VPDrought – a novel approach to disentangle atmospheric and soil drought in a natural Scots pine forest

Charlotte Grossiord, Giovanni Bortolami

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have reported on forest declines and shifts in species composition in response to changing climatic conditions (Rigling et al. 2012). The intensification of droughts through rising evaporative demand (i.e., ...

Monitoring of water volume in a porous reservoir using seismic data: A 3D simulation study

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

A potential framework to estimate the volume of water stored in a porous storage reservoir from seismic data is neural networks. In this study, the man-made groundwater reservoir is modeled as a coupled poroviscoelastic–viscoelastic medium, and the underly ...
