The effects of climate change make atmospheric CO2 reductions a necessity. This effort is mostly represented by Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere and its transport to safe and permanent storage. Injecting, trapping and storing CO2 within the subsurface requires a deep understanding of the geological and geophysical processes that are involved. At the pore...
Over the past decades, numerous observations and model studies have provided substantial evidence that energetic particle precipitation (EPP) affects the chemistry and dynamics of the stratosphere. Concurrently, the significance of stratospheric dynamics, particularly in winter short-range and seasonal forecasts, has been highlighted. However, there has been little effort to integrate the...
By means of laser optical pumping and Larmor-resonance detection, it is possible to use the naturally occurring sodium layer in the mesosphere to measure Earth’s magnetic field magnitude at 90 km above ground. This is an altitude otherwise only accessible by rockets, which only will provide point measurements of very short time scales.
In December 2019, for the first time, we were able to...
Radionuclides are important both for diagnostic and treatment of cancer. 86Y is a candidate for positron emission tomography (PET) and, when employed together with 90Y, is amenable for thernostics. Theranostics can be done using either a self-theranostic nuclide, where the same radionuclide is used in both diagnosis and treatment, or by using two different radionuclides (a theranostic pair),...
