Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...

Estimating snow depth based on dual polarimetric radar index from Sentinel-1 GRD data: A case study in the Scandinavian Mountains

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
The sensitivity of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarization information to snow depth changes provides new opportunities for regional snow depth retrieval in mountains with thick snow cover.

Surface Velocities of Glaciers in Western Canada from Speckle-Tracking of ALOS PALSAR and RADARSAT-2 data

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2018
Speckle-tracking of historically acquired ALOS PALSAR and RADARSAT-2 datasets are used to determine the dynamics of major glaciers and ice masses in western Canada over the past decade. For the icefields of the St.

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Single‐grain K‐feldspar luminescence dating on primary and re‐deposited aeolian sediments in Mongolia

Boreas, EarlyView.
Owing to its location in the semi‐arid region of northern Central Asia, Mongolia is highly sensitive to climate change and therefore provides an excellent setting for palaeoenvironmental research. Proxy data from different sediment types are crucial for interpreting past climate changes and landscape evolution, while burial ages provide chronological ...

LGM glaciation in the northern Dinaric Mountains, Slovenia: new insights from terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide dating and Parallel Ice Sheet Model simulation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Dinaric Mountains are a mountain range stretching NW–SE from the Alps to the Albanides–Hellenides in central Europe. The highest parts were occupied by small ice fields and/or valley glaciers during the Quaternary cold periods, while even today some small glaciers still exist in topoclimatically favourable areas.

Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

Ibis, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

A Novel Two-Stage Approach to Improve Forest Height Estimation From SAR Backscatter in Sloping Terrain

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
The use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to monitor forest biophysical parameters is a significant focus of remote sensing research. However, in mountainous areas with complex terrain, topographic variations can distort the SAR backscatter signal ...

Networked Regional Resilience: Diffusion of Risk and Adaptation Across Interconnected Regions

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regions face not only direct exposure to economic and physical shocks but also indirect consequences of actions in interconnected regions. This paper examines how socio‐spatial networks shape regional resilience to contagious shocks through dynamic feedback between risk diffusion and adaptation diffusion.
