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.

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 ...

Modelling glacier hydrology in West Greenland
Rapport Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse, 1981 There is great interest in the possibility of using runoff in West Greenland for the generation of hydroelectric power. However, there is still very little information about hydrological conditions in the country. For example, measurements of runoff and glacier mass balance were only started at a few sites in the late 1970s by the GTO and GGU ...

Tropical climate and glacier hydrology: a case study in Bolivia
Journal of Hydrology, 1995 Runoff from intertropical glaciers is highly variable, indicating that they are greatly affected by climatic changes peculiar to tropical climates. The 3 km2 basin presented in this case study lies in the Cordillera Real of Bolivia and is 77% covered by glacier ice, ranging in elevation from 6000 to 4830 m a.s.l.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.This article presents a synthesis of recent developments in the study of human evolution over the past five years. It begins with an overview of hominin species nomenclature and diversity, followed by an examination of the proposed population bottleneck ∼900,000 years ago.

Downwasting and supraglacial lake evolution on the debris-covered Ngozumpa Glacier, Khumbu Himal, Nepal [PDF]
, 2015 In recent decades, the downwasting of several debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya has led to the formation of large and potentially hazardous moraine- dammed lakes.

RESPONSE OF CANADIAN ROCKIES GLACIER HYDROLOGY TO CHANGING CLIMATE [PDF]
, 2020 This thesis investigates the impact of snow and glaciers in mountain hydrology under changing climate conditions and glacier configurations in the Canadian Rockies, where a warming climate and glacier retreat cause concern about changes in mountain ...

The consequences of elevated CO² and land use in alpine ecosystems [PDF]
, 2014 The consequences of elevated CO2 and land use in alpine ecosystems This PhD thesis addresses two main aspects of Global Change and their impacts on alpine vegetation and eco-hydrology, (1) the steadily increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere

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.
