The current document, titled MARINEWIND DMP, has been developed within the framework of the MARINEWIND project, which is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement N° 101075572. This deliverable describes the data management process for the data to be collected, processed and/or generated by the MARINEWIND project. As part of making research data findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable (FAIR), the Data Management Plan (DMP) provides a summary of the main elements to consider in the definition of the MARINEWIND data management policy to be used by project partners throughout the project activities. The DMP will provide indications about the management of all the data generated during the project activities, including how data will be collected, managed, stored, and made available during the project and how they will be shared upon MARINEWIND completion.&nbsp

Lithium superionic conductor electrolytes may enable the safe use of metallic lithium anodes in all-solid-state batteries. The incoming formation of interphases may play an essential role in the stability of the solid electrolyte.

In early October 2018, a group of oil exploration geologists carried out a geological expedition through the Himalayas, in the Garhwall region, near the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The objective of this paper is to describe a regional geological cross section, from the Gangetic plain to the High Himalayan mountains of the Nanda Devi National Park in the border with Tíbet, today part of China. Close to the city of Dehradun the Main Boundary Thrust is croping out, it represents a major contact between Neo-Proterozoic schists and Eocene gravels of the Siwalik unit, the molasses type deposits that record the flexure of the Indian Plate. Further north is located the Lesser Himalaya, made up by imbricates of Neoproterozoic limestones, quartzites and metabasites of the Krol Group, all exposed along the Ganges river Valley, where the Tons Thrust can be observed. Further north, in the Helang area, the Main Central Thrust acts as a major crustal detachment. In this paper the structure associated to this wide kilometric scale contractional shear zone is described. In fact, two major thrusts define these deformation zones the lower Munsiari Thrust and the upper Vaikrita Thrust that bring mid crustal rocks in contact with upper crustal units of the Lesser Himalayan Sequence. The high strain area is defined by C-S fabrics, mylonites and penetrative isoclinal folding. Moving north some extensional structures, extensional shear zones and normal faults are observed. Further north, near the small village of Malari, close to the Tíbetan border a major extensional detachment knows as the South Tíbetan Detachment (STD), puts into contact high grade metamorphic rocks mostly migmatitesintruded by tourmaline-rich leucogranites of the Higher Himalayan crystallines with low grade to non-metamorphic Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic units of the Tethys Himalayan sequences. Integration of new collected field data with previous works may suggest that during Early Miocene time thrusting along the MCT is coeval with extension through the STD, afterwards the contractional activity continues in the MCT while ductile extensional shear in the STD ceases at Middle Miocene time, syn-orogenic extensional collapse is from that time onwards assume by fragile normal faults. A principios de octubre de 2018, un grupo de geólogos de exploración petrolera realizó una expedición geológica por el Himalaya, en la denominada región de Garhwall, en el estado indio de Uttarakhand. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir e integrar una sección transversal geológica regional, desde la llanura del Ganges hasta las montañas del Alto Himalaya del Parque Nacional del Nanda Devi en la frontera con el Tíbet, hoy parte de China. Cerca de la ciudad de Dehradun se realizó la observación del denominado Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) o Cabalgamiento principal limítrofe, un importante contacto entre esquistos neoproterozoicos y conglomerados eocenos de la unidad Siwalik, los depósitos de tipo molasa que registran la flexura de la placa India. Siguiendo el viaje hacia el norte se atraviesa el denominado Bajo Himalaya constituido por imbricados de calizas, cuarcitas y metabasitas neoproterozoicas del Grupo Krol, todos expuestos a lo largo del valle del río Ganges, en este sector se atraviesa el cabalgamiento de Tons. Más al norte, en el área de Helang, al sur de Josimath, se encuentra una gran zona de cizalla cortical conocida como el Main Central Thrust (MCT) o Cabalgamiento Principal Central. En este sector se describirá en este trabajo la estructura asociada a esta amplia zona de cizallamiento compresional de escala kilométrica. De hecho, dos importantes cabalgamientos definen esta zona de deformación, el cabalgamiento de Munsiari y el de Vaikrita, que ponen las rocas de la corteza media en contacto con las unidades de la corteza superior. La zona está definida por estructuras de tipo C-S, milonitas y pliegues isoclinales con esquistosidad de plano axial. Avanzando hacia el norte se encuentran algunas estructuras extensionales que afectan a estas unidades. Más al norte, cerca de la pequeña aldea de Malari, cerca de la frontera con el Tíbet, se encuentra un importante despegue extensional, el llamado South Tibetan Detachment (STD) o despegue meridional del Tíbet, que pone en contacto los denominados Cristalinos del Alto Himalaya de rocas metamórficas de alto grado tipo migmatitas intruidas por leucogranitos ricos en turmalina de unidades neoproterozoicas y paleozoicas de bajo grado o no metamórficas de las secuencias del Tetis Himalaya. Integrando observaciones de campo propias con trabajos anteriores, se concluye que el empuje y emplazamiento a lo largo del MCT es en parte coetáneo con la extensión a través del STD, lo que sugiere un colapso extensional sinorogénico de las rocas corticales de la corteza media más dúctiles durante el Mioceno Inferior, posteriormente actividad contraccional en el MCT continua después del cese de deformación dúctil en el STD (Mioceno Medio) y el colapso extensional se concentra en fallas normales frágiles a partir de entonces.

