This work presents a new, field-deployable technique for continuous, high-resolution measurements of methane mixing ratios from ice cores. The technique is based on a continuous flow analysis system, where ice core samples cut along the long axis of an ice core are melted continuously. The past atmospheric air contained in the ice is separated from...

We compare a variety of methods for estimating the gas/ice depth offset (Delta depth) at EPICA Dome C (EDC, East Antarctica). (1) Purely based on modelling efforts, Delta depth can be estimated combining a firn densification with an ice flow model. (2) The diffusive column height can be estimated from δ15N and converted to Delta depth using an ice ...
Two new β-dihydroagarofuran-type sesquiterpenes (1-2) were isolated and identified from the fruit of Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb, together with seventeen known compounds (3-19). The structures of the isolated new compounds were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic analyses. The cytotoxic activities of the 19 sesquiterpenes on three cell line...

A new in situ experiment is proposed for observing and understanding well integrity evolution, potentially due to changes that could occur during a well lifetime. The focus is put on temperature and pressure stresses. A small section of a well is reproduced at scale 1:1 in the Opalinus Clay formation, representative of a low permeable caprock forma...
AbstractThe “facies” is a frequently used term for describing sedimentary units. In the literature, this term has been used for different purposes, as depositional environment, rock type, lithofacies, etc. In subsurface geology, the core samples are essential for facies studies. While lacking cored intervals, the well logs provide precious subsurfa...
