Open AccessTesting the applicability of ground motion prediction equations for the Hainaut region (Belgium) using intensity data
In regions where strong earthquakes occurred before the deployment of dense seismic and accelerometric networks, intensity datasets can help select appropriate ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for se...

Open AccessMixed convective flow analysis of a Maxwell fluid with double diffusion theory on a vertically exponentially stretching surface
It observers that an object is submerged in a liquid, more pressure is applied to its bottom surface than its top surface, as a result pressure rises within depth of fluids. A buoyancy force is generated due t...

Open AccessPredicting Mechanical Properties of Carbonate Rocks Using Spectroscopy Across 0.4–12 μm
Determining the mechanical characteristics of rocks is crucial in various civil engineering sectors. Traditionally, the mechanical properties of rocks are determined through on-site and laboratory tests carrie...

Open AccessMagnetite geochemistry as a proxy for metallogenic processes: A study on sulfide-mineralized mafic–ultramafic intrusions peripheral to the Kunene Complex in Angola and Namibia
Trace element concentrations in magnetite are dictated by the petrogenetic environment and by the physico-chemical conditions during magmatic, hydrothermal, or sedimentary processes. This makes magnetite chemi...

Open AccessNutritional value and functional properties of an underexploited Tunisian wild beet (Beta macrocarpa Guss.) in relation to soil characteristics
The study centers on the valorization of Beta macrocarpa Guss., an endangered Mediterranean wild plant that grows in Tunisia. This plant is disappearing due to a reduction in marginal areas and a lack of awarenes...

Open AccessPresent and paleo-hydrogeological reconstruction of a complex deep groundwater system in a tectonically active region (Golan Heights, Middle East)
The geochemical and isotopic composition of deep groundwater in sedimentary aquitards reveals a complex paleo-hydrological system affected by intensive tectonic activity. Water samples collected from deep rese...

Open AccessMelt infiltration in a crystal mush and pegmatoid formation in the platiniferous Merensky Reef, Bushveld Complex, South Africa
Giant mafic-ultramafic layered intrusions of Archaean-Proterozoic age are the fossilised remnants of huge injections of silicate magma in the Earth’s crust and are our most important repositories of platinum-g...

Open AccessAssessing observational constraints on future European climate in an out-of-sample framework
Observations are increasingly used to constrain multi-model projections for future climate assessments. This study assesses the performance of five constraining methods, which have previously been applied to a...

Open AccessSimoniteuthis, a new vampyromorph coleoid with prey in its arms from the Early Jurassic of Luxembourg
The evolutionary history of the cephalopod order Vampyromorpha with its only recent representative, Vampyroteuthis infernalis, the deep-sea vampire squid, is still obscure and a new specimen from the Early Jurass...

Open AccessSource parameters and scaling relationships of stress drop for shallow crustal seismic events in Western Europe
For an ω2-source model, moment-based estimates of the stress drop are obtained by combining corner frequency and seismic moment source parameters. Therefore, the moment-based estimates of the stress drop are info...

Open AccessEvaluating skill in predicting the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation in initialized decadal climate prediction hindcasts in E3SMv1 and CESM1 using two different initialization methods and a small set of start years
It is a daunting challenge to conduct initialized hindcasts with enough ensemble members and associated start years to form a drifted climatology from which to compute the anomalies necessary to quantify the s...

Open AccessDevelopment of quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) relations for dual-polarization radars based on raindrop size distribution measurements in Metro Manila, Philippines
Quantitative precipitation estimates (QPE) can be further improved using estimation algorithms derived from localized raindrop size distribution (DSD) observations. In this study, DSD measurements from two dis...

Open AccessFlood Modeling and Prediction Using Earth Observation Data
The ability to map floods from satellites has been known for over 40 years. Early images of floods were rather difficult to obtain, and flood map** from satellites was thus rather opportunistic and limited t...
