A longer vernal window: The role of winter coldness and snowpack in driving spring thresholds and lags [PDF]

, 2017
Climate change is altering the timing and duration of the vernal window, a period that marks the end of winter and the start of the growing season when rapid transitions in ecosystem energy, water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics take place.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Snow season variability in a boreal-Arctic transition area monitored by MODIS data

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
The duration and extent of snow cover is expected to change rapidly with climate change. Therefore, there is a need for improved monitoring of snow for the benefit of forecasting, impact assessments and the population at large. Remotely sensed techniques

A Ten-Year Record of Supraglacial Lake Evolution and Rapid Drainage in West Greenland Using an Automated Processing Algorithm for Multispectral Imagery [PDF]

, 2013
The rapid drainage of supraglacial lakes introduces large pulses of meltwater to the subglacial environment and creates moulins, surface-to-bed conduits for future melt.

Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Decadal climate variability and increasing exposure of Chilean agriculture

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Central Chile has undergone a steady shift from traditional annual crops to fruit orchards and vineyards, and a decline in the area dedicated to annual crops. This transition coincides with a decrease in precipitation and an increase in temperature.

Snow Cover Change as a Climate Indicator in Brunswick Peninsula, Patagonia

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Snow cover changes are assessed for the Brunswick Peninsula in southern Patagonia (52.9°S to 53.5°S), located on the transition between the wet Pacific Ocean area and the drier leeward side of the Andes. We use the Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI)
