Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Seasonal variation of transmission line outages in Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
, 2017 Researchers have observed the impact of climate changes on overhead line outages. It is known that overhead lines are very prone to lightning strikes due to their height and location which are normally in an open and exposed area.

Observation of an energetic radiation burst from mountain-top thunderclouds
, 2009 During thunderstorms on 2008 September 20, a simultaneous detection of gamma rays and electrons was made at a mountain observatory in Japan located 2770 m above sea level. Both emissions, lasting 90 seconds, were associated with thunderclouds rather than

Correlative Chemical Imaging to Reveal the Nature of Different Commercial Graphene Materials
Small Methods, EarlyView.Commercial graphene‐based materials from different sources and of varying complexities were investigated correlatively using commonly employed imaging techniques, including SEM, AFM, ToF‐SIMS, AES, and EDS. ToF‐SIMS combined with SEM was identified as the most effective combination for simultaneously resolving the complex morphology and chemical ...
