Tarfala Forskningsstation – Stockholm universitet | Carlos Eduardo Thompson Tarfala forskningsstation är Stockholm universitets centrum för glaciologisk, alpinsk och arktisk fältforskning. Stationen ligger i Tarfaladalen i norra Sverige, vid Kebnekaisefjällen, på cirka 1130–1135 meter över havet. Den omges av flera glaciärer (bland annat Storglaciären), alpina bergsområden och sjöar. Stationen bedriver långsiktiga mätprogram inom glaciologi, meteorologi, hydrologi, permafrost och ekosystemförändringar. Mätningarna av Storglaciärens massbalans har pågått sedan 1946, vilket gör dem till en av världens längsta sammanhängande tidsserier inom glaciologisk forskning. Tarfala är en viktig plats för klimat- och miljöforskning, både nationellt och internationellt.

Space Archaeology and the Management of Terrestrial and Underwater Archaeology through Remote Sensing and LiDAR Carlos Eduardo Thompson Alves de Souza Abstract This paper examines the application of Space Archaeology, Remote Sensing, and LiDAR technologies in the detection, documentation, and management of terrestrial and underwater archaeological sites. By integrating satellite data, aerial imagery, and laser scanning, it is possible to identify buried structures, submerged landscapes, and cultural patterns with high spatial accuracy. These technologies provide essential tools for non-invasive archaeological research and for the sustainable management of cultural heritage in rapidly changing environments. 1. Introduction Archaeological research has undergone a significant transformation through the integration of geospatial technologies. Space Archaeology refers to the use of satellite platforms and aerial observation systems for the detection and analysis of archaeological features on the Earth’s surface and underwater. Remote Sensing provides multispectral and radar data that allow the identification of anomalies associated with past human activity. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) complements this by generating precise topographic models capable of penetrating vegetation cover and shallow water, revealing otherwise inaccessible archaeological information. These methods contribute not only to site discovery but also to long-term monitoring and management strategies for cultural heritage preservation. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1 Remote Sensing High-resolution satellite imagery (optical, multispectral, hyperspectral, and radar) was analyzed to detect geomorphological and anthropogenic anomalies. This included the identification of ancient settlement patterns, landscape modifications, and submerged features. Data were processed using standard image enhancement and classification techniques to improve archaeological feature visibility. 2.2 LiDAR Surveys Airborne and terrestrial LiDAR systems were employed to acquire three-dimensional topographic data. Point clouds were processed to generate Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) and Digital Surface Models (DSMs). These datasets enabled the detection of buried structures, paleo-channels, and submerged landscapes, even in densely vegetated or sedimented contexts. 2.3 GIS-Based Integration All Remote Sensing and LiDAR datasets were georeferenced and integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS). Spatial analysis tools were applied for feature extraction, pattern recognition, and predictive modeling. This integration facilitated systematic documentation, spatial correlation, and heritage management planning. 3. Applications 3.1 Terrestrial Archaeology Spaceborne and airborne datasets allowed the detection of ancient urban grids, road systems, fortifications, agricultural terraces, and other anthropogenic structures. In heavily forested regions, LiDAR proved especially effective in revealing topographic signatures hidden beneath vegetation. 3.2 Underwater Archaeology Bathymetric LiDAR and satellite-derived bathymetry were applied to identify submerged landscapes, paleoshorelines, and shipwreck sites in shallow coastal waters. These methods provide essential baselines for understanding prehistoric coastal occupation and maritime trade routes. 3.3 Cultural Heritage Management The integration of geospatial data supports the creation of digital archaeological inventories, vulnerability assessments, and monitoring systems. These tools are fundamental for designing sustainable conservation policies, especially in areas affected by urban expansion, agriculture, or climate change. 4. Discussion The combined use of Remote Sensing and LiDAR represents a paradigm shift in archaeological prospection. These methods allow for large-scale, non-invasive data acquisition and analysis, reducing the need for extensive ground surveys. However, challenges remain regarding data resolution, interpretation accuracy, and the integration of interdisciplinary datasets. Continued technological development and methodological standardization are necessary to enhance the reliability and applicability of these approaches. 5. Conclusion Space Archaeology, Remote Sensing, and LiDAR offer unprecedented opportunities for the identification, analysis, and protection of terrestrial and underwater archaeological sites. Their integration into heritage management frameworks enables more effective conservation strategies and contributes to the understanding of cultural landscapes on a regional and global scale.

