THIN SHEET AUTOMATIC INTERPRETATION OF DIKE SWARM MAGNETIC TRANSECTS USING REGULARIZED SECOND DERIVATIVES

Carlos Alberto Mendonca, Felipe L. Cavalcante, Janaina A. Melo

Published: 2023-06-30
Subjects: Geophysics and Seismology

Dike swarms are major continental structures recording large igneous provinces and crustal extension processes generating rifts and sedimentary basins. A key point in dike swarm studies is determining a minimum number of dikes that are necessary to explain the observed magnetic anomalies and inferences about position and depth for specific unities. We develop an automatic interpretation procedure [...]

Performance evaluation of a simple feed-forward deep neural network model applied to annual rainfall anomaly index (RAI) over Indramayu, Indonesia

Sandy Hardian Susanto Herho, Dasapta Erwin Irawan, Faiz Rohman Fajary, et al.

Indramayu is a district in West Java that is known for being the leading producer of rice and brackish salt. The production of these two commodities is strongly influenced by hydroclimatological conditions, making accurate and reliable long-term estimates crucial. In this study, we evaluated a simple feed-forward deep neural network (DNN) model that could potentially be used as a candidate for [...]

Engaging the Earth Science and Engineering Communities in Developing a River Morphology Information System (RIMORPHIS)

Amanda L Cox, Marian Muste, Venkatesh Merwade, et al.

Published: 2023-06-29
Subjects: Engineering, Physical Sciences and Mathematics

ABSTRACT: River morphology data are critical for understanding and studying river processes and for managing rivers for multiple socio-economic uses. While such data have been acquired extensively over time, several issues hinder their use for river morphology studies such as data accessibility, variety of data formats, lack of data models for data storage, and lack of processing tools to [...]

OpenStreetMap for Multi-Faceted Climate Risk Assessments

Evelyn Mühlhofer, Chahan M. Kropf, David N. Bresch, et al.

Published: 2023-06-29
Subjects: Environmental Sciences, Geographic Information Sciences, Risk Analysis

Natural hazards pose significant risks to human lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of climate risks for effective adaptation planning and risk management. However, climate risk assessments mostly focus on economic asset values and infrastructures such as roads and buildings, because publicly available data on more diverse exposures are scarce. The [...]

Global 1km Land Surface Parameters for Kilometer-Scale Earth System Modeling

Lingcheng Li, Gautam Bisht, Dalei Hao, et al.

Published: 2023-06-28
Subjects: Atmospheric Sciences, Biogeochemistry, Climate, Earth Sciences, Hydrology, Meteorology, Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences and Meteorology

Earth system models (ESMs) are progressively advancing towards the kilometer scale (k-scale). However, the surface parameters for Land Surface Models (LSMs) within ESMs running at the k-scale are typically derived from coarse resolution and outdated datasets. This study aims to develop a new set of global land surface parameters with a resolution of 1 km for multiple years from 2001 to 2020, [...]

Near-surface characterization using Distributed Acoustic Sensing in an urban area: Granada, Spain

Yang Li, Mathieu Perton, Beatriz Gaite, et al.

Published: 2023-06-28
Subjects: Earth Sciences

The Granada Basin in southeast Spain is an area of moderate seismicity. Yet, it hosts some of the highest seismic hazards in the Iberian Peninsula due to the presence of shallow soft sediments amplifying local ground motion. In urban areas, seismic measurements often suffer from sparse instrumentation. An enticing alternative to conventional seismometers is the Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) [...]

Single-blind test of nine methane-sensing satellite systems from three continents

Evan David Sherwin, Sahar Head El Abbadi, Philippine M. Burdeau, et al.

Published: 2023-06-28
Subjects: Atmospheric Sciences, Other Civil and Environmental Engineering

Satellite-based remote sensing enables detection and mitigation of large point sources of climate-warming methane. These satellites will have the greatest impact if stakeholders have a clear-eyed assessment of their capabilities. We performed a single-blind test of nine methane-sensing satellites from three continents and five countries, including both commercial and government satellites. Over [...]

Global protection from tropical cyclones by coastal ecosystems - past, present, and under climate change

Sarah Hülsen, Robert I. McDonald, Rebecca Chaplin-Kramer, et al.

Published: 2023-06-28
Subjects: Environmental Sciences, Nature and Society Relations, Risk Analysis

Coastal ecosystems have the potential to contribute to disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change. While previous studies have estimated the value of current coastal ecosystems for reducing coastal risk, there have been relatively few studies that look at changes in ecosystem service provision, in the past and under climate change. We employ the probabilistic, event-based CLIMADA [...]

Subseasonal Variability of U.S. Coastal Sea Level from MJO and ENSO Teleconnection Interference

Marybeth Arcodia, Emily Becker, Ben P. Kirtman

Published: 2023-06-28
Subjects: Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences and Meteorology, Physical Sciences and Mathematics

Climate variability affects sea levels as certain climate modes can accelerate or decelerate the rising sea level trend, but subseasonal variability of coastal sea levels is under-explored. This study is the first to investigate how remote tropical forcing from the MJO and ENSO impact subseasonal U.S. coastal sea level variability. Here, composite analyses using tide gauge data from six coastal [...]

Geostationary satellite observations of extreme methane emissions from a natural gas pipeline

Marc Watine-Guiu, Daniel J. Varon, Itziar Irakulis-Loitxate, et al.

Published: 2023-06-27
Subjects: Physical Sciences and Mathematics

We demonstrate geostationary satellite monitoring of a large methane point source with the U.S. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) constellation. GOES provides continuous 5–10-minute coverage of the Americas at 0.5–2 km nadir pixel resolution in 16 spectral bands. We use the shortwave infrared bands to track the full evolution of an extreme methane release from the El Encino [...]

Spatiotemporal Variation in Cave Percolation Waters: A Functional Approach
