Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 24, 28 December 2023., 2023 Abstract Constraining the lithospheric rheology of Tibetan Plateau is important for the physical understanding of its tectonics. Siling Co, the largest high‐altitude lake in the world, has experienced a rapid water level increase in the 2000s. The resulting loading changes stimulate the viscoelastic response of the lower crust, giving access to study ...

An Unsupervised Machine‐Learning Approach to Understanding Seismicity at an Alpine Glacier
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract It is critical to understand the dynamic conditions of Earth's cryosphere, yet the subglacial and englacial environments that control many aspects of ice behavior are inherently difficult to observe. The study of seismicity in glaciers and ice sheets has provided valuable insights about the cryosphere for decades, more recently aided by tools ...

Viewpoint: Irrigation water management in a space age
Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 71, Issue S1, Page 39-50, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Climate change and rapid population growth are already putting increasing demand and pressure on the world's freshwater resources. Irrigated agriculture is responsible for about 70% of global freshwater withdrawals, consuming the most amount of water.

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 71, Issue S1, Page 155-168, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Investments to rehabilitate irrigation infrastructure aim to enhance climate resilience and improve farmers' livelihoods in the face of hydrological risks. Studies seeking to assess the impacts from investments in irrigation primarily focus on yield and income‐related poverty measures.

Ordinal patterns in long‐range dependent time series
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 969-1000, September 2021., 2021 Abstract We analyze the ordinal structure of long‐range dependent time series. To this end, we use so called ordinal patterns which describe the relative position of consecutive data points. We provide two estimators for the probabilities of ordinal patterns and prove limit theorems in different settings, namely stationarity and (less restrictive ...

Operational and emerging capabilities for surface water flood forecasting
WIREs Water, Volume 8, Issue 3, May/June 2021., 2021 Recent improvements in forecasting intense rainfall mean it is now possible to forecast surface water flooding. However, operational practices need to adapt to deal with short lead times and high uncertainty in decision‐making. Abstract Surface water (or pluvial) flooding is caused by intense rainfall before it enters rivers or drainage systems. As the

Why productive lakes are larger mercury sedimentary sinks than oligotrophic brown water lakes
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 1316-1332, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Mercury accumulation in lake sediments is a widespread environmental problem due to the biomagnification of Hg in the aquatic food chain. Soil Hg concentrations, catchment vegetation, erosion, and lake productivity are major factors controlling the accumulation of Hg in lakes.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 755-765, April 2021., 2021 Encouraging natural regeneration is increasingly seen as a cost‐effective way to deliver forest landscape restoration. Our data suggest that increasing the abundance of young secondary forest in the tropics, by increasing fallow lengths in the shifting cultivation cycle, could make a positive contribution to locally important hydrological ecosystem ...

Geoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 314-334, March/April 2021., 2021 Abstract Research suggests that the World Heritage rock engravings in Alta, Northern Norway, were made along the seashore over a period of 5000 years. The postglacial rebound and consequent land uplift have caused a continuous displacement of the shoreline, now situating the earliest rock art panels up to 26 m above sea level.
