Upper bounds on technoemission rates from 60 years of "silence"

The lack of detection to date of electromagnetic technosignatures implies either that we have been unable to detect them due to incomplete sampling of the search space or that we cannot detect them because the Earth has been located during the entire histo ...

Year-round trace gas measurements in the central Arctic during the MOSAiC expedition

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot

Despite the key role of the Arctic in the global Earth system, year-round in-situ atmospheric composition observations within the Arctic are sparse and mostly rely on measurements at ground-based coastal stations. Measurements of a suite of in-situ trace g ...

The microbiome of cryospheric ecosystems

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis

The cryosphere includes those parts of Earth where water or soil is frozen, such as snow, ice, glaciers and permafrost soils. Here, the authors present a global inventory of cryospheric microbial communities and their genetic repertoires. ...

Long Spin Lifetime in Rare-Earth Single-Atom Magnets at Surfaces

Boris Sorokin

Further miniaturisation of magnetic storage devices requires an advent of new types of magnets, since classical ferromagnetic materials show lack of remanence at nano- and subnanoscale. A single atom can represent the smallest possible bit of information. ...

ClimateBench v1.0: A Benchmark for Data-Driven Climate Projections

Rodrigo Manuel Gonzalez, You Rao

Many different emission pathways exist that are compatible with the Paris climate agreement, and many more are possible that miss that target. While some of the most complex Earth System Models have simulated a small selection of Shared Socioeconomic Pathw ...

Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions

Tatiana Maillard

The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...

Toward a Collective Agenda on AI for Earth Science Data Analysis

Devis Tuia, Jan Dirk Wegner

In past years, we have witnessed the fields of geosciences and remote sensing and artificial intelligence (AI) become closer. Thanks to the massive availability of observational data, improved simulations, and algorithmic advances, these disciplines have f ...

Exploring the coupled ocean and atmosphere system with a data science approach applied to observations from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Irina Gorodetskaya, Christel Sybille Hassler, Katherine Colby Leonard, Robin Lewis Modini, Jenny Thomas, Sebastian Johannes Heinz-Josef Landwehr, Alireza Moallemi, Fernando Perez Cruz

The Southern Ocean is a critical component of Earth's climate system, but its remoteness makes it challenging to develop a holistic understanding of its processes from the small scale to the large scale. As a result, our knowledge of this vast region remai ...

Sun-synchronous repeat ground tracks and other useful orbits for future space missions

Sun Hee Kim, Luzius Gregor Kronig

The development of oceanography and meteorology has greatly benefited from satellite-based data of Earth's atmosphere and ocean. Traditional Earth observation missions have utilised Sun-synchronous orbits with repeat ground tracks due to their advantages i ...

PyFrac: A planar 3D hydraulic fracture simulator

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia

Fluid driven fractures propagate in the upper earth crust either naturally or in response to engineeredfluid injections. The quantitative prediction of their evolution is critical in order to better understandtheir dynamics as well as to optimize their cre ...
