The impact of Arctic sea‐ice loss on winter weather in the British Isles

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Arctic sea‐ice loss shifts the North Atlantic jet and storm track equatorward, and results in a more negative North Atlantic Oscillation and more positive East Atlantic and Scandinavian patterns. Strong extratropical cyclones weaken and become less frequent for the British Isles, but there is model disagreement for precipitation, surface winds, and ...

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Source analysis of nitrate pollution in a typical tributary of the upper Yellow River using a combined approach of stable isotopes and DOM fluorescence characteristics

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying the sources and characteristics of water pollution is essential for the protection and management of water environments. Nitrate (NO3−) is a key pollutant affecting water quality in the Qingshui River, a typical semi‐arid tributary in the upper Yellow River basin.

Seasonal dynamics and environmental drivers of dissolved organic matter distribution in heterogeneous river terrains

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in rivers plays a key role in the global carbon cycle and aquatic ecosystems, yet its spatiotemporal dynamics across complex terrains remains inadequately characterized. To address this gap, we conducted seasonal sampling along the Luan River and examined how DOM composition varies over space and time in response

Deep-Sea Biofilms, Historic Shipwreck Preservation and the Deepwater Horizon Spill

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Exposure to oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill may have lasting impacts on preservation of historic shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico. Submerged steel structures, including shipwrecks, serve as artificial reefs and become hotspots of biodiversity in the

Heat stress in tropical highland regions: the case of Kenya during February 2024

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
Understanding and awareness about heat stress remain low in sub‐Saharan countries despite high exposure and vulnerability. After the national media in Kenya reported that people had complained about unusual heat stress during February 2024, we combine in situ and reanalysis data to (i) put this event into climatological perspective, and (ii) give ...
