We present sedimentological data from 3 sediment cores (RI 05, RI 12 and RI 13), which were obtained from a backfilled Weser paleo-meander near the town of Rinteln in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The sediment cores were extracted during two field campaigns in April and August of 2023 using a petrol-driven Wacker hammer (BHF 30 S) with closed steel tubes equipped with PVC liners (5 cm diameter). In the Laboratory for Physical Geography of the Freie Universität Berlin the PVC liners were opened and extracted sediments were cleaned and documented.

The presented sedimentological parameters include: raw data of elemental composition derived by a portable energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t, see Hoelzmann et al. 2017; https://doi.org/10.5194/gi-6-93-2017) and volume-specific magnetic susceptibility (frequency 0.46 kHz, with an MS2C core scanning sensor and an MS3 meter; Bartington Instruments), both measured on the split sediment cores. Raw measurements of grain size distributions were done using a Beckmann Coulter LS13320 with PIDS (six measurements per sample). Carbonates were dissolved using 17 % HCl and organic material was removed by applying 30 % H2O2 for several days in a 40 °C water bath. Prior to measuring, 0.5 g Na4P2O7 was added as an anti-coagulation agent, the samples were placed in an overhead shaker for 24 h and exposed to ultrasonic. Loss on Ignition was investigated following the procedure described by Dean (1974; https://doi.org/10.1306/74D729D2-2B21-11D7-8648000102C1865D) and calculated after Heiri et al. (2001; https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1008119611481). pH values and electric conductivity were determined on subsamples of 5 g in a solution of 12.5 ml bi-distilled water with the eco Testr pH2 and the HANNA DiST HI 98303. All subsamples were measured twice and the results averaged.

In the pursuit of more secure information transfer, advanced nanoelectronic technologies and nanomaterials must be developed. Here, we present a material able to undergo an unprecedented light-pumped directional charge transfer process reminiscent of toppling dominoes. The material is based on ortho-fluorinated azobenzene molecules which are organized in molecular rows by the regular array of a metal-organic framework. The azobenzene molecules undergo light-induced transcis forward as well as electrocatalytic cistrans backward isomerization. Our findings reveal that electron hopping occurs in a sequential and propagating manner between the light-generated cis isomers along with an isomerization of the sample to the trans state. Thus, light can be used to locally write information, which subsequently can be read out by the transferred charge with simultaneous deletion of the information. This freely repeatable, self-erasing domino information transfer is a groundbreaking new mechanism to process information on the molecular level that may find application in encryption.

We present data from two geoarchaeological/ethnohistorical field campaigns carried out in Tadjoura (Djibouti) in 2023 and 2024.

It accompanies the paper Hardt et al. (submitted to Archäologische Forschungen in Afrika in March 2025): Ancient routes of interaction in the historical sultanate of Tadjoura - results of two geoarcheological and ethnohistorical research seasons in 2023 and 2024

The data published here come from sediments sampled within archaeological structures and are used for their detailed description and dating. For radiocarbon dating, charcoal or other organic fragments were extracted from the sediment by floatation. The dating was carried out at the Poznan Radiocarbon Lab via AMS. The sedimentological parameters include grain size distribution curves based on laser diffraction measurements (3 measurements per sample; Beckman Coulter LS 13320) and raw data of the elemental composition obtained by a portable energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer (Thermoscientific Niton XLt3). Sedimentological works were carried out in the laboratory for Physical Geography at Freie Universität Berlin. The preparation steps followed the standard laboratory procedure (cf. Hardt et al., 2023; doi.org/10.5194/egqsj-72-37-2023).

The raw XRF data include measurements of the following standard material that can be used for calibration: RF25 => NCS DC 73325 Soil, China National Analysis Center for Iron and Steel (2008) RF87 => NCS DC 73387 Soil, China National Analysis Center for Iron and Steel (2008) RF89 => NCS DC 73389 Soil, China National Analysis Center for Iron and Steel (2008)

The spin-crossover (SCO) properties of the dinuclear complex [{Fe(H2B(pz)2)2}2μ−(ac(bipy)2)] were studied as (sub)-monolayer and thin film deposited by an ultra-high vacuum liquid-jet deposition technique on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. A comparison of the SCO properties of thin films and a dropcast sample indicates that the spin-switching probability of the thin films is limited due to substrate–molecule interactions. The maximum percentage of molecules in the low-spin (LS) state observed for 0.7 and 1.8 monolayers (ML) is approximately 43 % at a temperature of 80 K in comparison to the dropcast sample where ≈ 66 % of the complex is in the LS state. The similar switching properties of the dropcast sample as of a bulk powder sample confirm that the SCO properties are not affected by the presence of solvent necessary for deposition. The soft-X-ray-induced excited spin-state trapping (SOXIESST) effect is pronounced in all samples, although the light-induced high-spin (HS) fraction of the dropcast and the thin-film samples on HOPG is higher as compared to the HS fraction attained by SOXIESST, which confirms the sensitivity of the complex to light.

