[1] We argue that diagnostics of excess dissolved calcium carbonate (TA*) above the saturation horizon cannot be unambiguously interpreted in terms of local in situ dissolution. We examine a three-dimensional numerical model of global ocean circulation and biogeochemistry with explicit representation of the formation and dissolution of calcium carbonate. In particular, dissolution is only allow...

Fluorescent spectroscopy is a convenient method for monitoring the progression of polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA).

Visible-light photocatalysis provides numerous useful methodologies for synthetic organic chemistry. However, the mechanisms of these reactions are often not fully understood. Common mechanistic experiments mainly aim to characterize excited state properties photocatalysts and their interaction with other species. Recently, in situ reaction monitoring using dedicated techniques was shown be wel...

A yet unexplained drift of (some) oxygen optodes during storage/transport and thus significant deviations from factory/laboratory calibrations have been a major handicap for autonomous oxygen observations. Optode drift appears to be systematic and is predominantly a slope effect due to reduced oxygen sensitivity. A small contribution comes from a reduced luminophore lifetime, which causes a sma...

Anthropogenic stress and disturbance of forest ecosystems (FES) has been increasing at all scales from local to global. In rapidly changing environments, in-situ terrestrial FES monitoring approaches have made tremendous progress but they are intensive and often integrate subjective indicators for forest health (FH). Remote sensing (RS) bridges the gaps of these limitations, by monitoring indic...
