Seismic Prediction of Porosity in the Norne Field: Utilizing Support Vector Regression and Empirical Models Driven by Bayesian Linearized Inversion by Jorge A. Teruya Monroe, Jose J. S. de Figueiredo, Carlos E. S. Amanajas

“…Results from the Norne field in the North Sea confirm the approach’s viability, with the Support Vector Regression model achieving a significant Pearson correlation coefficient of 90% in porosity prediction, underscoring the potential of machine learning techniques in improving subsurface exploration results.…”

Revisiting shallow glauconite factories: intertwined fates of glauconite and iron by Tribovillard, Nicolas

“…These situations are well illustrated by the Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits of the Boulonnais coast (Pas de Calais Strait, between the English Channel and the North Sea). In particular, certain sedimentary deposits show that glauconite could have grown during very early diagenesis. …”

The effect of site exposure index on the required capacities of aquaculture structures by Tobias Dewhurst, Samuel Rickerich, Michael MacNicoll, Nathaniel Baker, Zachary Moscicki

“…The research builds upon exposure indices proposed previously, and uses Hydro-/Structural Dynamic Finite Element Analysis (HS-DFEA) to quantify the required structural capacities for cultivation structures as a function of exposure index based on representative sites in the German Bight of the North Sea. The selection of 36 sites in this region was based on extreme hydrodynamic and mean bathymetric conditions, utilizing a k-means clustering approach to identify a collection of sites within a broad range of environmental conditions. …”

Behaviour of Tritium and Tritiogenic Helium in Freshwater Lens Groundwater Systems: Insights from Langeoog Island, Germany by Vincent E. A. Post, Georg J. Houben, Leonard Stoeckl, Jürgen Sültenfuß

“…The models are based on the conditions on the German island of Langeoog, which is uniquely suited for this purpose because of the high 3H concentration of the North Sea. It is found that most bomb-related tritiogenic 3He still resides in the freshwater lens, making it a useful tracer for young (<60 years) groundwater. …”

Drivers of methane-cycling archaeal abundances, community structure, and catabolic pathways in continental margin sediments by Longhui Deng, Longhui Deng, Damian Bölsterli, Clemens Glombitza, Bo Barker Jørgensen, Hans Røy, Mark Alexander Lever, Mark Alexander Lever

“…Focusing on four continental margin sites of the North Sea-Baltic Sea transition, we here investigate the in situ drivers of methane-cycling archaeal community structure and metabolism based on geochemical and stable carbon-isotopic gradients, functional gene (mcrA) copy numbers and phylogenetic compositions, and thermodynamic calculations. …”

HOLSEA-NL: a Holocene water level and sea level indicator dataset for the Netherlands by K. de Wit, K. M. Cohen, R. S. W. van de Wal, R. S. W. van de Wal

“…In the Netherlands, Holocene RSLR results from both regional sea level rise and regional subsidence patterns, mainly caused by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA: Scandinavian forebulge collapse) and longer-term North Sea Basin tectono-sedimentary subsidence. Past coastal and inland water levels are preserved in geological indicators marking the gradual drowning of an area, for example, basal peats. …”

Improving wind and power predictions via four-dimensional data assimilation in the WRF model: case study of storms in February 2022 at Belgian offshore wind farms by T. Ivanova, T. Ivanova, S. Porchetta, S. Porchetta, S. Buckingham, G. Glabeke, G. Glabeke, J. van Beeck, W. Munters

“…We focus on improving model output during storms impacting the Belgian–Dutch wind farm cluster located in the Southern Bight of the North Sea via the four-dimensional data assimilation (nudging) technique in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. …”

Chiral Pesticides in Soil and Water and Exchange with the Atmosphere by Terry F. Bidleman, Andi D. Leone, Renee L. Falconer, Tom Harner, Liisa M.M. Jantunen, Karin Wiberg, Paul A. Helm, Miriam L. Diamond, Binh Loo

“…In some marine regions (the Bering and Chukchi Seas, parts of the North Sea) the preference is reversed and (–)α-HCH is depleted. …”
