Abstract Many Archean cratons exhibit Paleoproterozoic rifted margins, implying they were pieces of some ancestral landmass(es). The idea that such an ancient continental assembly represents supercontinent has been proposed but remains to be justified. Starkly contrasting geological records between different clans have inspired alternative hypothesis where clustered in multiple, separate “super...

We report the direct comparison between the stabilities of two mobile absolute gravimeters of different technology: the LNE-SYRTE Cold Atom Gravimeter (CAG) and FG5X#216 of the Université du Luxembourg. These instruments rely on two different principles of operation: atomic and optical interferometry. The comparison took place in the Walferdange Underground Laboratory for Geodynamics in Luxembo...

Before, during and after many large earthquakes significant change in concentration of radon has been observed in China, Japan and India. To establish this behaviour as a potential earthquake precursor, it is important to understand the phenomenon in terms of geodynamics. Here I propose a geodynamic model to establish a correlation between precursory radon concentration fluctuations and an impe...

The comparison of the integrated precipitable water vapor (IPWV) retrieved by GPS, microwave radiometer, solar spectrometer and radiosondes, operated within the French field campaign ESCOMPTE, shows an overall good agreement. The time dependent relative fluctuation as well as the absolute amount of water vapor match with high accuracy. The software package AWATOS (Atmospheric WAter vapor TOmogr...

At 16:16 local time (14:16 GMT) January 8, 2013 a moderate size earthquake ML5.8 (Mw5.7) occurred 40 km SE off the coasts of Limnos island, Northern Aegean, Greece. The epicenter coordinates were calculated to 39.636N 25.576E and the focal depth to 32.3 km (MT centroid depth 8 km) according to the Institute of Geodynamics, National Observatory of Athens (NOAIG). The earthquake was felt at a wid...
