Dataset supporting publication: "The Problem of Geothermal Power Installation on Buildings: Structural Building Monitoring and Assessment During Drilling Activities"

Dataset supporting publication: “The Problem of Geothermal Power Installation on Buildings: Structural Building Monitoring and Assessment During Drilling Activities” (publication available in <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7266386#.Y1_e1XbMJPY">GEOFIT Zenodo</a>) Datasets resultant from structural health monitoring activities (accelerometer data). The current European Union (EU) policy aims to increase the use of “green” energies, and within this strategy the exploitation of the geothermal energy is a well promising approach. The European Horizon2020 project GEOFIT (Deployment of novel GEOthermal systems, technologies and tools for energy efficient building retroFITting) aims among the others to deploy and to integrate advanced methods of worksite inspection, ground research, and building structural monitoring, drilling and worksite characterization into advanced geothermal based retrofitting methods. When dealing with “plants of power production”, one needs to develop a Life Cycle Analysis and to apply a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for evaluating any environmental aspects and potential influences throughout the whole life cycle of a product or process or service. The paper first provides a preliminary discussion on this aspect. Then it focuses attention on a pilot site made available within the GEOFIT Consortium. The results from a structural monitoring campaign in this pilot site before and during the drilling operations associated to the implementation of the geothermal power system are presented discussed.

NDVI-based monitoring of long-term vegetation dynamics and responses to multi-time scales droughts in Inner Mongolia

The characteristics of vegetation and drought for different seasons between 1982 and 2015 in Inner Mongolia were studied based on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). The response of vegetation to drought over various time scales for different seasons and vegetation types was investigated using the maximum Pearson correlation, allowing a discussion about the possible causes of any changes. The results indicate that the vegetation NDVI in Inner Mongolia showed an increasing trend in different seasons, with spring vegetation NDVI (April to May) having the largest significant increasing rate, followed by the growing season (April to October), autumn (September to October), and summer (June to August). Accordingly, the proportion of stations with decreasing SPEI was, in descending order, summer, growing season, autumn, and spring. Additionally, the magnitude of the SPEI decrease was greater in eastern Inner Mongolia. NDVI and SPEI were positively correlated in most regions of Inner Mongolia, indicating that changes in vegetation in most parts of this region were affected by the spatial and temporal characteristics of drought, the correlation being them being strongest in the growing season, followed by summer, then spring and autumn. Considering the different types of vegetation, forests were less affected by drought, with broadleaf forests more affected than coniferous forests. The meadow steppes and typical steppes were more affected by 12-month droughts in the growing season and summer, 6-month droughts in spring, and 3-month droughts in autumn, with desert steppes mainly affected by 3-month droughts. The shrubs, sandy vegetation, and cropland were mostly affected by droughts in summer, and show a greater response to 3-month droughts in autumn. Finally, the water balance was found to be the most important factor affecting the response of vegetation to drought in Inner Mongolia.

In-situ monitoring of the Seine River based on the MeSeine network

In Europe, the management of freshwater ecosystem is governed by the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/CE) and its transposing legislation in France (2006-1772 of December 2006). The good ecological status of water are evaluated using a combination of several indicators such as biological and physico-chemical parameters. The Seine River crosses several important urbanized areas of France, including the Parisian conurbation (9 millions inhabitants). To ensure the good ecological status of the Seine River, the Greater Paris Conurbation Sanitation Authority (SIAAP), has constructed and operated the MeSeine network since 1990. MeSeine constitutes a tool for evaluating the quality of the Seine river and its tributaries (Marne, Oise) in terms of physico-chemistry, bacteriology, micro-contamination and faunal diversity. The MeSeine network extends along 125 km of the Seine River (from Choisy to Méricourt) and over 13 km along the Marne River (frome Champigny to Alfortville). It is structured around tree pillars: <ul> <li>Real time monitoring of the physico-chemical composition of the Seine river using in situ sensor, in particular dissolved oxygen and temperature sensors</li> <li>Sampling and laboratory analysis campaigns to monitor watercourses quality and comply with the quality standards as defined by the Water Framework Directive (good ecological and chemical parameters)</li> <li>Biota monitoring to appreciate the diversity of fish populations, macro-invertebrates and diatoms.</li> </ul> The aim of this work is to provide dissolved oxygen and temperature data of the Seine, generated by the in-situ sensors of the MeSeine network, via the open platform Zenodo.

Data for: Spatial monitoring of flying insects over a Swedish lake using a CW lidar system

Data for a field experiment on remote sensing of flying insects are supplied. A bistatic CW lidar system of the Scheimpflug type was employed, and echoes from flying insects over and close to a Swedish lake were recorded as read-out files from an array detector making observations along the emitted laser beam. The activated pixels of the detector could be converted into range data by triangulation. With a high detector read-out frequency, data on numerous insects could be obtained. Special emphasis was put on distinguishing between large and small insects (from the intensities of the recorded echoes) and the insect positions with regard to the shores of the lake.

