Muon tomography for melting glaciers monitoring
This thesis presents the development of an innovative detector for muography, aimed at monitoring glacier melting. The process of glacier melting is not completely understood and is considered a crucial parameter in view of the global warming. Muography is a widely used technique, that takes advantages of the muon flux reaching Earth surface, employed ...

Evaluating commonly used tools to quantify human activity for protected area management
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Recreation in protected areas (PAs) is growing worldwide, potentially conflicting with wildlife and ecosystem protection. Efficiently estimating human activity in PAs is crucial for balancing a dual mandate of supporting visitor access and biodiversity, but managers lack clear recommendations about the conditions under which specific tools are

Geographic Variation of Cirques on Iceland: Factors Influencing Cirque Morphology
, 2017 Cirques are one of the most common glacial landforms in alpine settings. They also provide important paleoclimate information (e.g. Meierding 1984; Evans 2006). The purpose of this study is to fill in gaps in the climate record of Iceland by conducting a

Permafrost Distribution in the Canadian Rockies: Key Variables Influencing Patch‐Scale Variability
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of permafrost in mountainous regions is influenced by various factors such as topography, climate, vegetation, and substrate. Despite the existence of comprehensive permafrost maps at national and global levels, they fail to accurately represent the patch‐scale (e.g., < 25 m) permafrost distribution in characteristic ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using a large and novel array of instruments on five rockwalls in northern Gaspesia, their respective surface energy balances were calculated and their thermal regimes were measured and modeled to depths exceeding the seasonal frost penetration.

Satellites: New global observing techniques for ice and snow [PDF]
The relation of aereal extent of snow cover to the average monthly runoff in a given watershed was investigated by comparing runoff records with a series of snowcover maps.

Animating blossom: Time‐lapse to encourage plant awareness in the YouTube era
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Time‐lapse videos can effectively capture key traits of flower blossoms, such as color, 3D structure, and temporal changes, making them valuable complements to herbarium specimens and other botanical collections. Despite the abundance of such videos on YouTube, most provide no ecological and botanical insights.
