Remotely detecting submarine volcanic activity at Monowai: insights from International Monitoring System hydroacoustic data by Metz, D

“…We show, using cross-correlation and time-difference-of-arrival techniques, that low-frequency underwater sound waves from the volcano travel in the Sound Fixing and Ranging (SOFAR) channel and can be detected by bottom-moored hydrophone arrays of the International Monitoring System (IMS), a global sensor network maintained by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization. Hydroacoustic phases associated with the May 2011 eruption at Monowai are identified in the record of the IMS station at Ascension Island, Equatorial Atlantic Ocean. …”

A theoretical study of the presence of nuclear weapons proliferation and its impact in the Middle East by Kazim Al-Sudany

ASSESSMENT OF CHEMICAL ELEMENT CONTENT IN THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT COMPONENTS OF THE «VOSTOCHNY» TRACE OF THE RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT AT THE SEMIPALATINSK TEST SITE by Arai Y. Temirzhanova, Egor G. Yazikov, Nurlan Zh. Mukhamediyarov, Sayan E. Salmenbaev, Murat A. Umarov, Gani M. Yesilkanov, Azhar Zh. Tashekova

“…A concurrent survey of air aerosol particulate matter and soil composition at the «Opytnoe pole» site, at which atmospheric/aboveground-air nuclear tests were conducted, will provide a complete picture on potential sources of a radionuclide and chemical composition of environmental components formed in the «Vostochny» trace as well as of migration pathways of some elements and radionuclides incorporated in air aerosols. …”

Improvement and Validation of the System Analysis Model and Code for Heat-Pipe-Cooled Microreactor by Li Ge, Huaqi Li, Xiaoyan Tian, Zeyu Ouyang, Xiaoya Kang, Da Li, Jianqiang Shan, Xinbiao Jiang

“…Based on the improved models, the HPMR system analysis program TAPIRSD was developed, which was verified by experimental data of the separated conversion components and the ground nuclear test device KRUSTY. The maximum deviation of the power output predicted by the energy conversion model is less than 8%. …”

Trace elements in South America aerosol during 20th century inferred from a Nevado Illimani ice core, Eastern Bolivian Andes (6350 m asl) by A. Correia, A. Correia, R. Freydier, R. J. Delmas, J. C. Simões, J.-D. Taupin, B. Dupré, P. Artaxo

“…The upper 50 m of the ice core were dated by multi-proxy analysis of stable isotopes (<font face='Symbol'>d</font>¹⁸O and <font face='Symbol'>d</font>²H), ¹³⁷Cs and Ca⁺² content, electrical conductivity, and insoluble microparticle content, together with reference historical horizons from atmospheric nuclear tests and known volcanic eruptions. This 50 m section corresponds to a record of environmental variations spanning about 80 years from 1919 to 1999. …”
