Bighorn sheep associations: understanding tradeoffs of sociality and implications for disease transmission [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Sociality directly influences mating success, survival rates, and disease, but ultimately likely evolved for its fitness benefits in a challenging environment.

Acta Herpetologica, 2023 We assessed habitat use and preference with respect to artificial coverboards for the snake community of a restored tallgrass prairie. Coverboards offer herpetofauna protection from predators and space to thermoregulate their body temperature.

GlacierNet2: A Hybrid Multi-Model Learning Architecture for Alpine Glacier Mapping [PDF]
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and
Geoinformation, 2022, 2022 In recent decades, climate change has significantly affected glacier dynamics, resulting in mass loss and an increased risk of glacier-related hazards including supraglacial and proglacial lake development, as well as catastrophic outburst flooding. Rapidly changing conditions dictate the need for continuous and detailed observations and analysis of ...

Simulating surface height and terminus position for marine outlet glaciers using a level set method with data assimilation [PDF]
Journal of Computational Physics, 474:111766, 2023, 2022 We implement a data assimilation framework for integrating ice surface and terminus position observations into a numerical ice-flow model. The model uses the well-known shallow shelf approximation (SSA) coupled to a level set method to capture ice motion and changes in the glacier geometry.

Mass balance of glacier No. 139 in the basin of Lake Karakul in the Eastern Pamirs
Central Asian Journal of Water Research, 2022 Mountain glaciers, including the poorly examined glaciers of Lake Karakul Basin, are considered the most vulnerable part of the cryosphere directly reacting to the changing climatic conditions.
