Participation of women scientists in ESA solar system missions: a historical trend [PDF]
We analyzed the participation of women scientists in 10 ESA (European Space Agency) Solar System missions over a period of 38 years. Being part of a spacecraft mission science team can be considered a proxy to measure the “success” in the field ...

Pipes to Earth's subsurface: the role of atmospheric conditions in controlling air transport through boreholes and shafts [PDF]
Understanding air exchange dynamics between underground cavities (e.g., caves, mines, boreholes, etc.) and the atmosphere is significant for the exploration of gas transport across the Earth–atmosphere interface.

Ocean phosphorus inventory: large uncertainties in future projections on millennial timescales and their consequences for ocean deoxygenation [PDF]
Previous studies have suggested that enhanced weathering and benthic phosphorus (P) fluxes, triggered by climate warming, can increase the oceanic P inventory on millennial timescales, promoting ocean productivity and deoxygenation.

Oceanographic regional climate projections for the Baltic Sea until 2100 [PDF]
The Baltic Sea, located in northern Europe, is a semi-enclosed, shallow and tideless sea with seasonal sea-ice cover in its northern sub-basins. Its long water residence time contributes to oxygen depletion in the bottom water of its southern sub-basins.

ESD Ideas: A 6-year oscillation in the whole Earth system? [PDF]
An oscillation of about 6 years has been reported in Earth's fluid core motions, magnetic field, rotation, and crustal deformations. Recently, a 6-year cycle has also been detected in several climatic parameters (e.g., sea level, surface temperature ...

Weather and resource information as tools for dealing with farmer–pastoralist conflicts in the Sahel [PDF]
Conflicts between pastoralists and farmers in the Sahel mainly arise from competition over land and water resources or because of livestock damage to crops.

El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictability in equilibrated warmer climates [PDF]
Responses of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) to global warming remain uncertain, which challenges ENSO forecasts in a warming climate. We investigate changes in ENSO characteristics and predictability in idealized simulations with quadrupled CO2 ...

Climatology of Lyapunov exponents: the link between atmospheric rivers and large-scale mixing variability [PDF]
Large-scale tropospheric mixing and Lagrangian transport properties have been analyzed for the long-term period 1979–2014 in terms of the finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLEs).

Reactive transport simulations of uranium migration in the Opalinus Clay depend on ion speciation governed by underlying thermodynamic data [PDF]
Safety assessments must demonstrate that radionuclides in potential disposal sites are retained within the containment providing rock zone. The impact of thermodynamic data on calculated migration lengths resulting from reactive transport simulations is ...
