The non‐hydrostatic option of the ECMWF global weather forecast model: Improvements for kilometre‐scale modelling

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study presents improvements to the non‐hydrostatic version of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), enabling stable global simulations at 1.4‐km resolution. A systematic comparison with the hydrostatic version at resolutions from 9 to 1.4 km shows that non‐hydrostatic effects emerge in ...

Estimating water content from hyperspectral measurements for fire risk mapping

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2014
This paper shows the interest of laboratory hyperspectral measurements to estimate fuel moisture content for fire risk assessment. Measurements were obtained for two Mediterranean forest species over a controlled water stress experiment.

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.

Spectral characterization of plant diversity in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
How well can airborne imaging spectroscopy detect plant diversity in vertically complex agroforestry systems? We tested this in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation in Sumatra, Indonesia, using high‐resolution hyperspectral data. We calculated spectral alpha and beta diversity and compared them to field‐based plant diversity.

Improving forest age estimation to understand subtropical forest regrowth dynamics using deep learning image segmentation of time‐series historical aerial photographs

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurately estimating forest age is key to understanding how forests recover and evaluating restoration success. We developed a two‐step deep learning approach using historical greyscale aerial photographs to map forest age at fine spatial scales. By combining a pre‐trained model with localized fine‐tuning, our U‐Net + ResNet50 architecture achieved ...

Urban Heat and Spatial Statistics, Toward Sustainable Cities and Society: A PRISMA‐Based Systematic Review and Empirical Assessment (2020–2025)

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past few decades, the intensification of global warming has brought increased attention to urban thermal dynamics, particularly regarding Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Urban Surface Heat Island (SUHI) effect. This study conducts a systematic literature review alongside a bibliometric analysis of 123 peer‐reviewed articles ...

Effect of Adatom Energy on the Interfacial and Surface Morphology of Pulsed DC Sputtered Ruthenium Thin Films

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the present study, we have analyzed the growth profile of ruthenium (Ru) thin films, deposited using pulsed direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering technique, by varying the sputtering voltages in the range of 150–420 V. The grazing incidence X‐ray reflectivity (GIXRR), time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS), and atomic ...

Annual survival in a dynamic species: pronghorn survival patterns across their northern range

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Quantifying variation in demographic patterns, such as survival and recruitment, is critical for understanding population dynamics and informing evidence‐based and adaptive wildlife management. In this study, we leverage an extensive dataset from over 1000 GPS collared pronghorn Antilocapra americana to provide the first large‐scale evaluation of ...
