A new ground-based technique called "Distance of flight of cosmic-ray muons" for sensing the height of the layer of the Earth where cosmic-ray muons are generated called muopause which is closely related with the height of tropopause and lower stratosphere.

A reference corner cube inertial suspension device(RCCISD) was developed, which is used to measure the vibration acceleration of the reference corner cube of the laser interferometer absolute gravimeter. The test results show that the PSD of gravitational acceleration is about 40 dB lower than that of the reference prism directly placed on the ground. The volume of the RCCISD is about 1 / 3 of the Super-Spring volume, which can greatly reduce the height of the gravimeter.

Our research introduces a technology for exploring subglacial lakes while keeping them isolated from surface contamination. The RECoverable Autonomous Sonde (RECAS) can drill ice both downward and upward, allowing clean water sampling. In some cases, the sonde should drill at specific angles to follow a trajectory, maintain verticality, or bypass obstacles. This paper describes the general principles of steering RECAS by adjusting the drill's heat distribution and the results of the experiments.

Transportation networks, such as road or river systems and electricity grids, are often equipped with various sensors that produce vast amounts of data that reflect real-life situations on these networks. We present an all-in-one data management solution to deal with these data. Our solution addresses both the storage and querying of such data and is based on a theoretical database model and query logic. In addition, this is implemented and tested on real-life datasets.

Our study investigated the influence of plant processes on oxygen dynamics, crucial for paleoclimatology. By examining maize respiration and photosynthesis using advanced techniques, we enhanced our understanding of past climates through ice core analysis.

Overview of a data system for documenting, processing, managing and publishing data streams from research networks of atmospheric/environmental sensors of varying complexity in urban environments. Our solutions aim to deliver resilient, near-time data using freely-available software.

Under German law, the crack damage stress must not be reached at any time during the operation or post-closure phase of a nuclear waste repository. This legal requirement can only be fulfilled if the parameter can be measured precisely. We have thus developed a new measurement technique, which overcomes the limitations of the conventional method. In combination, old and new method offer an easy procedure to detect the crack damage stress in fully saturated rocks in a fast and robust manner.
