Flood Risk Communications Through Maps: Challenges, Perception Theories and Approaches
ABSTRACT Flood risk communication is a core component of flood risk management, yet persistent challenges limit its effectiveness in supporting public understanding, preparedness and adaptive behaviour. Here, we examine flood risk maps as communication tools at the interface of scientific modelling, visual design, and human risk perception.

Abstract Soil production, through bedrock weathering, regulates landscape evolution, biogeochemical cycles, and societal sustainability, yet quantifying soil production rates (SPRs) remains difficult due to limited tools. Here, we present a new framework for measuring SPRs based on uranium comminution ages and validate this approach at a deep granitic ...

Controls on ecosystem respiration of carbon dioxide across a boreal wetland gradient in Interior Alaska [PDF]
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2012Permafrost and organic soil layers are common to most wetlands in interior Alaska, where wetlands have functioned as important long-term soil carbon sinks.

Pathways to Zero‐Carbon Energy Systems in Remote Communities of Canada
ABSTRACT Remote community energy systems in Canada are undergoing supply and load technology‐based interventions to support decarbonization efforts. As wind and solar electricity generators are the predominant energy sources, we evaluate zero‐carbon electrification pathways for remote microgrid applications over a long‐term planning horizon.

Abstract Mountain grasslands are vital ecosystems providing critical services such as carbon sequestration, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and human activities. This study evaluates vegetation dynamics in global mountain grasslands (2000–2021) using remote sensing

Abstract The formation of gullies on Mars has often been attributed to the melting of (sub)surface water ice. However, melting‐based hypotheses generally overlook key processes: (a) sublimation cooling by latent heat absorption, (b) the non‐stability of ice where melting conditions can be reached, and (c) the particular microclimates of gullied slopes.