Electrification of passenger cars is one of the most effective approach to reduce noxious emissions in urban areas and, if the electricity is produced using renewable sources, to mitigate the global warming. Automotive battery packages are complex systems that have to comply with many constraints: high performances in terms of gravimetric and volumetric energy and power densities, long cycle and calendar lives, electrical safety, crashworthiness, recyclability. To respect all the above requirements, battery systems integrate a complex battery management system (BMS) connected to an extended network of sensors able to measure the electric potential and the temperature at multiple points in the battery package. New sensing technologies, based on different measurement principles, are emerging as promising approaches to improve the performances of the battery systems and to respond to the needs of the automotive manufacturers.

This presentation describes the new improvements applied to the display of a model already presented at EGU2020.The model was describing a strike/slip fault located in the Venezuelan Andes, and it was special because the fault movement could be animated by the user. The animation was achieved by implementing the options provided by the combination of two software, Blender and Sketchfab, that are typically used for computer games.The new version allows a better understanding of the fault evolution by expanding the area represented in the model and by graphically highlighting the various elements of the topography. The first improvement is achieved by integrating the portion of the model acquired with a drone, with the DTM and imagery acquired by satellites. The second improvement is achieved by colouring the topography with false colours that can be switched on by the user by pressing a button.This new version further improves the initial drone SfM model, so that it can be didactically more effective.

This presentation describes a workflow to enhance the 3D model of a geological outcrop cut across by a regional strike-slip fault located in the Venezuelan Andes.This fault (Boconó Fault) has been active since the Early Holocene time and has affected the landscape by displacing the rivers course and the geometry of ancient glacial moraines.One of these moraines (Los Zerpa) was studied in detail in 1983 by geologist C. Schubert, who described its evolution with a series of hand drawn panels.In 2015 the same area was acquired by the author with a drone survey and rendered as a digital 3D model. More recently the same model has been improved by adding also the interpretation made in the 80’s, adapted to 3D in the form of geometrical elements (lineaments and surfaces) and animations showing the different stages of evolution.The fault model can now be publicly accessed over the internet and the users can observe and animate its evolution in 3D and understand the geological processes more intuitively (https://riccardorocca.github.io/home/Los_Zerpa.html).This result has been achieved by editing the original model with free software which is more typically used for computer games, namely "Blender" (a 3D editor) and "Sketchfab" (a publishing platform for 3D models). Furthermore, the “Sketchfab” display can be programmed in Javascript, adding widgets that allow the users to interact with the scene by hiding/showing/moving specific elements of the model.This workflow is proposed as an example that can be applied to other 3D models of geological faults and other geological features, so that the geological concepts can be represented more intuitively and made accessible to a large audience. With these improvements the models would be a more valuable support to, for instance, published papers and virtual field-trips.

