Digital soil mapping: strategy for data pre-processing
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2012 The region of greatest variability on soil maps is along the edge of their polygons, causing disagreement among pedologists about the appropriate description of soil classes at these locations.

Remote Sensing, 2018 The microtopography associated with ice-wedge polygons governs many aspects of Arctic ecosystem, permafrost, and hydrologic dynamics from local to regional scales owing to the linkages between microtopography and the flow and storage of water, vegetation

Microtopographic control on the ground thermal regime in ice wedge polygons [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The goal of this research is to constrain the influence of ice wedge polygon microtopography on near-surface ground temperatures. Ice wedge polygon microtopography is prone to rapid deformation in a changing climate, and cracking in the ice wedge ...

Scalable exact visualization of isocontours in road networks via minimum-link paths
Journal of Computational Geometry, 2018 Isocontours in road networks represent the area that is reachable from a source within a given resource limit. We study the problem of computing accurate isocontours in realistic, large-scale networks.

Multifocal acceptance score to evaluate vision: MAS-2EV
Scientific Reports, 2021 We present a new metric (Multifocal Acceptance Score, MAS-2EV) to evaluate vision with presbyopic corrections. The MAS-2EV is based on a set of images representing natural visual scenes at day and night conditions projected in far and near displays, and ...

Explicitly modelling microtopography in permafrost landscapes in a land surface model (JULES vn5.4_microtopography) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2022 Microtopography can be a key driver of heterogeneity in the ground thermal and hydrological regime of permafrost landscapes. In turn, this heterogeneity can influence plant communities, methane fluxes, and the initiation of abrupt thaw processes. Here we

High potential for loss of permafrost landforms in a changing climate
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 The presence of ground ice in Arctic soils exerts a major effect on permafrost hydrology and ecology, and factors prominently into geomorphic landform development.

The Mass-Longevity Triangle: Pareto Optimality and the Geometry of Life-History Trait Space. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 When organisms need to perform multiple tasks they face a fundamental tradeoff: no phenotype can be optimal at all tasks. This situation was recently analyzed using Pareto optimality, showing that tradeoffs between tasks lead to phenotypes distributed on
