Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

Graminoids Increase Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Thawed Permafrost at the End of the Growing Season. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Field study investigating whether and to which degree graminoids further reduce soil redox and lead to more greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost soil on top of hydrology and anoxia effects. Graminoids, thus, contribute to thawed permafrost soils turning to C sources rather than sinks toward the end of the growing season.

Rock glaciers in the Suntar‑Khayata Range

Лëд и снег, 2016
The remote map‑making technique and results of field investigations made possible for the first time to reveal a great number of rock glaciers within the area of the Suntar‑Khayata Range (North‑East Asia). A total of 540 formations were identified. Among

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Onshore Thermokarst Primes Subsea Permafrost Degradation

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
The response of permafrost to marine submergence can vary between ice‐rich late Pleistocene deposits and the thermokarst basins that thawed out during the Holocene. We hypothesize that inundated Alases offshore thaw faster than submerged Yedoma.

Monitoring Ground Surface Deformation of Ice-Wedge Polygon Areas in Saskylakh, NW Yakutia, Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Google Earth Engine (GEE)

Remote Sensing, 2023
As one of the best indicators of the periglacial environment, ice-wedge polygons (IWPs) are important for arctic landscapes, hydrology, engineering, and ecosystems.

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

A twofold development and demise of pine stands in the Netherlands during the Allerød interstadial: two hypotheses to explain a link to climate change recorded in Greenland ice

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The second half of the Allerød interstadial in the Netherlands is characterised by pine forest. Excavated trunks of 165 pine trees at Leusden‐Den Treek in the central Netherlands (LETR16) were dated by dendrochronology and radiocarbon. Two chronologically separated pine forest phases occurred during relatively warm periods as recorded in ...

Multi‐Scale Drivers of Food‐Water‐Energy Related Ecosystem Services in the Context of Land Degradation: Insights From the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei Agglomeration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation poses significant challenges to maintaining food–water–energy (FWE) security, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. The ecosystem services (ES) related to FWE are critical for sustainable regional development. Yet, rapid urbanization in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region has altered land use and ecological patterns ...

Retrogressive Thaw Slumps Produce a Changing Disturbance Regime for Arctic Stream Invertebrates. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Climate change is causing permafrost to thaw, resulting in the formation of large craters in the ground called thaw slumps, which deposit sediments and nutrients into rivers and continually impact stream ecosystems over time. We returned to slump impacted streams 10 years after an initial sample period and found that slumps permanently change streams ...