The widespread use of electric vehicles is nowadays limited by the “range anxiety” of the customers. The drivers’ main concerns are related to the kilometric range of the vehicle and to the charging time. An optimized fast-charge profile can help to decrease the charging time, without degrading the cell performance and reducing the cycle life. One of the main reasons for battery capacity fade is linked to the Lithium plating phenomenon. This work investigates two methodologies, i.e., three-electrode cell measurement and internal resistance evolution during charging, for detecting the Lithium plating conditions. From this preliminary analysis, it was possible to develop new Multi-Stage Constant-Current profiles, designed to improve the performance in terms of charging time and cells capacity retention with respect to a reference profile. Four new profiles were tested and compared to a reference. The results coming from the new profiles demonstrate a simultaneous improvement in terms of charging time and cycling life, showing the reliability of the implemented methodology in preventing Lithium plating.

The organometallic complex (fac-Mn(apbpy)(CO) 3 Br) (apbpy = 4-(4-aminophenyl)-2,2?-bipyridine) grafted electrochemically onto carbon cloth serves as an electrocatalyst in the aqueous reduction of CO 2 to syngas. A faradaic efficiency of around 60% for CO and 40% for H 2 at -1.35 V is achieved together with a productivity rate higher than 870 Nl CO h -1 g Mn -1 at turnover numbers of up to 33 200 during 10 hours of operation.

Abstract Here we present a regional study of the offshore/onshore Namibia using gravity and magnetic data aiming to bring a new light on the structural configuration of the major Namibian basins. This has been achieved by integrating all the available wells, vintage seismic images and public domain information. We produced lineament maps at different scales with the aid of gravity and magnetic data enhancements in the attempt of differentiating between regional and local features. In general, volcanic centres and dikes are well recognized as well as two main structural trends: one oriented NW-SE being more prevalent in the offshore, near-onshore and in the Nama basin; the second oriented SW-NE more pronounced in the Owango basin and the Damara Belt. Satellite derived gravity is also used to delineate the transition zone between continental and oceanic crust (COB). Results are compared with information from seismic and well data to locate the COB on the achieved structural map. Magnetics was also used to estimate the depth to basement all over the studied area. Major basins and structural elements such as the SW-NE uplift in the Owango basin, a series of sub-basins with a significant depth in the Damara fold belt and the Nama basin, offshore basins and sub-basins plus structural highs were identified and mapped. 2.5D Gravity and Magnetic modeling over key areas was used to validate the structural interpretation. These models integrate interpreted seismic profiles, densities from stacking velocities, wells, refraction seismic interpretations and public domain data. We found thick piles of sediments could be present below the SDRs in the Walvis and Luderitz basins. While we found the SDRs probably be at direct contact with the continental crust in the Orange basin, generating an important magnetic anomaly, therefore no important sediment accumulation can be inferred below the SDRs in this basin. We also found the Owambo basin in the onshore dipping northward with important dike intrusions in the middle. The Nama basin is characterised by a high magnetised crust with a higher magnetised intrusion generating the large magnetic anomaly at its western end. Introduction Recently, exploration in new venture areas is relying more and more on integrated studies with all the available public domain information, low cost geological and geophysical data. More often the need of analyzing large areas of a regional extent to rapidly evaluate the petroleum potentials is requiring fast tools and large datasets. Gravity and magnetic data have the advantage of continuously cover large areas at a fraction of the costs of conventional seismic or geological field work. This type of data is more than sufficient for determining structural configuration, basement depth and geometry, COB, evaluate sediment thickness and lithologies at regional and basin scale. Here a regional interpretation of the onshore/offshore Namibia with focus on specific basins was undertaken, mainly using low cost GravMag data and public domain information.

A commercial drone was used to acquire a series of images in an area in the Venezuelan Andes characterized by the deformation of a regional strike-slip fault. The digital model obtained by processing the images has allowed to obtain quantitative measurements of the fault displacement and to test geological concepts related to the structure evolution. The test has proven several benefits in applying the drone technology to support the classic geological field work.
