Numerical study of fracture arrest on snow cover [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2010 Under the hypothesis of a perfectly brittle phenomenon, avalanche triggering can be investigated numerically by means of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM).

A Spatial Agent-Based Model to Explore Scenarios of Adaptation to Climate Change in an Alpine Tourism Destination [PDF]
A vast body of literature suggests that the European Alpine region may be one of the most sensitive to climate change impacts. Adaptation to climate change of Alpine socio-ecosystems is increasingly becoming an issue of interest for the scientific ...

Hotspots on cold mountains: Hot flowers as pollinator refuges in mountain ecosystems
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mountain environments constrain the activity of ectothermic insects. Yet, fine‐scale thermal refuges can buffer these thermal constraints, helping insects remain active in cold conditions.

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract This article develops the concept of a territorial business model (TBM) to renew the analysis of the production of the urban built environment beyond established urban cores. Based on the case of Chongli, a site for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, this article provides a double decentering of the ways in which a mountain region was urbanized

Sharing the Same Playground? An Analysis of the Private Sector's Role in Tech Diplomacy
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article takes the emergence of tech diplomacy as the motivation for an investigation into shifting relationships between traditional diplomatic actors and non‐state actors. The observation that ‘new diplomatic actors’ and new diplomatic venues have led to a ‘new kind of diplomacy’ dates back to at least the 1990s.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...
