensor within the ESA-DUE Permafrost project are compared to the hydrological outputs of the land surface model ORCHIDEE over Northern Eurasia. The objecti ...

Portable Amperometric Perchlorate Selective Sensors with Microhole Array-water/organic Gel Interfaces

Hubert Girault

A novel stick-shaped portable sensing device featuring a microhole array interface between the polyvinylchloride- 2-nitrophenyloctylether (PVC-NPOE) gel and water phase was developed for in-situ sensing of perchlorate ions in real water samples. Perchlorat ...
