A new perspective on the punching resistance of edge columns with and without shear reinforcement applying refined measurement techniques

Despite edge columns being instrumental components of flat slabs, most punching research has focused on internal connections. Several particularities of edge columns, such as load eccentricity and moment transfer, require additional experimental investigat ...

Preprocessing Antarctic Weather Station (AWS) data in python

Michael Lehning, Franziska Gerber

There are many sources providing atmospheric weather station data for the Antarctic continent. However, variable naming, timestamps and data types are highly variable between the different sources. The published python code intends to make processing of di ...

Moored observations of turbulent mixing events in deep Lake Garda, Italy

Sebastiano Piccolroaz, Marco Toffolon

Deep water circulation and mixing processes are responsible for the transport of matter, nutrients and pollutants in deep lakes. Nevertheless, detailed continuous observations are rarely available. To overcome some of these deficiencies and with the aim of ...

Measurements of Atmospheric Variability during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Expedition

Julia Schmale

The MOSAiC expedition was designed to better understand the local and remote processes influencing the Arctic climate system. The Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the global average, a process known as Arctic amplification. One of the most ...

How does seismic anisotropy evolve as a function of mineralogical and textural changes across ductile shear zones? – an experimental and modelling approach

Henri Joseph François Gilles Leclère

Strain localization and the development of ductile shear zones in the middle and lower crust play major roles in lithosphere dynamics. Geophysical imaging of ductile shear zones is an issue for ore geology, for the understanding of the lithosphere rheology ...

On the fine vertical structure of the low troposphere over the coastal margins of East Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

In this study, 8 years of high-resolution radiosonde data at nine Antarctic stations are analysed to provide the first large-scale characterization of the fine vertical structure of the low troposphere up to 3 km altitude over the coastal margins of East A ...

Long-term cloud condensation nuclei number concentration, particle number size distribution and chemical composition measurements at regionally representative observatories

Athanasios Nenes, Julia Schmale

Aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) constitute the single largest uncertainty in anthropogenic radiative forcing. To reduce the uncertainties and gain more confidence in the simulation of ACI, models need to be evaluated against observations, in particular ag ...

Porosity evolution at the brittle-ductile transition in the continental crust: Implications for deep hydro-geothermal circulation

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mateo Alejandro Acosta, Michael Heap

Recently, projects have been proposed to engineer deep geothermal reservoirs in the ductile crust. To examine their feasibility, we performed high-temperature (up to 1000 degrees C), high-pressure (130 MPa) triaxial experiments on granite (initially-intact ...
