Optically Active Spin Defects in Few-Layer Thick Hexagonal Boron Nitride
Optically-active spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are promising quantum systems for the design of two-dimensional quantum sensing units offering optimal proximity to the sample being probed. In this work, we first demonstrate that the electron spin resonance frequencies of boron vacancy centres (V$_\text{B}^-$) can be detected optically in

Using ground-penetrating radar, topography and classification of vegetation to model the sediment and active layer thickness in a periglacial lake catchment, western Greenland [PDF]
The geometries of a catchment constitute the basis for distributed physically based numerical modeling of different geoscientific disciplines. In this paper results from ground-penetrating radar (GPR) measurements, in terms of a 3-D model of total ...

Soil moisture redistribution and its effect on inter-annual active layer temperature and thickness variations in a dry loess terrace in Adventdalen, Svalbard [PDF]
High-resolution field data for the period 2000–2014 consisting of active layer and permafrost temperature, active layer soil moisture, and thaw depth progression from the UNISCALM research site in Adventdalen, Svalbard, is combined with a physically ...

The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) region has been one of the regions on Earth with strongest warming since 1950. However, the northwest of the AP showed a cooling from 2000 to 2015, which had local consequences with an increase in snow accumulation and a ...

Estimating Permafrost Active Layer Thickness (ALT) Biogeography over the Arctic Tundra
The geospatial model here presented estimates the permafrost active layer thickness (ALT) over the entire Arctic in the last 20 years, and it is based on the spatial and temporal oscillations measured by satellite-based essential variables associated with the thermal state of permafrost. The model integrates the climate and soil components, such as the

Regionalized active layer thickness trends from nonlinear baseflow recession
Thawing of permanently frozen ground (permafrost) has increased in recent decades with negative implications for human and non-human adaptation to climate change. Impacts include reduced ground stability, increased transportation risk, and changes in water availability.

Casimir stresses in active nematic films
We calculate the Casimir stresses in a thin layer of active fluid with nematic order. By using a stochastic hydrodynamic approach for an active fluid layer of finite thickness L, we generalize the Casimir stress for nematic liquid crystals in thermal ...
