An adaptive finite volume solver for ice sheets and glaciers [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2010 We have developed a new adaptive finite volume scheme for numerical simulations of ice sheets and glaciers. The mathematical basis of the adaptive solver is represented by the finite volume method and irregular Voronoi cell grids. Evaluation of spatial derivatives are obtained at cell edges from approximating the ice surface elevation locally by second‐

Longbasaba Glacier recession and contribution to its proglacial lake volume between 1988 and 2018
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 During the last few decades, the lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalaya have receded faster than the land-terminating glaciers as proglacial lakes have exacerbated the mass loss of their host glaciers.

Limited Contribution of Glacier Mass Loss to the Recent Increase in Tibetan Plateau Lake Volume
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The Tibetan plateau plays an essential role in the water supply to Asia’s large river systems and, as the largest and highest mountain plateau in the world, it drives the Asian monsoon and influences global atmospheric circulation patterns.

Limited impact of climate forcing products on future glacier evolution in Scandinavia and Iceland
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Due to climate change, worldwide glaciers are rapidly declining. The trend will continue into the future, with consequences for sea level, water availability and tourism.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.
