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 ...

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.

Ocean forcing drives glacier retreat in Greenland
Science Advances, 2021 Many Greenland glaciers have been attacked by the ocean from below and, in turn, contributed to sea-level rise from the ice sheet. The retreat and acceleration of Greenland glaciers since the mid-1990s have been attributed to the enhanced intrusion 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.

Atmosphere, 2020 The Badain Jaran Desert (BJD) is characterized by the coexistence of over 110 perennial lakes and thousands of megadunes in its southeast part. Unlike the cold island effect, we found a special phenomenon of the warm island effect in the lake group ...

Remote Sensing, 2021 Mega-dunes in the lake group area of the Badain Jaran Sand Sea, China, are generally taller than dunes in the non-lake group area. This spatial distribution of dune heights may provide a new perspective on the controversy regarding the dunes’ formation ...

Large-eddy Simulations of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer over an Alpine Glacier: Impact of Synoptic Flow Direction and Governing Processes [PDF]
, 2021 The mass balance of mountain glaciers is of interest for several applications (local hydrology or climate projections), and turbulent fluxes can be an important contributor to glacier surface mass balance during strong melting events. The underlying complex terrain leads to spatial heterogeneity and non-stationarity of turbulent fluxes.
