A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]

, 2011
The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

36-Year Surge Behaviors of the Sortebræ Glacier Complex in East Greenland, Revealed by Multisource Satellite Images

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Monitoring the behavior of surge-type glaciers is important for our understanding of glacier dynamics. However, in central East Greenland, one of the two clusters of surge-type glaciers in Greenland, only a few studies recorded the detailed surge ...

A nanoplatform that induces dual‐amino acid deprivation to reverse tumor immunosuppression and enhance metabolic immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
ZIF‐8‐based nanoparticles co‐delivering CB‐839 (glutaminase inhibitor) and 1‐MT (IDO1 inhibitor), dual‐targeting glutamine/tryptophan metabolism to induce immunogenic cell death, activate STING, block kynurenine production, reverse immunosuppression, and enhance cancer immunotherapy to suppress primary/distant tumors.

Brief Communication: On the magnitude and frequency of Khurdopin glacier surge events [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2014
The return periods of Karakoram glacier surges are poorly quantified. Here, we present evidence of an historic surge of the Khurdopin Glacier that began in the mid-1970s and peaked in 1979.

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.

Topography and accumulation rate as controls of asynchronous surging behaviour in the eastern and western branches of the Western Kunlun Glacier, Northwestern Tibetan Plateau

International Journal of Digital Earth
The western Kunlun main peak region is among the areas in High Mountain Asia where surge-type glaciers are highly concentrated. Here, we analyse the surging characteristics of the eastern and western branches of the Western Kunlun Glacier and the factors

Securing Water in a Changing Climate: A Transient Solar Desalination Model for the Sundarbans, Bangladesh

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents a solar‐powered reverse osmosis (RO) system for the Sundarbans, Bangladesh. Mechanistic modeling reveals a critical seasonal mismatch: during the monsoon, feed water salinity peaks (24.8 ppt) while solar irradiance drops significantly.

Air temperature distribution and energy balance modelling of a debris-covered glacier [PDF]

, 2016
Near-surface air temperature is an important determinant of the surface energy balance of glaciers that is often represented by constant linear temperature gradients in models.

Glacier surges on James Ross Island, Antarctica, and their relationship with climate [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Although the Antarctic Peninsula has a similar climate to that of other regions hosting surge-type glaciers, only one glacier surge has been previously observed in this region.

Hematological and Genotoxic Effects of Subchronic Oral Exposure to a Mancozeb‐Based Fungicide in Female Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The extensive use of pesticides in modern agriculture has raised increasing concerns regarding the potential biological effects of repeated exposure to pesticide residues and commercial formulations. Mancozeb is a widely used ethylene‐bis‐dithiocarbamate fungicide; however, information on its hematological and genotoxic effects following ...
