Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

A Metric for Quantifying Spatial Heterogeneity in Gridded Atmospheric Fields
Abstract Spatial heterogeneity influences many nonlinear atmospheric processes but it is often described qualitatively or with simple statistical measures that do not capture spatial organization. We introduce a mixing‐oriented metric for gridded fields based on the expected deviation of subdomain means from the global average.

Characterization of Municipal Water Uses in Urban Areas Across the Contiguous United States
Abstract An improved understanding of municipal water demand is essential for transitioning toward sustainable urban water management. This study develops a municipal water demand model by utilizing the Integrated Urban Water Model (IUWM), aimed at estimating and analyzing urban water use patterns across urban areas rather than conventional county ...

Abstract Climate change and human activities jointly affect runoff generation and non‐point source pollutant transport in river basins. Quantifying their relative roles is essential for explaining pollutant‐load changes and informing water resources management. Here, this study developed an integrated framework combining Budyko runoff attribution, Soil

Snow What? Strengths and Limitations of Different Snow Products in Western U.S. Mountains
Abstract Reported values of average annual peak snow water equivalent (SWE) in the mountains of the western United States differ by more than a factor of five, from not enough water to fill Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the region, to enough water to fill Lake Mead five times. These products are not created equal.

Evaluating Fragmentation Detection in Block Caves Using Synthetic Muon Tomography
ABSTRACT Muon tomography is a geophysical imaging technique with growing application across a range of geological and industrial settings. By observing the arrival of naturally occurring muons, it is possible to reconstruct subsurface density distributions in three dimensions.

Universities as the Next Counterintelligence Battleground in Geopolitical Contests
ABSTRACT Globally, universities are increasingly becoming the target of foreign national security actors, engaging in espionage, sabotage, foreign interference and intellectual property theft. Despite that, there has been no examination of the utilisation of counterintelligence approaches by universities to the threats they face from the subordination ...

Kriging is one of the most frequently used prediction methods in spatial data analysis. This paper examines which steps of the underlying algorithms can be performed in parallel on a PVM cluster. It will be shown, that some properties of the so called

ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the spread of invasive species, yet their accuracy over time and the influence of climate data resolution remain unclear. Here, we examine the capacity of SDMs to predict the distribution and short‐term expansion of the invasive gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus, and compare the ...
