Exploring Aerosols near Clouds with High-Spatial-Resolution Aircraft Remote Sensing During SEAC4RS [PDF]

Since aerosols are important to our climate system, we seek to observe the variability of aerosol properties within cloud systems. When applied to the satelliteborne Moderateresolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), the Dark Target retrieval ...

Learner and Teacher Agency

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Agency has emerged as a key topic in language learning and teaching research with significant implications for language learners' L2 development and teachers' professional growth. To delineate the contribution of TESOL Quarterly (TQ) to L2 learner and teacher agency research, we examine 27 articles published in the journal between 1997 and ...

Evaluating the Performance of Satellite-Derived Soil Moisture Products Across South America Using Minimal Ground-Truth Assumptions in Spatiotemporal Statistical Analysis

Remote Sensing
South America (SA) features diverse land cover types and varied climate conditions, both of which significantly influence the variability of soil moisture (SMO).

Uncertainty and Variation of Remotely Sensed Lake Ice Phenology across the Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2018
In the Tibetan Plateau (TP), the changes of lake ice phenology not only reflect regional climate change, but also impose substantial ecohydrological impacts on the local environment.

Autopsy, deathways, and intercultural healthcare in the southern Peruvian Andes Autopsie, pratiques mortuaires et soins de santé interculturels dans le sud des Andes péruviennes

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
While death remains a popular topic for anthropology, relatively few ethnographic accounts consider the modern bureaucratic processes accompanying it. One such process is public health autopsy, which scholars have largely taken for granted. Existing analysis has regarded it as a form of ‘cultural brokering’ and autopsy reluctance in communities is seen,

Triple collocation validates CONUS-wide evapotranspiration inferred from atmospheric conditions [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Large-scale estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) remains challenging because no direct remote sensing estimates of ET exist and because most data-driven estimation approaches require assumptions about the impact of moisture conditions and biogeography ...

PARTY‐STATE URBANISM: Coevolution of Local State Capacity and Strategic Alliances in Shenzhen

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract What is distinct about Chinese urban governance? Classic theories predict that when the central state retreats from resource allocation, capacity‐strained local governments must form alliances with non‐state actors, thereby diluting state power. In China, however, state power remains dominant despite decentralization.

The Coloniality of Data: Police Databases and the Rationalization of Surveillance from Colonial Vietnam to the Modern Carceral State

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally‐assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of ...