Космодром Байконур — это крупнейший и старейший в мире действующий космодром, расположенный в Казахстане, на территории пустыни Казахский степи. Он был построен в 1955 году и использовался Советским Союзом для запуска первых космических аппаратов и пилотируемых миссий. Вот ключевые сведения о Байконуре: Местоположение: Южный Казахстан, около города Байконур (раньше назывался Ленинск). Площадь: примерно 6 717 км², включая стартовые площадки, жилые и административные зоны. Историческое значение: 4 октября 1957 года с Байконура был запущен спутник «Спутник-1» — первый искусственный спутник Земли. 12 апреля 1961 года — первый пилотируемый полет человека в космос: Юрий Гагарин на корабле «Восток-1». Стартовые площадки: несколько площадок для разных типов ракет, включая легендарную Р-7 (Союз). Современное использование: запуск космических аппаратов России и международных партнеров, пилотируемые миссии на МКС, спутники связи и исследования. Особенности: из-за своего размера и инфраструктуры Байконур можно назвать «городом в пустыне» — там есть жилые районы, школы, магазины, больницы для сотрудников космодрома. Если хочешь, я могу сделать короткий исторический и технический обзор Байконура в виде научного резюме, как для статьи или отчета. Это будет компактно и информативно.

Influence of Plasma Trails from Hypersonic Events on HF Radar Data Capture Getting 1050 CJNB from Kazakhstan Loud and Clear with Our Loop Antenna Carlos Eduardo Thompson Abstract This study reports the successful long-distance reception of the Canadian AM radio station 1050 CJNB from Kazakhstan using a precision loop antenna. The event occurred under unusual ionospheric propagation conditions, likely influenced by plasma trails generated by hypersonic phenomena in the upper atmosphere. These plasma formations can create transient reflective layers that enhance the propagation of high-frequency (HF) signals over intercontinental distances. The observation provides valuable empirical data on the interaction between natural or artificial hypersonic events and HF radio wave propagation, with implications for radar, communications, and atmospheric research. Keywords: HF propagation, hypersonic plasma trails, ionosphere, loop antenna, over-the-horizon reception, radio science.

Влияние плазменных следов гиперзвуковых событий на регистрацию данных РЛС в диапазоне ВЧ Получение сигнала 1050 CJNB из Казахстана громко и ясно с помощью нашей петлевой антенны Карлос Эдуардо Томпсон Аннотация В работе описывается успешный прием канадской радиостанции 1050 CJNB на большие расстояния из Казахстана с использованием высокоточной петлевой антенны. Событие произошло при необычных условиях ионосферного распространения, вероятно вызванных плазменными следами гиперзвуковых явлений в верхних слоях атмосферы. Такие плазменные образования способны создавать временные отражающие слои, которые усиливают распространение ВЧ-сигналов на межконтинентальные расстояния. Полученные наблюдения представляют собой важный эмпирический материал для изучения взаимодействия естественных или искусственных гиперзвуковых событий с распространением радиоволн ВЧ-диапазона, что имеет значение для радиолокации, связи и атмосферных исследований. Ключевые слова: распространение ВЧ-волн, плазменные следы, гиперзвуковые явления, ионосфера, петлевая антенна, загоризонтный прием, радионаука.

