Geological remote sensing signatures of terrestrial impact craters [PDF]
Geological remote sensing techniques can be used to investigate structural, depositional, and shock metamorphic effects associated with hypervelocity impact structures, some of which may be linked to global Earth system catastrophies.

Lakes have always held an aesthetic fascination for people; they figure prominently in both art and literature and have even been endowed with spiritual qualities. For example, the nineteenth century American writer Henry D.

During the succession of karst rocky desertification, soil bacterial diversity was directly influenced by both plant functional diversity and soil physicochemical properties. In contrast, soil fungal diversity was directly regulated by soil physicochemical properties and indirectly affected by plant functional diversity via the mediation of soil ...

Odyssey of the Eyes Beginning Level [PDF]
The purpose of this resource is to familiarize students with the importance of perspective and various scales of remotely sensed data. Students create a 3-D model of an area and develop a classification system for the landforms in their model.

Plant species' habitat preference and drought tolerance traits were not the primary factors driving interspecific differences in soil functional responses to drought. Instead, fine root traits—particularly their chemical traits—played more critical roles in determining these variations.

Does Invasive Mammal Exclusion Restore an Ecosystem Function Mediated by Invertebrates?
Excluding invasive mammals is key to protecting native biodiversity, but it is unclear if their removal also restores ecosystem functions, especially those provided by invertebrates, such as decomposition, pollination and herbivory. Fenced ecosanctuaries on mainland New Zealand, which exclude most introduced mammals except mice, offer a unique ...

Topographically complex mountainous regions are critical for biodiversity conservation, supporting high beta diversity, endemic species, and essential ecosystem services. Despite their importance, the fine‐scale effects of topographic metrics such as slope, ruggedness, and solar gain on mammal habitat use remain poorly understood.

Modelling soil erosion and transport in the Burrishoole catchment, Newport, Co. Mayo, Ireland [PDF]
The Burrishoole catchment is situated in County Mayo, on the northwest coast of the Republic of Ireland. Much of the catchment is covered by blanket peat that, in many areas, has become heavily eroded in recent years. This is thought to be due, primarily,

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

We provide a geomorphological analysis of Cordillera Vilcanota and use morphostratigraphic principles to reconstruct palaeo icefield extent and palaeoglacier readvances, likely during the Antarctic Cold Reversal and Younger Dryas. We find evidence of temperate and polythermal ice margins, with limited glaciofluvial landform generation.
