After five decades, the Apollo data set remains the only available one and continues to offer significant value for current and future lunar seismic data analyses. Recent advances in artificial intelligence for seismology have identified seismic signals that were previously unrecognized. In our study, we utilized deep learning for unsupervised clustering of lunar seismograms, leading to the discovery of a new type of long-period lunar seismic signal that existed every lunar night from 1969 to 1976. We then conducted a thorough analysis covering the timing, frequency, polarization, and temporal distribution characteristics of this signal to study its properties, occurrence, and probable origins. This signal has a physical cause instead of artificial, such as voltage changes, according to its amplitudes during peaked and flat modes, as well as the digital converter status. Based on its relation to the lunar temperature and documents on Apollo instruments, we conclude that this signal is likely induced by the cyclic heater, with several unresolved questions that might challenge our hypothesis. Excluding interference from this newly identified signal is crucial when analyzing lunar seismic data, particularly in detecting lunar free oscillations. Our research introduced a new method for discovering new types of planetary seismic signals and helped advance our understanding of Apollo seismic data. Furthermore, the discovery of this signal holds valuable implications for the design of future planetary seismometers to avoid encountering similar issues.</p>","PeriodicalId":54286,"journal":{"name":"Earth and Space Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024EA003676","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141838578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present laboratory observations of frictional strength and stability of feldspar (K-feldspar and albite) and feldspar-chlorite gouges under conditions representative of deep geothermal reservoirs to evaluate the impact on fault stability. Velocity-stepping experiments are performed at a confining stress of 95 MPa, pore pressures of 35–90 MPa, and temperatures of 120–400°C representative of in situ conditions for such reservoirs. Our experiment results indicate that the feldspar gouge exhibits strong friction (<i>μ</i> ∼ 0.71) at all experimental temperatures (∼120–400°C) but when <i>T</i> > 120°C, the frictional response transitions from velocity-strengthening to slightly velocity-weakening. At constant confining pressure and temperature, increasing the pore pressure increases the friction coefficient (∼0.70–0.85) and the gouge remains slightly velocity weakening. The presence of alteration-sourced chlorite leads to a transition from velocity weakening to velocity strengthening in the mixed gouge at experimental temperatures and pore pressures. As a ubiquitous mineral in reservoir rocks, feldspar is shown to potentially contribute to unstable sliding over ranges in temperature and pressure typical in deep hydrothermal reservoirs.

Yet, an efficient method for identifying the onset of bedload transport from long-term continuous acoustic data is still lacking. Benford's Law defines a probability distribution of the first-digit of data sets and has been used to identify anomalies. Here, we apply Benford's law to continuous acoustic recordings from Baiyang hydrometric station, a tributary of Liwu River, Taroko National Park, Taiwan at the frequency of 32 kHz from stationary hydrophones deployed for 3 years since 2019. We construct a workflow to parse sound combinations of bedload transportation and analyze them in the context of hydrometric sensing constraining the onset, and recession of bedload transport. We identified three separate sound classes in the data related to the noise produced by the motion of pebbles, water flow, and air. We identify two bedload transport events that lasted 17 and 45 hr, respectively, covering about 0.35% of the total recorded time.

Five sets of OSSEs are carried out to compare the effects of assimilating various combinations of prospective GDC observations (e.g., neutral temperature, neutral wind, neutral composition, atomic oxygen ion density, and ion and electron temperature) during a major geomagnetic storm period of the St Patrick's Day Storm on 17 March 2013. The maximum error reduction in neutral temperature and atomic ion oxygen density is 24.6% and 43.3% compared to the control experiment. These OSSEs indicate the benefits of coupled IT DA approaches implemented in DART/TIEGCM to maximize the impact of multi-parameter IT observations, such as those expected from the GDC mission.

The aim is to understand the geochemical processes occurring between drainage water and canal bed sediments and assess factors affecting and driving PTE distribution and enrichment in these environments. A geochemical database resulting from the analysis of 203 drainage sediment samples was analyzed using Principal Component Analysis and compared to undisturbed near-surface sediment samples from the same depth and depositional environment. The results reveal PTEs exceeding national regulation limits. Distance from the sea, electrical conductivity of drainage water, and fertilizer use were identified as the main driving factors. The primary mechanisms for PTE precipitation (As, Co, Mo) and subsequent enrichment in the sediments is attributed to the absorption on Fe- and Mn-oxyhydroxides (HFO and HMO), particularly in high salinity areas near the coast. While Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr, and V also have affinity for HFO and HMO, their adsorption efficiency decreases due to the competition with salt-derived cations during ongoing salinization processes. Anthropogenic sources, including agriculture, hunting activities, traffic dust, and railways, contribute to the local abundance of other elements (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Sn). This paper's significant progress lies in assessing the concurrent interactions of chemical and physical processes that drive PTE distribution and accumulation in reclaimed low-lying coastal plains. The findings are significant for assessing PTE accumulation risks and sediment toxicity in coastal areas affected by water salinization, drainage, and subsidence, providing valuable information to water management institutions globally.</p>","PeriodicalId":54286,"journal":{"name":"Earth and Space Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023EA003145","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141732547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
