Distributed acoustic sensing of microseismic sources and wave propagation in glaciated terrain

Nature Communications, 2020
In this study, Walter and colleagues deploy a 1 km long fiber optics cable on a glacier surface. Via the use of distributed acoustic sensing, the authors are capable of monitoring glacier dynamics and Alpine mass movements.

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.

Exploring high-end climate change scenarios for flood protection of the Netherlands [PDF]

, 2009
This international scientific assessment has been carried out at the request of the Dutch Delta Committee. The "Deltacommissie" requested that the assessment explore the high-end climate change scenarios for flood protection of the Netherlands.

Glacier dynamics

, 2016
A model is proposed for the study of general two-dimensional 'polythermal' glacial ice flows. It consists of equations of conservation of mass, momentum and energy together with a constitutive relation between stress and strain rate and a full set of boundary conditions.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Origin and significance of 'dispersed facies' basal ice: Svínafellsjökull, Iceland [PDF]

, 2010
Dispersed facies basal ice - massive (i.e. structureless) ice with dispersed debris aggregates - is present at the margins of many glaciers and, as a product of internal glacial processes, has the potential to provide important information about the ...

Does Climate Risk Affect Employment Decisions? International Evidence

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of climate risk on corporate employment decisions. Using a large sample from 41 countries, we find a positive association between climate risk and underinvestment in labor, notably manifesting as excessive employee layoffs.

Investigating seasonal velocity variations of selected glaciers in high mountain asia

Science of Remote Sensing
Glacier velocity is a sensitive indicator of mass balance and is key to understanding how glaciers respond to climate change. Monitoring glacier velocity at high temporal resolutions enables a better understanding of the drivers of glacier dynamics ...

Biodiversity, community structure and function of biofilms in stream ecosystems [PDF]

, 2015
Multi-species, surface-attached biofilms often dominate microbial life in streams and rivers, where they contribute substantially to biogeochemical processes.

A case study showing the role of hydrophobicity variants and other enriched mAb proteoforms on filterability through a virus filter with productivity improvement measures

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract A rapid assessment of manufacturability for drug candidates is crucial for advancing a prospective biotherapeutic from a candidate to a bulk drug substance. A lot‐to‐lot approach to manufacturability is adopted where each biologic batch is assessed for manufacturability as a bulk, unfractionated pool.
