Volcanic Diffuse Volatile Emissions Tracked by Plant Responses Detectable From Space
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Volcanic volatile emissions provide information about volcanic unrest but are difficult to detect with satellites. Volcanic degassing affects plants by elevating local CO2 and H2O concentrations, which may increase photosynthesis.

Viscous fingering and dendritic growth under an elastic membrane [PDF]
, 2016 We investigate the viscous fingering instability that arises when air is injected from the end of an oil-filled, compliant channel. We show that induced axial and transverse depth gradients foster novel pattern formation. Moreover, the steady propagation
