Boreas, EarlyView.Rapid thaw of the Earth's cryosphere in response to anthropogenic warming highlights the need to identify and understand the contrasting signatures of past ice‐sheet stability and collapse. The Kvarken archipelago, western Finland, at the centre of the former Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS), has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Authoring Terrestrial Planets with Diffusion Models
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract To support the design and subsequent generation of terrestrial planets for use in the creative media, we propose a solution that employs a generative model trained on satellite data from planetary bodies with a defined solid surface, such as the Earth and Mars.

An integrated approach to balance freshwater connectivity restoration and invasion risk
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Habitat fragmentation negatively affects many native migratory fish populations. However, this fragmentation can also prevent the spread and establishment of invasive species. We modified the dendritic connectivity index (DCI), a commonly used freshwater connectivity metric, to account for multiple invasive dispersal pathways in estimates of ...

Management strategy evaluation for salmon habitat restoration and hatchery supplementation
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Building on three previously published studies, this paper applies population modeling work to evaluate the effects of different habitat and hatchery management strategies on achieving recovery goals for endangered Chinook salmon. We find that it would require a >150% improvement in juvenile survival to achieve recovery goals for population abundance ...
