Distribution and UV protection strategies of zooplankton in clear and glacier-fed alpine lakes
Scientific Reports, 2017 Zooplankton, a group of aquatic animals important as trophic link in the food web, are exposed to high levels of UV radiation (UVR) in clear alpine lakes, while in turbid glacier-fed lakes they are more protected.

Interaction of two tributary glacier branches and implications for surge behavior [PDF]
, 2018 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2018A glacier surge is a dynamic phenomenon where the glacier after a long period of quiescence, increases its velocities by up to two orders of magnitude.

Meltwater Intrusions Reveal Mechanisms for Rapid Submarine Melt at a Tidewater Glacier [PDF]
, 2019 Submarine melting has been implicated as a driver of glacier retreat and sea level rise, but to date melting has been difficult to observe and quantify. As a result, melt rates have been estimated from parameterizations that are largely unconstrained by ...

A Scalable, Durable, Fire‐Safe All‐Day Passive Radiative Cooling Coating for Sustainable Buildings
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study reports a scalable, durable coating that combines a fire‑retardant copolymer adhesive, hollow glass microspheres, and boron oxide to achieve passive radiative cooling with over 94% solar reflectance and >95% mid‑infrared emissivity. The coating maintains performance after UV and rain exposure and exhibits UL‑94 V‑0 fire resistance, enabling ...

Using the Photostationary State of Arylazopyrazoles to Control Phase Transitions of Liquid Crystals
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A series of new arylazopyrazole photoswitches is designed as dopants for liquid crystalline materials. Unprecedented, the distribution of photoisomers at the photostationary state upon irradiation with light of specific wavelengths (365, 460, 520 nm) is used to control the liquid crystalline phase transitions under isothermal conditions, including ...

Spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics of typical temperate glaciers in China
Scientific Reports, 2021 China’s temperate glaciers have a relatively warm and humid climate and hydrothermal conditions at low latitudes. Temperate glaciers, however, have larger ablation, higher ice temperatures, relatively fast movement speeds, and a significant sliding ...

Mapping Surface Features of an Alpine Glacier through Multispectral and Thermal Drone Surveys
Remote Sensing, 2023 Glacier surfaces are highly heterogeneous mixtures of ice, snow, light-absorbing impurities and debris material. The spatial and temporal variability of these components affects ice surface characteristics and strongly influences glacier energy and mass ...

Radioglaciological studies on Hurd Peninsula glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2009 We present the results of several radio-echo sounding surveys carried out on Johnsons and Hurd Glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica, between the 1999/2000 and 2004/05 austral summer campaigns, which included both radar profiling and common-midpoint ...

SI‐bioATRP in Mesoporous Silica for Size‐Exclusion Driven Local Polymer Placement
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An enzyme‐catalyzed surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI‐bioATRP) of an anionic monomer within mesoporous silica particles, using hemoglobin as a catalyst, allows for controlling the location of the formed polymer via size‐exclusion effects between the nanopores and the biomacromolecules, thereby opening routes to functional ...
