Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.

Rock glaciers and mountain hydrology: A review
Earth-Science Reviews, 2019 Abstract In mountainous regions, climate change threatens cryospheric water resources, and understanding all components of the hydrological cycle is necessary for effective water resource management. Rock glaciers are climatically more resilient than glaciers and contain potentially hydrologically valuable ice volumes, and yet have received less ...

Iowa Population Exposures to Metals and Metalloids in Well Water
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Previous Iowa studies suggest low levels and chronic arsenic exposures are associated with prostate cancer. The rural Iowa population heavily relies on private wells for drinking water resources and thus is vulnerable to contaminants such as heavy metals found in well water.

Modeling glacio-hydrological processes in the Himalayas: A review and future perspectives
Geography and SustainabilityThe Himalayas and their surrounding areas boast vast glaciers rivaling those in polar regions, supplying vital meltwater to the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra rivers, supporting over a billion downstream inhabitants for drinking, power, and agriculture ...

Use of regional climate model simulations as input for hydrological models for the Hindukush-Karakorum-Himalaya region [PDF]
, 2008 The most important climatological inputs required for the calibration and validation of hydrological models are temperature and precipitation that can be derived from observational records or alternatively from regional climate models (RCMs).

Insect Science, EarlyView.The Moorland Clouded Yellow (Colias palaeno) benefited from cattle grazing in three different ways by (i) fostering the nectar supply; (ii) enhancing rejuvenation of the host plant (Vaccinium uliginosum); and (iii) improving microclimatic conditions for successful development of the immature stages.

Boreas, EarlyView.We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

Boreas, EarlyView.Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

Boreas, EarlyView.Effective and sustainable land use, conservation, and the use of geological resources (incl. raw materials, aggregates and groundwater) require a clear classification system of sedimentary units, with well‐defined vocabulary and unified mapping practices.
