An ocean-climate model that shows high fluxes of anthropogenic carbon dioxide into the Southern Ocean, but very low storage of anthropogenic carbon there, agrees with observation-based estimates of ocean storage of anthropogenic carbon dioxide. This low simulated storage indicates a subordinate role for deep convection in the present-day Southern Ocean. The primary mechanism transporting anthro...

Introduction: The Mars Exploration Rover Mössbauer spectroscopy team identified jarosite, a sulfate which forms in the presence of water, in spectra of a layered outcrop in Meridiani Planum [1]. They made this assignment based on a doublet with quadrupole splitting of ~1.22 mm/s at T=200-280K that was assigned to either Kor Na-jarosite with the possibility of some Al substituting for Fe in octa...

*Correspondence: Alex Hansen, Department of Physics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, N–7491 Trondheim, Norway e-mail: [email protected] We propose a mapping from fracture systems consisting of intersecting fracture sheets in three dimensions to an abstract network consisting of nodes and links. This makes it possible to analyze fracture systems with the methods developed withi...

The characterization of heterogeneous fracture patterns in complex reservoirs, such as folds, is difficult, as multiple stages of fracturing and fracture reactivation take place pre-, synand post-folding. Outcrop studies help understand the behavior of fractures and subsequent fluid flow in folds, as outcrops provide both small-scale fracture patterns and the large-scale fold geometry. We aim a...

In this paper, based on the gneiss outcrop of Bozhong 196 gas field in China, uniaxial compression and Brazil splitting tests were conducted by using cores different orientations. The following properties studied: elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio compressive strength outcrop. tensile peak energy rate results demonstrate following: (1) strength, specimens with horizontal core-taking are greater ...

In this study, we analyze the fault and fracture network of Middle Triassic carbonate platform Lastoni di Formin (Italian Dolomites, Italy). The reconstruction deformation history is primary importance for a full comprehension present structural setting platform. huge dimensions body superb exposure its vertical cliffs gently dipping top plateau make an ideal outcrop to integrate traditional fi...

Introduction: The Autonomous Exploration Gathering for Increased Science (AEGIS) software suite [1] was uploaded to the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission’s Curiosity rover in late 2015 and tested on the surface of Mars over several months [2]. On 6 May 2016, the system was approved for use by the MSL science operations team, and first ran in routine science operations on sol 1343. This abst...
