Föhn winds on South Georgia and their impacts on regional climate

, 2015
Average summer temperatures over South Georgia have risen by 1°C along with an increase in the rate of glacial retreat since the 1920s. Glaciers on the northeast of the island are retreating faster than those on the southwest side.

Routine multiplex mutational profiling of melanomas enables enrollment in genotype-driven therapeutic trials. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Knowledge of tumor mutation status is becoming increasingly important for the treatment of cancer, as mutation-specific inhibitors are being developed for clinical use that target only sub-populations of patients with particular tumor genotypes. Melanoma

Mineralogy of Soil‐Free Bare Crusts on Native Dryland Plant Habitats in Mackenzie Basin, South Island, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Late Cenozoic silty and sandy sediments in the semi‐arid Mackenzie basin have been eroded and redeposited almost entirely from nearby Mesozoic greywacke basement. Fine (commonly micron scale) phyllosilicate flakes, including clays, are randomly distributed and randomly oriented, and the sediments are porous.

Tree line dynamics and forest densification in the European Alps revealed by Landsat images and machine learning: a case study in the Senales/Schnals Valley [PDF]

Vegetation Ecology and Diversity
The alpine tree line represents one of the most climate-sensitive ecological boundaries, where multiple interacting factors determine vegetation distribution at its upper limit. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of the tree line in the

Ozone Production by Electron Irradiation of Regolith Ice: Laboratory Study for the Icy Moons

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We irradiate fine‐grained regolith pure water ice in ultra high vacuum with 5keV $5\,\text{keV}$ and 10keV $10\,\text{keV}$ electrons to study the radiolysis of water ice. The ice regolith is designed to closely mimic the physical characteristics of the surfaces of the icy moons of the Solar System.

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Spatiotemporal variability of turbulent fluxes in snow-covered mountain terrain

Frontiers in Earth Science
Turbulent exchange of heat and moisture plays an important role in snow cover dynamics. Although these processes are subject to great spatial and temporal variability, especially in complex terrain, measurements of heat, moisture, and momentum fluxes are

Modeling Crack Arrest in Snow Slab Avalanches—Toward Estimating Avalanche Release Sizes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Dry‐snow slab avalanches are the most fatal type of avalanches, beginning with the failure of a weak snow layer below cohesive slabs. This failure can propagate within the weak layer, causing the overlying slab to fracture and slide. Avalanche forecasters are interested in evaluating crack propagation propensity and potential avalanche sizes ...

Environmental evolution of cover deposits on chemically distinctive bare ground, New Zealand: review and temporal contexts

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1120-1152, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Chemically distinctive features such as high salinity, low nutrient contents, and extremes of pH can limit the development of a vegetation cover on soil‐free bare ground. This study synthesises our previous work on the geoecology of numerous chemically distinctive bare sites in the South Island and adds a temporal component within the last ...
