Marine plastic debris - a new surface for microbial colonization.
Environmental Science and Technology, 2020 Plastics become rapidly colonized by microbes when released into marine environments. This microbial community - the Plastisphere - has recently sparked a multitude of scientific enquiries and generated a breadth of knowledge, which we bring together in ...

Debris Thickness of Glaciers in the Everest Area (Nepal Himalaya) Derived from Satellite Imagery Using a Nonlinear Energy Balance Model [PDF]
, 2014 Debris thickness is an important characteristic of debris-covered glaciers in the Everest region of the Himalayas. The debris thickness controls the melt rates of the glaciers, which has large implications for hydrologic models, the glaciers' response to

Numerical Modeling of Debris Flows Induced by Dam-Break Using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) Method [PDF]
, 2020 Dam-break flows may change into debris flows if certain conditions are satisfied, such as abundant loose material and steep slope. These debris flows are typically characterized by high density and can generate strong impact forces. Due to the complexity

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
, 2011 The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2014 Debris flows are the most frequent and disastrous natural hazards among other exogenic processes at the Black Sea coastal region of the North Caucasus. Numerous debris flow releases are reported every year between Novorossiysk and Krasnaya Polyana.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Supraglacial debris affects glacier mass balance as a thin layer enhances surface melting, while a thick layer reduces it. While many glaciers are debris‐covered, global glacier models do not account for debris because its thickness is unknown.

Development of a Debris Index [PDF]
, 2018 Environmental indices for space objects have been proposed to identify good candidates for active debris removal missions and to deal with the licensing process of space objects before their launch. A way to rank the environmental impact of spacecraft may be based on the assessment of how their fragmentations would affect operational satellites.

Estimation of magnitudes of debris flows in selected torrential watersheds in Slovenia [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper the application of different methods for estimation of magnitudes of rainfall-induced debris flows in 18 torrents in the Upper Sava River valley, NW Slovenia, and in 2 torrents in Pohorje, N Slovenia is described. Additional verification of
