The formation of glacier dirt cones
Glacier dirt cones are meter-scale cones of ice covered with sediment and rock. The cones develop through a process known as differential melt, whereby ice underlying thick debris melts more slowly than bare ice.

Abstract Soils of managed boreal forests are a significant carbon (C) reservoir, and maintaining or increasing their ability to store C could play an important role for climate change mitigation. We investigated the effects of forest logging through clearcut and partial cut compared to forest conservation on total soil C stocks, particulate organic ...

Effects of thyroxine (T) and nano‐melatonin (NM) supplementation on cryopreserved Simmental bull semen were evaluated. The combination of thyroxine (0.5 µg/dL) and nano‐melatonin (30 µg/dL) significantly improved post‐thaw sperm motility, membrane integrity, antioxidant status, and fertility while reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis. These findings

Widespread On‐Fault Geologic Evidence for Variable Mode Coseismic Slip to the Trench in Cascadia
Abstract Investigating the geologic record of near‐trench coseismic strain release is critical for estimating the slip distribution and tsunamigenic potential of future large subduction zone earthquakes. However, the style and extent of upper plate coseismic deformation offshore in subduction zones is poorly constrained.

Abstract On its way south to the North Atlantic Ocean, Arctic water of both Atlantic and Pacific origin is modified by sea ice and glacial melt, meteoric water (MW), and continental shelves. In the eastern Canadian Arctic, this modification occurs during transit through Nares Strait, Jones Sound, Barrow Strait, Lancaster Sound, and southward through ...

Drivers of Ocean pH Variation in Front of Dotson Ice Shelf, West Antarctica
Abstract The highly productive Amundsen Sea Polynya in West Antarctica is bounded in the south by rapidly‐melting ice shelves, including the Dotson Ice Shelf (DIS). We present a high‐resolution, full‐depth pH data set within 10 km of DIS using a Lab‐On‐Chip (LOC) spectrophotometric pH sensor on an ocean glider.

Abstract Open bedrock fractures are common features in unstable rock slopes and alter subsurface thermal conditions of fractured rock masses through convective air ventilation and atmospheric exchange. These processes are particularly relevant in cold mountain environments, where variations in ground temperature affect rock mass stability and may allow

ABSTRACT As a major commercial legume crop, soybean ranks among the world's most significant sources of edible oil and plant protein. We previously identified a SEIPIN homologue (FA9) at the fatty acid 9 locus that promotes fatty acid accumulation in soybean.

Oviductal smooth muscle contractions are important for preimplantation embryo transport under the regulation of steroid hormone signaling. Deletion of serum response factor (Srf) in progesterone receptor (Pgr)‐expressing cells leads to differential expression of 1670 genes in the mouse oviduct, 306 of which are directly bound by SRF.
