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.

Geometry and drainage of a retreating glacier overlying and recharging a karst aquifer, Tsanfleuron-Sanetsch, Swiss Alps

Acta Carsologica, 2010
Alpine glaciers store large amounts of freshwater contributing to groundwater recharge during warmer periods, but the inter­actions between glaciers and aquifers have rarely been inves­tigated in detail.

Rapid Access to Photoswitchable RNA Binders: Fluorination Enhances Protein Rescue by Exon Inclusion

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
An adaptable approach, many light‐switchable RNA binders. We report a versatile strategy for rapidly synthesizing photoswitchable RNA binders. The ligands can target SMN2 pre‐mRNA, restoring the levels of the corresponding protein by exon‐inclusion rescue.

Using PlanetScope-derived time-series elevation models and orthophotos to track glacier 3D dynamics in mid-latitude mountain regions

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Assessing glacier surface height changes provides crucial insights into glacier mass loss and the impact of climate variability. Remote sensing images play a vital role in providing data points for monitoring.

Clathrate hydrate crystallization

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Clathrate hydrate crystallization has been an area of interest to chemical engineers from the point of view of crystal structure, thermophysical properties, phase equilibria, kinetics, industrial applications, and environmental (climate change) implications.

Diverse landscapes beneath Pine Island Glacier influence ice flow

Nature Communications, 2017
Projecting the future retreat and thus global sea level contributions of Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier is hampered by a poor grasp of what controls flow at the ice base.

Expression, Purification, and Microscopy‐Based Assays for Engineered Recombinant Tyrosinated, Detyrosinated, and Δ2 Human Tubulin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules are noncovalent polymers assembled from α/β tubulin dimers. Their structure, dynamics and interaction with effectors are regulated through the expression of diverse tubulin isotypes and chemically diverse posttranslational modifications, also known as the “tubulin code.” Understanding the biophysical correlates between tubulin ...

Reconstructing Glacier Surge Kinematics Using a Numerical Ice‐Flow Model Applied to the Dusty Glacier, St. Elias Mountains, Canada

Geophysical Research Letters
Long‐term records of the flow patterns and dynamics of surge‐type glaciers improve our understanding of their underlying dynamic processes, and are critical to better resolve their contribution to a changing cryosphere.

Recent Advances in Prussian Blue Analogs as Capacitive Deionization Electrode Materials: Fundamentals, Structure–Performance Relationships, and Design Strategies

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines the fundamental ion‐storage mechanisms, the structural chemistry, and redox behavior of Prussian blue analogs as Faradaic electrodes in capacitive deionization, their intrinsic limitations and engineering optimization strategies, and the critical materials‐to‐device considerations required to advance PBA‐based CDI ...

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop
