A monitoring system for spatiotemporal electrical self-potential measurements in cryospheric environments

Weigand, Maximilian ; Wagner, Florian M. ; Limbrock, Jonas K. ; Hilbich, Christin ; Hauck, Christian ; Kemna, Andreas

In: Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2020, vol. 9, no. 2020-2, p. 317–336

Climate-induced warming increasingly leads to degradation of high-alpine permafrost. In order to develop early warning systems for imminent slope destabilization, knowledge about hydrological flow processes in the subsurface is urgently needed. Due to the fast dynamics associated with slope failures, non- or minimally invasive methods are required for inexpensive and timely characterization...

Constraining the formation of authigenic carbonates in a seepage-affected cold-water coral mound by lipid biomarkers

Feenstra, Eline Juliette ; Birgel, Daniel ; Heindel, Katrin ; Wehrmann, Laura M. ; Jaramillo‐Vogel, David ; Grobéty, Bernard ; Frank, Norbert ; Hancock, Leanne G. ; Van Rooij, David ; Peckmann, Jörn ; Foubert, Anneleen

Cold‐water coral (CWC) mounds are build‐ups comprised of coral‐dominated intervals alternating with a mixed carbonate‐siliciclastic matrix. At some locations, CWC mounds are influenced by methane seepage, but the impact of methane on CWC mounds is poorly understood. To constrain the potential impact of methane on CWC mound growth, lipid biomarker investigations were combined with...

Physically based hydrogeological and slope stability modeling of the Turaida castle mound

Kukemilks, Karlis ; Wagner, Jean-Frank ; Saks, Tomas ; Brunner, Philip

In: Landslides, 2018, vol. 15, no. 11, p. 2267–2278

This study explores the potential of integrating state-of-the-art physically based hydrogeological modeling into slope stability simulations to identify the hydrogeological triggers of landslides. Hydrogeological models considering detailed morphological, lithological, and climatic factors were elaborated. Groundwater modeling reveals locations with elevated pore water pressures in the...
