Evaluation of a stochastically perturbed parametrisations scheme for sea ice in sub‐seasonal forecasts

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Overconfident sea ice forecasts pose a challenge in subseasonal prediction. To test a potential way to address this issue and account for sea ice model uncertainty, this article investigates a stochastically perturbed parametrisations (SPP) scheme for sea ice in a prototype CY49R2 configuration of the coupled IFS‐NEMO4‐SI3 system. The results show that

Snowfall Replenishes Groundwater Loss in the Great Basin of the Western United States, but Cannot Compensate for Increasing Aridification

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
There has been an acceleration of groundwater loss in the Great Basin (GB) of the western U.S. as determined from total water storage (TWS) measurements from the GRACE/FO satellite missions.

Forensic Hydraulic Analysis of Floodplain Connectivity Driven by Historical Beaver Dams in Colorado Headwater Streams

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Reconstructing Long‐Term Historical Hydrologic Alteration to Support Environmental Flows in Texas

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and quantifying hydrologic alteration is essential for effective watershed management and ecological conservation. This study developed a modeling framework to predict reference hydrology and assess and model hydrologic alteration across Texas using publicly available geospatial datasets.

A Functional Flows Framework for the Terminal Great Salt Lake Basin: Can We Have Our Lake and Drink It Too?

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terminal basins provide unique aquatic environments that are often highly sensitive to streamflow contributions, making them a focal point for environmental water management. However, the water needs for terminal lake, wetland, and river ecosystems, and how they relate, remain a fundamental knowledge gap that constrains our ability to ...

Mapping Scytonemin Pigment Content and Biocrust Functional Indicators Using High‐Resolution Multispectral Imagery

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution multispectral imagery combined with machine learning can accurately predict key biocrust functional indicators, particularly the UV‐protective pigment scytonemin, across dryland ecosystems. Using fine‐scale imagery acquired in the Chihuahuan Desert and Colorado Plateau, we identified spectral bands strongly ...

frontiermetrics: An R Package for Characterizing Deforestation Frontiers

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Deforestation frontiers are major drivers of biodiversity loss, carbon emissions, and ecosystem degradation, yet our understanding of how deforestation progresses in these frontiers is limited. We present frontiermetrics, an R package to quantify a range of metrics describing the speed, severity, and spatio‐temporal patterns of forest loss. The package

Remote Sensing‐Based Identification of Habitat Loss for Herbivorous Waterbirds Driven by Wetland Inundation Alterations

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We present a deep learning framework integrating remote sensing and SHAP interpretation to map 22‐year habitat dynamics of herbivorous waterbirds in Dongting Lake. Results show nearly 50% habitat loss, driven primarily by hydrological recession timing rather than static inundation extent.

A Methodological Pathway for Supporting the Transition From Theory to Practice in Action‐Oriented Research for Transformative Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, action‐oriented research has gained prominence in co‐producing actionable knowledge to drive transformative change toward sustainability. However, further methodological developments are needed to support the transition to the application phase of such knowledge.