Marine Archaeological Sanctuaries on the Brazilian Coast — Summary Brazil has a coastline of approximately 8,500 km, rich in underwater cultural heritage (UCH), including shipwrecks, submerged port structures, religious sites, and shellmounds. Although there is no official legal category called “marine archaeological sanctuaries,” several protected marine and coastal areas in the state of Rio de Janeiro are relevant for underwater archaeology. Examples include: Arraial do Cabo Marine Extractive Reserve – protects marine resources; potential for submerged heritage. Tamoios Ecological Station – includes marine zones and islands in Ilha Grande Bay. Aventureiro Sustainable Development Reserve – manages marine and coastal environments with traditional communities. Academic research has identified these areas as significant for cultural heritage, but no official list of marine archaeological sanctuaries currently exists in Brazil. Likewise, there are no formal legal designations specifically titled “marine archaeological sanctuaries” linked to Carlos Eduardo Thompson (Carlos Eduardo Thompson Alves de Souza), although his work involves remote sensing, underwater archaeological research, and mapping in Rio de Janeiro. Shellmounds (sambaquis) along the southern coast are another key example of coastal heritage, sometimes partially submerged, offering important archaeological evidence of early human–marine interactions. In short: Brazil has extensive underwater heritage potential, especially along the coast of Rio de Janeiro, but marine archaeological sanctuaries are currently more a conceptual or academic idea than a legally established system.

Video Concept | Carlos Eduardo Thompson | Frankfurt 2024 “First Crossroads” unfolds as a poetic encounter between body, space, and memory. Set against the architectural rhythm of Frankfurt, the video traces ephemeral gestures that echo moments of transition. Through subtle movement, layered imagery, and atmospheric soundscapes, the work reveals an inner journey suspended between past and future — a contemplative space where identity is questioned, and new artistic paths emerge.

Concept de Campagne de Marque — Vidéo par Carlos Eduardo Thompson Titre : « L’Essence Dévoilée » Idée Centrale : Un voyage cinématographique qui fusionne héritage personnel, esthétique contemporaine et narration émotionnelle pour révéler l’identité profonde de la marque. La campagne met en avant l’authenticité, l’élégance intemporelle et une connexion humaine qui dépasse les tendances. 1. Structure Narrative Ouverture — Le Pouls Des images abstraites et atmosphériques introduisent des textures, la lumière et le mouvement. Un rythme semblable à un battement de cœur installe une tension poétique. (Ex. : vent dans les tissus, faisceau de lumière, bruits de pas qui approchent.) Partie Centrale — La Révélation L’univers de la marque se déploie à travers des scènes chorégraphiées : mannequins, performeurs ou personnes réelles habitent des espaces évocateurs. Ces scènes expriment les valeurs fondamentales de la marque — savoir-faire, élégance et singularité. (Ex. : une danseuse évolue entre ombre et lumière, vêtue de la collection emblématique.) Climax — La Déclaration Une image ou un moment fort devient la signature de la campagne. L’identité de la marque est révélée non par le logo, mais par l’émotion, la silhouette et le langage visuel. (Ex. : plan en ralenti, gros plans intenses, décor architectural fort.) Conclusion — L’Héritage Le film se termine sur le nom de la marque et une courte phrase poétique. Le paysage sonore s’estompe, laissant une impression durable de raffinement et de sens. 2. Langage Visuel Minimalisme cinématographique, avec un usage poétique de la lumière (tons dorés, contrastes doux ou noir et blanc). Mode et performance s’entrelacent — le mouvement raconte autant que le vêtement ou l’objet. Lieux architecturaux ou naturels comme scènes vivantes (anciennes gares, plages, toits urbains, paysages lunaires pour une approche avant-gardiste). Textures et gros plans pour souligner le savoir-faire et l’émotion. 3. Ton & Émotion Élégant, intemporel et évocateur. Résonance émotionnelle plutôt qu’explication directe. Mélange de dévotion, de mémoire et de modernité — une signature artistique propre à Carlos Eduardo Thompson. 4. Approche Technique & Artistique Tournage avec des caméras cinéma numériques haut de gamme (ex. : Blackmagic Pocket 4K, objectifs Sigma Art). Éclairage maîtrisé avec filtres polarisants et diffusion pour une atmosphère douce. Intégration de chorégraphies originales, voix off ou narration poétique. Montage rythmé en harmonie avec la musique ou une ambiance sonore travaillée. 5. Exemples de Slogans / Taglines « Façonné pour le temps. » « Là où l’héritage rencontre la vision. » « Lumière. Mouvement. Identité. » « Au-delà de la mode — l’essence. »#carloseduardothompson
