In summer 2018 the energy company St1 carried out its first stimulation of deep geothermal wells in Otaniemi, Espoo, in the Helsinki metropolitan area, southern Finland. The Institute of Seismology of University of Helsinki (ISUH) monitored the induced seismicity during the stimulation, and also months before and after it. This dataset consists of seismic waveforms of 254 induced earthquakes that occurred between 5 June 2018 to 8 August 2018, with local magnitudes between 0.5 and 1.8. Waveform, location and timing data have been produced at ISUH using seismic stations of the Finnish National Seismic Network (doi: 10.14470/UR044600), the temporary HEL broadband network, the temporary borehole network of St1 (doi: 10.1785/0220190253), and a pool of lightweight mobile seismic instruments operated by ISUH (GIPP data cubes, doi: 10.5880/GIPP.201802.1). The deployment is described in Hillers et al., 2020, The 2018 Geothermal Reservoir Stimulation in Espoo/Helsinki, Southern Finland: Seismic Network Anatomy and Data Features, doi:10.1785/0220190253. Event data, event metadata, and station metadata are provided in distinct directories. For event data, each event is assigned a subdirectory. Data formats follow generally accepted seismological standards.

Plot design and harvesting Twelve sampling plots (16 m × 16 m) in three P. deltoides plantations were established based on systematic random design. To minimize edge effects, surrounding rows were not considered during sampling. The age of the stands was 18-20 years old. In each sampling plot, the DBH (diameter at breast height 1.3 m above the ground) of the individual trees was measured with a caliper in two perpendicular directions and the mean DBH determined. Tree height was measured by Haglöf-Vertex IV hypsometer. Based on the DBH and height measurements, 10 DBH classes from 15 to 42 cm (3 cm intervals) were established. The value of each DBH class represented the central value (i.e., class 15 included all DBH from 12.5 to 17.5 cm). In each DBH class, one representative tree was selected and harvested for a total of 10 P. deltoides trees. Measurements of bark percentagesThe stems of harvested trees were marked and cut into 2 m-segments. The mid-length diameter of each segment was measured outside the bark in two perpendicular directions with a caliper to determine the mean diameter. A 5 cm-thick disc was cut from the middle of each segment. A total of 123 discs were obtained and brought to the laboratory. All the discs were arranged into 2-cm wide diameter classes. The value of each disc class represents the central value (i.e., class 20 included all discs whose diameters ranged from 19.5 to 20.5 cm). Bark was separated from the wood using a peeler knife for each disc. Fresh bark and wood were weighted separately, oven-dried at 80 °C until constant weight, and the oven-dry weight measured. The bark percentage of each disc was considered as bark percentage of a 2 m-segment for fresh and dry weight. Finally, the bark percentage of the whole stem in each DBH class was calculated by adding the 2 m-segments. Bark biomass as an energy source has a high economic value. Bark content variations and production helps recognize the potential of this bioenergy source spatially before harvesting. The percentage of fresh and dry bark in Populus deltoides grown under a monoculture system was examined in the temperate region of northern Iran. Diameter at breast height (DBH) and total height data were analyzed based on an initial inventory. Ten sample trees were felled, separated into 2 m-segments, and weighted in the field. A 5-cm-thick disc from each segment was extracted for determining fresh and dry bark percentages. These were statistically significantly different in disc diameter classes and decreased with increasing disc diameters. Bark percentage of the disc classes ranged from 21.8 to 24.4% in small-sized diameters to 8.1‒9.3% in large-sized diameters. The differences between fresh and dry bark percentages depended on water content variations. Allometric power equations were fitted to data of fresh and dry bark percentages and disc diameters as well as DBH. The values of R2 ranged from 0.89 to 0.90. In addition, allometric power equations provided the best fits for relationships between total stem dry biomass, dry bark biomass, and DBH, R2 = 0.986 and 0.979 for the total stem dry biomass and stem dry bark biomass, respectively. The allometric models can be used to estimate bark percentage and bark production of P. deltoides in segments and for the whole stem for a wide range of segment diameters (8‒44 cm) and DBH (15‒45 cm).

The Global Yield Gap Atlas project (GYGA - http://yieldgap.org ) has undertaken a yield gap assessment following the protocol recommended by van Ittersum et. al. (van Ittersum et. al., 2013). This datafile holds the results for rainfed rice.

This dataset and codebook correspond to the second round of survey data gathered in Denmark in 2023, within the project FULFILL - Fundamental Decarbonisation Through Sufficiency By Lifestyle Changes. As part of Work Package 3 (WP3) in the FULFILL project, we collected quantitative data from six countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, and India. The first round of the survey, consisted of recruiting a representative sample of approximately 2000 households in each country. In this second survey round, we recruit around 500 respondents from the initial survey round, ensuring representativity is maintained. This survey is very similar to the survey in the first round and includes a lot of identical items, including a quantitative assessment of the carbon footprint in the housing, mobility, and diet sectors, socio-economic factors such as age, gender, income, education, household size, life stage, and political orientation. Furthermore, the survey includes measures of quality of life, encompassing aspects such as health and well-being, environmental quality, financial security, and comfort. New for this second round, we have incorporated questions regarding the measures respondents adopted in response to the 2022 energy crisis.

This data publication provides two datasets of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates sampled during the MomarSat 2022 cruise. One dataset was gathered with a deep autonomous Vertical Microstructure Profiler (VMP-6000). The second dataset was gathered with the MicroRiYo mooring as described in the reference paper (Ferron et al. 2024). The two datasets, one for each instrument, are available as tar files. Each tar file contains fourteen NetCDF files. Each NetCDF file contains the dissipation rate profile, the time (UTC) of the profile start, the geographical position (deployment of the VMP or mooring position), and the mean pressure for each dissipation rate estimate (two estimates at each pressure level from the two shear sensors). Each dissipation rate comes with a quality control matrix QC (14 x 4) that characterizes how the associated mean shear spectrum fitted the expected theoretical Nasmyth spectrum: QC( 1:10, 1 ) : Value of the 10 criteria used (see reference paper) for the dissipation rates of shear 1. QC( 1:10, 2 ): Criteria met (=1) or not met (=0) for shear 1 dissipation rates. QC(11,1): Same criteria as QC(10,1) expressed in terms of mean absolute deviation (MAD) instead of variance (see Lueck et al. 2022) (shear 1). QC(11,2): state whether criteria QC(11,1) is met (=1) or not met (=0) (shear 1). QC(12,1): Number of shear spectra averaged to compute one dissipation rate estimate (shear 1). QC(12,2): Number of accelerometer used to remove vibrations (Goodman et al. 2006; Lueck et al. 2022; Ferron et al. 2023) (shear 1) QC(13,1): MAD (shear 1) QC(13,2): unused QC(14,1): index of first used spectral component to compute the shear variance used in the dissipation rate estimate (shear 1). QC(14,2): index of last used spectral component to compute the shear variance used in the dissipation rate estimate (shear 1). QC(:,3): same as QC(:,1) for shear 2. QC(:,4): same as QC(:,2) for shear 2. Shear data were processed following the processing flow chart of the Atomix SCOR Working Group 160 (https://wiki.app.uib.no/atomix/index.php?title=Flow_chart_for_shear_probes).
