Snapshots of mean ocean temperature over the last 700,000 yr using noble gases in the EPICA Dome C ice core

Adrien Michel

Together with the latent heat stored in glacial ice sheets the ocean heat uptake carries the lion’s share of glacial/interglacial changes in the planetary heat content but little direct information on the global mean ocean temperature (MOT) is available to ...

Crystal electric field excitations in the quantum spin liquid candidate NaErS2

Daniel Biner, Christian Rüegg

The delafossite family of compounds with a triangular lattice of rare earth ions has been recently proposed as a candidate host for quantum spin liquid (QSL) states. To realize QSLs, the crystal electric field (CEF) ground state of the rare earth ions shou ...

Data-driven method for low-carbon building design at early stages

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

The Paris agreement on climate change called for carbon neutrality as of 2050. The built environment is one of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect, representing 39% of global emissions. As a result, this sector is targeted by green standards an ...

Frustrated Lewis pair-mediated fixation of CO2 within a metal-organic framework

Paul Joseph Dyson, Kyriakos Stylianou, Ngoc Tú Nguyên, Arunraj Chidambaram, Serhii Shyshkanov

Finding pragmatic solutions to curb the accumulation of atmospheric CO2 and tackle the associated greenhouse effect is challenging. Herein, we demonstrate the use of an in situ formed frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) within a metal-organic framework (MOF) to ef ...

A Reassessment of of the geochemical and isotopic fidelity of biogenic carbonates

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Arthur Adams, Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro, Jinming Guo, Sylvain Louis Bernard, Tarek Axel Vennemann

Oxygen isotope compositions of calcite foraminifera tests are considered to be a robust palaeotemperature proxy at earth-surface conditions, where diffusion is slow. Recrystallization of tests during diagenesis may be optically identified and is often the ...

Thermoelasticity of Fe3+- and Al-bearing bridgmanite: Effects of iron spin crossover

Matteo Cococcioni

We report ab initio (LDA + U-sc) calculations of thermoelastic properties of ferric iron (Fe3+)- and aluminum (Al)-bearing bridgmanite (MgSiO3 perovskite), the main Earth forming phase, at relevant pressure and temperature conditions and compositions. Thre ...

Coupled multiphase thermo-hydro-mechanical analysis of supercritical CO2 injection: benchmark for the In Salah surface uplift problem

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Li

CO2 storage in deep aquifers, which is considered one of the most viable technologies, is delivering on its promise of limiting the greenhouse effect. Nevertheless, deep aquifers may experience significant deformation and geomechanical instabilities, such ...

Geomechanical modelling of CO₂ injection in deep aquifers

Chao Li

CO2 sequestration in deep geological formations is considered as a promising technology to reduce the impact of CO2 on the greenhouse effect. Practically, large-volume of CO2 could be injected into a system that consists of a highly porous host reservoir c ...

A unique coral biomineralization pattern has resisted 40 million years of major ocean chemistry change

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

Today coral reefs are threatened by changes to seawater conditions associated with rapid anthropogenic global climate change. Yet, since the Cenozoic, these organisms have experienced major fluctuations in atmospheric CO2 levels (from greenhouse conditions ...

Composition of the core from gallium metal-silicate partitioning experiments

James Badro

Gallium concentration (normalized to CI chondrites) in the mantle is at the same level as that of lithophile elements with similar volatility, implying that there must be little to no gallium in Earth's core. Metal-silicate partitioning experiments, howeve ...

The influence of atmospheric circulation on the mid-Holocene climate of Europe: a data-model comparison

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Achille Mauri, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins

The atmospheric circulation is a key area of uncertainty in climate model simulations of future climate change, especially in mid-latitude regions such as Europe where atmospheric dynamics have a significant role in climate variability. It has been propose ...

Flooding of the continental shelves as a contributor to deglacial CH4 rise

Jed Oliver Kaplan

The transition from the last glacial and beginning of BollingAllerod and Pre-Boreal periods in particular is marked by rapid increases in atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations. The CH4 concentrations reached during these intervals, similar to 650750 ppb ...

Pollen-based continental climate reconstructions at 6 and 21 ka: a global synthesis

Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis

Subfossil pollen and plant macrofossil data derived from C-14-dated sediment profiles can provide quantitative information on glacial and interglacial climates. The data allow climate variables related to growing-season warmth, winter cold, and plant-avail ...

Response of terrestrial N2O and NOx emissions to abrupt climate change

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Mirjam Pfeiffer

Being a potent greenhouse gas, N2O emitted by the terrestrial biosphere during abrupt climate change events could have amplified externally forced warming. To investigate this possibility, we tested the sensitivity of terrestrial N2O emissions to an abrupt ...
