Futures of Everyday Life: A Qualitative Content Analysis of Future Personas in Scenarios
ABSTRACT Scenario reports, holding a long‐standing tradition in foresight and futures studies, act as an essential document for organizations to prepare for possible, plausible, and alternative futures. Focusing on descriptions and representations of everyday life, we examined 29 future persona narratives from six publications—covering a wide field ...

ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

Leaf Shedding During Drought Reduces Hydraulic Stress in Trees
Abstract Leaf area has long been a proxy for ecosystem function. However, it can be highly variable even in the same forest types across space and time due to variations in local ecohydrology and climatic extremes such as droughts and heatwaves. Leaf shedding in response to drought has been documented at site‐scales, theoretically to avoid hydraulic ...

Defining Scales of Field Studies and Experiments to Assess Marine Cloud Brightening
Abstract Solar radiation modification (SRM) is being discussed as a potential option for addressing climate risks while atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are reduced to lower levels. However, understanding of the potential efficacy, impacts, benefits and harms of different SRM approaches remains limited.

Rates of Sea‐Level Rise Are Highly Sensitive to Ice Viscosity Parameters in Model Benchmarks
Abstract Glacier flow plays a major role in current and future rates of globally averaged sea‐level rise. The viscosity of glacial ice, controlling the rate of flow, decreases as stress increases and is highly sensitive to the value of the stress exponent, n $n$, in the constitutive equation for viscous flow.

Abstract Surface meltwater impacts Greenland Ice Sheet mass balance indirectly by reducing albedo and promoting hydrofracture. However, fully understanding both processes requires accurate mapping of small‐scale features such as ponds, channels, and moulins that govern meltwater formation and drainage. Here we investigate surface water dynamics at high

Universal Time Influence on Stormtime Magnetosphere Ionosphere Coupling
Abstract The offset between Earth's magnetic and rotational axes introduces a diurnal dependence in the high‐latitude EUV exposure of the northern hemisphere (NH) and southern hemisphere (SH). This variation raises the question: Does the Universal Time (UT) of geomagnetic storm onset impact its geospace consequences?

Hierarchical Testing of a Hybrid Machine Learning‐Physics Global Atmosphere Model
Abstract Machine learning (ML)‐based models have demonstrated high skill and computational efficiency, often outperforming conventional physics‐based models in weather and subseasonal predictions. While prior studies have assessed their fidelity in capturing synoptic‐scale atmospheric dynamics, their performance across timescales and under out‐of ...