Genbank and BOLD accession numbers of sequences from "New insights into the diversity of cryptobenthic Cirripectes blennies in the Mascarene Archipelago sampled using Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS)"

Abstract: Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) are artificial mini-reefs designed for standardised sampling of sessile and small motile cryptobenthic organisms. ARMS are also effective for collecting small cryptobenthic fishes, such as the combtooth blennies of the genus Cirripectes. Recent studies discovered several Cirripectes species endemic to islands or archipelagos, in spite of the generally broad distributions of tropical and subtropical blennies. Thus, in order to evaluate the diversity and distribution of Cirripectes species in the Mascarene Archipelago, a little studied region but an important biodiversity hotspot, complete mitochondrial genomes and nuclear rhodopsin genes were sequenced for 39 specimens collected with ARMS deployed on outer reef slopes at Reunion and Rodrigues islands. Mitochondrial COI sequences were analysed to integrate these specimens within the largest dataset of publicly available sequences. Three species were found in the Mascarene Archipelago, Cirripectes castaneus, C. randalli, and C. stigmaticus. C. castaneus and C. stigmaticus both have an Indo-Pacific distribution with several haplotypes shared among distant localities. In agreement with the literature, C. randalli shows a small-range endemism restricted to the Mascarenes. We confirmed the presence of C. castaneus, C. randalli and C. stigmaticus in Rodrigues, and the presence of C. stigmaticus in Reunion. This study contributes to fill the gaps in taxonomic and molecular knowledge of the reef cryptobiome in the South-West Indian Ocean, and provides the first complete mitogenomes for the genus, a crucial step for future molecular-based inventories (e.g. eDNA).

Using standardized fish-specific autonomous reef monitoring structures (FARMS) to quantify cryptobenthic fish communities

1. Biodiversity inventories and monitoring techniques for marine fishes often overlook small (<5cm), bottom-associated ('cryptobenthic') fishes, and few standardized, comparative assessments of cryptobenthic fish communities exist. We sought to develop a standardized, quantitative survey method for cryptobenthic fishes that permits their sampling across a variety of habitats and conditions. 2. Fish-specific autonomous reef monitoring structures (FARMS) are designed to sample cryptobenthic fishes using a suite of accessible and affordable materials. To generate a variety of microhabitats, FARMS consist of three layers of stacked PVC pipes in three different sizes, as well as a bottom and top level of loose PVC-pipe fragments in a mesh basket. We deployed FARMS across a variety of habitats, including coral reefs, seagrass beds, oyster reefs, mangroves, and soft-bottom habitats across six locations (Hawai'i, Texas, Panama, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Curaçao). 3. From shallow estuaries to coral reefs beyond 100 m depth, FARMS attracted distinct communities of native cryptobenthic fishes with strong site or habitat specificity. Comparing the FARMS to communities sampled with alternative methods (enclosed clove-oil stations on coral reefs in Panama and oyster sampling units on oyster reefs in Texas) suggests that FARMS yield a subset of cryptobenthic species representative of those present on local coral and oyster reefs. While FARMS yield fewer individuals per sample and are restricted to cryptobenthic species, they are efficient sampling devices relative to the sampled area. 4. We demonstrate that FARMS represent a useful tool for standardized collections of cryptobenthic fishes. While natural substrata are bound to yield more mature communities with a larger number of individuals and wider range of specialist species, the potential to deploy and retrieve FARMS in turbid environments, beyond regular SCUBA depth, and where fish collections using anesthetics or ichthyocides are forbidden suggests that they are a valuable complementary technique to survey fishes in aquatic ecosystems. Deploying FARMS in locations and habitats where cryptobenthic fish communities have not been studied in detail may yield many valuable specimens of unknown or poorly known species.

Trinity College Botanic Garden long-term monitoring program

Botanic gardens hold large, documented, and accessible collections of living plants. These represent unique subsets of taxa from different biogeographical regions growing under common environmental conditions, connecting people to global plant research and conservation efforts while offering a place beneficial for human health and wellbeing. Despite Botanic Gardens being an ideal setting for climate change research, their potential for comparative, long-term studies and outreach in the field is still underutilised. As part of its ten-year strategy, Trinity College Botanic Garden (TCBG) aims to tap this potential and establish a programme for long-term (>30 years) monitoring of key physiological performances in its living woody plant collection. The programme will also assess particulate pollution (PM10 and PM2.5) interception by the same trees, pairing climate change and urban green research. Importantly, the project will include the design of a transferable protocol, produce vouchered herbarium specimens as a future historical archive and as a pedagogical tool, and support the garden outreach strategy, so as to nurture its link with both Trinity College Dublin and local communities, ensuring the garden's legacy into the future.
