The Complex Vertical Motion of Intraplate Oceanic Islands Assessed in Santiago Island, Cape Verde by F. O. Marques, A. Hildenbrand, H. Zeyen, C. Cunha, S. S. Victória

“…We thus obtain a vertical motion history consisting of time‐averaged vertical motion rates spanning the five intervening periods between paleoshoreline formation and the present day: (1) 5.06 to 3.29 Ma—seamount growth or island subsidence because all the rocks in this period are submarine; (2) fast uplift (approximately 0.96 mm/a) from 3.29 to 2.87 Ma, mostly responsible for putting submarine lavas currently close to 410 m altitude; (3) relatively fast subsidence (approximately −0.11 mm/a) between 2.87 and 2.18 Ma; (4) stagnation from 2.18 to 0.811 Ma; and (5) relatively fast uplift (approximately 0.14 mm/a) between 0.811 and 0 Ma. …”

Hydrogeochemical investigation of ground and surface water in the Neogene - Quaternary sediments by Vidović Milka, Gordanić Vojin, Trajković Ivana, Jovanić Sanja

“…During the prospecting, water samples were collected from surface water streams, springs, wells, drills, water reservoirs, as well as the samples of stream sediments and rocks. Hydrogeochemical investigations are of significance, where, in the water of Vrsac hills, elevated levels of radionuclides U, Ra and Rn, and other toxic elements were detected with values above maximum allowed concentrations for drinking water. …”

Quantitative Characterization of Coastal Cliff Retreat and Landslide Processes at Portonovo–Trave Cliffs (Conero, Ancona, Italy) Using Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data by Nicola Fullin, Enrico Duo, Stefano Fabbri, Mirko Francioni, Monica Ghirotti, Paolo Ciavola

“…In this work, we present a case study of the Conero Regional Park (Northern Adriatic Sea, Ancona, Italy) cliff-top retreat, characterized by Neogenic soft rocks (flysch, molasse). In particular, the study is focused in the area between the beach of Portonovo and Trave (south of Ancona), which has been studied using aerial orthophoto acquired between 1978 and 2021, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photographs (and extracted photogrammetric model) surveyed in September 2021 and 2012 LiDAR data. …”

Ridge Subduction: Unraveling the Consequences Linked to a Slab Window Development Beneath South America at the Chile Triple Junction by Jorge Sanhueza, Gonzalo Yáñez, W. Roger Buck, Jaime Araya Vargas, Eugenio Veloso

“…The temporal evolution of the modeled temperature is consistent with observed heat flow data, and with magmatism and high‐temperature metamorphism recorded in Chilean forearc rocks. Such migrated partial melts might explain the low viscosity inferred and low seismic velocity anomalies imaged in the slab window beneath South America, and the common geochemical signature of the Chile Ridge, the Taitao Ophiolite and the backarc magmatism. …”

Vendian – Early Cambrian granites of the Krutorechensky complex (Northern Urals, Russia): protolith age, geodynamic conditions of generation and transformation by A. V. Korovko, G. Yu. Shardakova, V. N. Puchkov, V. B. Khubanov

“…We obtained new data on compositions and ages of the Krutorechensky granites (KG) composing an intensely tectonized and boudinaged elongated body discovered in meta‐ terrigenous and meta‐volcanogenic rocks in the western part of the MUF zone. In chemical composition, these gra‐ nites are similar to the Vendian‐Cambrian collisional granitoids of the Isherim and Lyapin blocks. …”

Assessing the potential of composite confining systems for secure and long-term CO2 retention in geosequestration by Sahar Bakhshian, Alexander P. Bump, Shaunak Pandey, Hailun Ni, Susan D. Hovorka

“…However, considering that the amount of CO2 is limited by a decadal injection period, vertical migration of CO2 can be effectively halted by a composite system of discontinuous shale/silt/mudstone barriers in bedded sedimentary rocks. Here, we studied the impact of depositional architectures in a composite confining system on CO2 migration and confinement at reservoir scale. …”

Alternating acid and alkaline diagenesis in the Shahejie Formation of E12 structure in the Laizhou Bay Sag, Bohai Bay Basin by Haifeng Yang, Shangfeng Zhang, Ao Su, Dayong Guan, Yaning Wang, Wen Su

“…Moreover, they were not altered by organic acid due to the far lateral distance from source rocks. By contrast, the Es3 reservoirs in the well A-2 with hydrocarbon accumulations, contain an anomalously high porosity zone due to the superimposition of five episodes of alternate acid-alkaline fluids. …”

Spatial Variation and Frequency Dependence of Lg Wave Attenuation With Site Response Correction Along the CCSE Array in Central California, US by Jeena Yun, YoungHee Kim, Robert W. Clayton

“…Positive site responses obtained by reverse two‐station method are found at 34 stations out of total 46 stations examined, and their responses are mostly correlated with surficial lithology (i.e., sedimentary rocks) along the profile, rather than the thickness of the sediments. …”

Comparison of hydrocarbon and geothermal energy production in the Netherlands: reservoir characteristics, pressure and temperature changes, and implications for fault reactivation by Loes Buijze, Hans Veldkamp, Brecht Wassing

“…The review shows that geological characteristics for most geothermal target reservoirs are similar to those of hydrocarbon, albeit geothermal projects so far target higher porosity rocks than hydrocarbon reservoirs. On the other hand, pressure and temperature changes are very different, with significant depletion for hydrocarbon fields vs significant cooling around geothermal injection wells. …”

Richness of lichen species, especially of threatened ones, is promoted by management methods furthering stand continuity. by Steffen Boch, Daniel Prati, Dominik Hessenmöller, Ernst-Detlef Schulze, Markus Fischer

“…We analyzed how lichen species richness responds to management and habitat variables (standing biomass, cover of deadwood, cover of rocks). We found strong regional differences with highest lichen species richness in the Schwäbische Alb, probably driven by regional differences in former air pollution, and in precipitation and habitat variables. …”