This dataset presents detailed coverage information derived from catalogs of CO₂ jet deposit features—fans and blotches—observed at the Martian South Pole. Generated using high-resolution HiRISE imagery from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), the dataset quantifies the spatial extent and distribution of these seasonal deposits across multiple Martian years. The coverage data is crucial for understanding the dynamics of CO₂ sublimation and its interaction with surface and atmospheric processes.

The coverage metrics were calculated from annotated features compiled through contributions from the citizen science project Planet Four and advanced clustering algorithms. Each dataset entry includes coverage percentages, and the tile and image identifiers. The data spans several key regions of interest, providing insights into Martian polar processes.

This coverage dataset is a valuable resource for planetary scientists, climate modelers, and researchers focused on Martian seasonal dynamics and atmospheric coupling.

This dataset comprises comprehensive catalogs of CO₂ jet deposit features—fans and blotches—captured at the Martian South Pole. Derived from High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) imagery onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), the catalogs were developed as part of a thesis exploring seasonal sublimation-driven processes and their implications for Martian surface-atmosphere interactions. The data was created through an extensive workflow, including contributions from the citizen science project Planet Four, advanced density-based clustering (DBSCAN), and ground-projection techniques to generate geographic coordinates. Each entry includes detailed metadata such as location, morphology, orientation, and classification into either fan or blotch types. Additionally, we also provide multiple catalogs including more metadata. The dataset serves as a vital resource for planetary scientists, atmospheric modelers, and researchers studying Martian polar dynamics. It provides foundational data for investigating surface-atmosphere coupling, wind patterns, and the spatial-temporal behavior of seasonal CO₂ jet deposits.

This dataset contains 16 simulation cases which are driven by the same large-scale forcing and exposed to a rough surface. Members of the parametric set of simulations differ by stable density stratification, which is imposed via a Dirichlet boundary condition (viz. constant temperature difference between upper and lower domain boundary). The cases are labelled by their ID (N, S001,..., S128, ..., S256P) according to the stratification measured by the Richardson number Ri_Λ; N stands for neutral stratification, S for stable. The simulations were carried out sequentially in time starting from the neutral case N, a suffix P indicates three concurrent runs for very stable stratification (S128P, S192P, S256P). Here the bulk Richardson number Ri_B is evaluated based on the boundary layer thickness of the neutrally stratified case N such that it does not evolve over the course of simulation. The choice of Re_Λ = 5x10^5 corresponds to Re_D = 1000 (Re_D = DG/ν, with the laminar Ekman-layer depth D = (2ν/f)^0.5 ) and a friction Reynolds number Re_τ ≈ 2700 for the neutrally stratified case. Two computational grids are used: (A) 3840x704x3840, (B) 3840x576x3840 with similar spatial resolution of approximately 2.6x1.0x2.6 wall units and a domain size in terms of the Rossby radius of 0.27x0.26x0.27 for grid (A), and 0.27x0.11x0.27 for grid (B). This dataset contains a PDF file outlining the simulation setup and description of the variables contained in the netCDF files. A detailed description of the methodology and implementation is found in the git repository https://github.com/turbulencia/tlab, which contains the relevant code and a manual.

The Mars 2020 Terrain Relative Navigation HiRISE Orthorectified Image Mosaic provided by USGS was used together with the pixel-aligned HRSC color data to produce a pan-sharpened color mosaic that retains the original spatial resolution of 50 cm per pixel. The pansharpening method used here is HSV color space conversion.

The HRSC color processing is described in Michael et al. (2016). An overview of the HRSC processing methodology and product characteristics is described in Gwinner et al., 2016.

This CSV file records the search results for terms "etat AND armes" and "etat AND artillerie" (condition/inventory AND weapons, condition/inventory AND artillery) from documents relating to the Caribbean, Louisiana and Guyana colonies of the First Colonial Empire collection, held at the French Archives nationales d'outremer (Overseas archives). The results range from 1675 to 1815. The file records the search term, archive directory and code of the record, date of the record, kind of record, title, and availability online. It then records whether the record includes any remarks on the condition of weapons/artillery (as opposed to simply recording numbers), and if so whether problems are noted, whether those noted problems are related to decay or climate, and finally whether mention is specifically made of rust/oxidisation. This data is intended to support the RUSTEE project; specifically, research into how the claims made in travel narratives about the problems with rusting equipment in different climates (Ligon 1673, Ellis 1748) are or are not reflected in routine colonial administrative correspondance in France's equatorial American colonies. It should also be useful to researchers interested more generally in the role of the island environment, climate and weather in European colonial projects.

The dataset contains shape-files of the valleys and deltas in the Jezero crater on Mars: 1) initial and last incision valleys for the western inlet, northern inlet and outlet; 2) minimum, medium and maximum extents of the western and northern deltas. The mapping was done in ArcGIS 10.8.2 using CTX and HiRISE data (Planetary Data System Imaging Node https://pds-874 imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/) and HRSC data (data archives of ESA and NASA and https://maps.planet.fu-berlin.de [Walter et al., 2018]). For the minimum extent of the western delta a GIS version of the map of [Stack et al., 2020] was used. Details of mapping are described in [Ovchinnikova A. et al. A modeling approach for water and sediment transport in Jezero crater on Mars based on new geomorphological evidence. Icarus (accepted)].
