  • Blue-Sky Eruptions, Do They Exist? Implications for Monitoring New
    Blue‐sky eruptions, do they exist? Implications for monitoring New Zealand’s volcanoes. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Disaster and Hazard Management at the University of Canterbury by Angela Louise Doherty University of Canterbury 2009 Frontispiece “What are the odds, right?” “Before it happened it would have said slim, but since it did happen I would say 100%...” Dr Ray Langston replying to Catherine Willows (played by Lawrence Fishburne and Marg Helgenberger – CSI: Crime Scene Investigation). Lahar following the September 2007 eruption of Ruapehu (photo: GNS Science). Abstract The term “blue‐sky eruption” (BSE) can be used to describe eruptions which are unexpected or have no detected precursory activity. Case study analyses indicate that they have a diverse range of characteristics and magnitudes, providing both direct and indirect hazards and occur in both under‐developed and developed countries. BSEs can be a result of physical triggers (e.g. the lack of physically detectable precursors or a lack of understanding of the eruption model of the volcano), social triggers (such as an inadequate monitoring network), or a combination of the two. As the science of eruption forecasting is still relatively young, and the variations between individual volcanoes and individual eruptions are so great, there is no effective general model and none should be applied in the absence of a site‐specific model. Similarly, as methods vary between monitoring agencies, there are no monitoring benchmarks for effective BSE forecasting. However a combination of seismic and gas emission monitoring may be the most effective.

  • New Fossil Ants of the Subfamily Myrmicinae (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from the Upper Oligocene of Enspel (Westerwald Mountains, Rhineland Palatinate, Germany)
    Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments https://doi.org/10.1007/s12549-019-00406-2 ORIGINAL PAPER New fossil ants of the subfamily Myrmicinae (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from the Upper Oligocene of Enspel (Westerwald Mountains, Rhineland Palatinate, Germany) Karla Jessen1 Received: 17 May 2019 /Revised: 26 August 2019 /Accepted: 22 October 2019 # Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract New species of the subfamily Myrmicinae are described from the fossil volcanogenic Lake Enspel, Westerwald, Germany. This Fossil-Lagerstätte comprises lake sediments, which essentially consist of intercalated “oilshales” and volcaniclastics. The sediments were dated to be of late Oligocene age. Out of the 287 fossil ants from Enspel examined, 96.5% (n = 277) belong to the formicoid clade (Formicinae, Dolichoderinae, Myrmicinae), and only 3.5% (n = 10) to the poneroid clade (Ponerinae, Agroecomyrmecinae). The high proportion of Myrmicinae (36.6%) indicates that this subfamily was already strongly represented in Central Europe in the late Oligocene. However, it should be noted that the large number of specimens are alate reproductives. The number of workers is low: n = 19, or 6.1% of 312 specimens when 25 isolated wings are included. Ten new species, belonging to the genera Paraphaenogaster, Aphaenogaster, Goniomma and Myrmica are named. Taxonomic questions regarding the separation of the two genera Aphaenogaster and Paraphaenogaster as well as aspects of biogeography, palaeoenvironment and palaeobiology in Enspel are discussed. Keywords Upper Oligocene . Formicidae . Myrmicinae . Taxonomy . Biodiversity . Palaeoecology . Palaeoenvironment .

  • Interim Review
    Interim Environmental Review Environmental Goods Agreement Office of the U.S. Trade Representative October 2016 Executive Summary Overview As a global leader in the innovation, production and export of environmental technologies, the United States has a strategic interest in expanding market access abroad for U.S. green technology manufacturers, while improving access at home to the technologies we need to protect our environment. The Obama Administration has taken unprecedented action over the past eight years to build the foundation for a clean energy economy and healthy environment, including by working toward global free trade in environmental goods and cleaner technologies. On July 8, 2014, the United States and 13 other WTO Members1 launched the Environmental Goods Agreement (EGA) negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland with an aim of eliminating import tariffs on a wide range of technologies designed to address an array of environmental challenges – from air pollution control to clean energy generation; wastewater treatment to sustainable management of waste. The urgency of these challenges cannot be overstated. Approximately 6.5 million people die prematurely each year as a result of indoor and outdoor air pollution exposure.2 Ten percent of the world’s population currently lacks access to safe water.3 And by one estimate, the world is on track to generate 11 million tons of waste each day by 2100.4 Yet import tariffs on environmental technologies – such as wind turbines, water filtration systems and emissions control equipment – can run as high as 35%, posing a significant obstacle to their deployment.5 The United States has been a longstanding advocate for liberalization of trade in environmental goods.

The nature and chronostratigraphy of Quaternary pyroclastic accumulations from Lake Barombi Mbo (West-Cameroon). J. Volcanol. Geotkerm. Res., 5 I: 357-374. The K/Ar dating of a limburgitic flow indicates that the Barombi Mbo maar was active a million years ago. The mor- phology of the maar and the unusual high K,O/Na,O ratio of the limburgite suggest either that this age is too old or that this flow is not the last activity of the maar. Twenty three meters of sediments were cored from the bottom (core BM6) of the 1 IO-m-deep lake which currentlyfills the maar. They are composed ofclayey and sideritic laminae with interstratified ash layers in the lower half of the core. These ashes, composed of slightly vesiculated sideromelane with olivine and labra- dorite phenocrysts, have been dated between 2 1,000 and I1,OOO yr.

Within the project SALSA (South Argentinean Lake Sediment Archives and modelling) Laguna Potrok Aike turned out to be the key site for paleoenvironmental reconstruction in that area. With a continuous, high-resolution multi-proxy approach applied to the well radiocarbon and tephra dated sediments it was possible to distinguish between lake level high and low stands. Those do not only give information about the hydrological state of climatic periods like the Little Ice Age or the Medieval Climate Anomaly but also reflect hydrological variations for southern Patagonia during the past 16,000 cal.

Thenkabail Received: 29 September 2016; Accepted: 26 January 2017; Published: 7 February 2017 Abstract: Mt. Baekdu is a volcano near the North Korea-Chinese border that experienced a few destructive eruptions over the course of its history, including the well-known 1702 A.D eruption. However, signals of unrest, including seismic activity, gas emission and intense geothermal activity, have been occurring with increasing frequency over the last few years. Due to its close vicinity to a densely populated area and the high magnitude of historical volcanic eruptions, its potential for destructive volcanic activity has drawn wide public attention. However, direct field surveying in the area is limited due to logistic challenges.

Sedimentation and palaeoenvironment in crater lake Barombi Mbo, Cameroon, during the last 25,000 years. Sediment. Geol., 71: 151-175. Lake Barombi Mbo is situated in a maar crater of the Cameroon volcanic chain. Sediment cores were recovered with a Livingstone corer. This paper presents data on core BM6,23.5 m long, from a water depth of 110 m. The sediments are mainly organic matter-rich clays (5 to 10% total organic carbon) showing alternating brown and yellowish horizontal laminae on a cm-scale. The lower part of a couplet (basal sublamina) is rich in siliciclastic (quartz, mica) grains, sponge spicules and documents the deposition of flood detritus. The upper unit (upper sublamina) is composed of grey to bluish clay which becomes green toward the top with frequently yellow, layered concretions of siderite. It corresponds to quiet conditions with settling of fine clayey particles from suspension. The overall recurrence rate of these laminae is about 15 years. This frequency is similar to present-day large flood events in this intertropical zone.
