Synoptic and large‐scale drivers of extreme precipitation events in the Himalayas

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Months associated with maximum frequency of extreme precipitation events (EPEs). 6102 extreme precipitation days (i.e., exceeding 99th percentile for daily precipitation) occurred across the Karakoram, Western Himalayas (WH), Central Himalayas (CH) and Eastern Himalayas (EH) during 1979 to 2023.

Forensic Hydraulic Analysis of Floodplain Connectivity Driven by Historical Beaver Dams in Colorado Headwater Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Combining Oral Histories and Participatory Mapping With Veteran Fishers to Identify Long‐Term Environmental Change in a Nationally Significant River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection and monitoring of environmental change is vital for sustainable river management, but historical data are often limited. This study leveraged volunteered geographic information and local ecological knowledge from experienced recreational anglers to identify historical baselines and long‐term change in the Rakaia River, a ...

The Application of Autonomous Fixed‐Wing Drones in the Sub‐Antarctic Operating Beyond Visual Line of Sight to Enable Large Area, Multi‐Species Population Monitoring in a Changing Environment

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Autonomous fixed‐wing drones operating beyond visual line of sight of the pilot were used to conduct the first aerial, multi‐species baseline reference survey at the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia. Long‐term population monitoring in this remote, challenging environment has historically proved difficult, with terrestrial monitoring generally ...

Equity in Energy—A Critical Analysis of GESI and Energy Justice Narratives in Energy Transition

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global energy sector is transitioning from conventional energy sources to cleaner and more sustainable alternatives; however, persistent structural and social barriers continue to undermine equity and inclusivity within this transition. This study examines how Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) and Energy Justice (EJ) principles ...

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...
