Organic matters, but inorganic matters too: column examination of elevated mercury sorption on low organic matter aquifer material using concentrations and stable isotope ratios

Lorenz Schwab

Sorption of mercury (Hg) in soils is suggested to be predominantly associated with organic matter (OM). However, there is a growing collection of research that suggests that clay minerals and oxides are also important solid phases for the sorption of solu ...

Excitation of toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes with counter-current NBI in the TCV tokamak

Laurie Porte, Alexander Karpushov, Matteo Vallar, Samuele Mazzi

In TCV, unstable modes excited by resonant interaction between the shear Alfvèn waves in con- tinuum gaps and energetic particles have been observed in scenarios with Neutral Beam Injection (NBI). TCV is a middle-size device (R 0 /a = 0.88/0.25) equipped w ...

Isotope Ratio - Discharge Relationships of Solutes Derived From Weathering Reactions

Paolo Benettin

To date, the vast majority of studies seeking to link discharge to solute concentrations have been based on representations of fluid age distributions in watersheds that are time-invariant. As increasingly detailed spatial and temporal datasets become avai ...

Towards implementing new isotopes for environmental research:Redetermination of the 32Si half-life

Mario Aaron Veicht

The predicted climate changes on Earth will significantly impact the environment and human society. The climate patterns observed during the past centuries led to a better understanding of the driving forces for such changes. However, more studies using ne ...

Dynamical Control of Nuclear Isomer Depletion via Electron Vortex Beams

Fabrizio Carbone, Simone Gargiulo

Some nuclear isomers are known to store a large amount of energy over long periods of time, with a very high energy-to-mass ratio. Here, we describe a protocol to achieve the external control of the isomeric nuclear decay by using electron vortex beams who ...

Precipitation fate and transport in a Mediterranean catchment through models calibrated on plant and stream water isotope data

Paolo Benettin

To predict hydrologic responses to inputs and perturbations, it is important to understand how precipitation is stored in catchments, released back to the atmosphere via evapotranspiration (ET), or transported to aquifers and streams. We investigated this ...

Acid-base-induced fac → mer isomerization of luminescent iridium(iii) complexes

Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Albert Ruggi, Anastasia Gitlina

Luminescent Ir(C^N)3 complexes (C^N = cyclometalated arylpyridine ligand) exist in the form of two stable isomers with distinct photophysical and electrochemical properties: fac and mer. Herein, we show that fac-Ir(C^N)3 complexes can be converted into the ...

ISORROPIA-Lite: A Comprehensive Atmospheric Aerosol Thermodynamics Module for Earth System Models

Athanasios Nenes

Aerosol simulations especially for Earth System Models require a thermodynamics module with a good compromise between rigor and computational efficiency. We present and evaluate ISORROPIA-lite, an accelerated and simplified version of the widely used ISORR ...

Phloem water isotopically different to xylem water: Potential causes and implications for ecohydrological tracing

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin

The stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in xylem water are often used to investigate tree water sources. But this traditional approach does not acknowledge the contribution of water stored in the phloem to transpiration and how this may affect xylem wat ...

Tree water deficit and dynamic source water partitioning

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Mitra Asadollahi

The stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen (delta H-2 and delta O-18, respectively) have been widely used to investigate tree water source partitioning. These tracers have shed new light on patterns of tree water use in time and space. However, there are s ...

Plant and root‐zone water isotopes are difficult to measure, explain, and predict: some practical recommendations for determining plant water sources

Charlotte Grossiord, Jana Freiin von Freyberg

Stable isotope ratios of water (𝛿 18O,𝛿 2H) have long been used to study a core question in plant ecology and ecohydrology: “From where do plants take up water?” Indeed, decades of research has involved sampling potential plant water sources in the subsurf ...
