Applying computer vision to accelerate monitoring and analysis of bird incubation behaviors: a case study using common eider nest camera footage

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Visualization of the pipeline is divided into two primary segments: automated (i.e., the user adapts the code directly to build a custom computer vision model) and human‐in‐the‐loop (i.e., the user manually evaluates the output of the model). In step 1, raw imagery data are selected for training and testing datasets; ideally, these datasets are ...

Brief communication: Testing a portable Bullard-type temperature lance confirms highly spatially heterogeneous sediment temperatures under shallow bodies of water in the Arctic [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
The thermal regime in the sediment column below shallow bodies of water in Arctic permafrost controls benthic habitats and permafrost stability. We present a robust, portable device that measures detailed temperature–depth profiles of the near-surface ...

Freeze, thaw, fracture? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Why does freezing break up rock? Everybody knows that when water freezes it expands by nine percent to be precise. If it seeps into rocks and then freezes, the rocks can fracture and split apart, a process known as frost weathering.

Investigating boreal forest successional stages in Alaska and Northwest Canada using UAV‐LiDAR and RGB and a community detection network

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel application of UAV‐LiDAR and Red Green Blue (RGB) data and network analysis to enhance our understanding of boreal forest succession. The results indicate that tree height and spectral variables are the most influential predictors of plant functional type in random forest algorithms, and high overall accuracies were attained.

Stable isotopes of 18O and D in key components of water flows and the permafrost zone of Central Yakutia (Eastern Siberia)

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2019
On the basis of about 430 analyses, the 18O and D compositions (%o) of atmospheric precipitation, ground ice, surface and inter-permafrost underground waters of cryogenic-aeolian landscapes of Central Yakutia (Eastern Siberia) are discussed ...

Policy implications of warming permafrost [PDF]

open access: yes
Permafrost is perennially frozen ground occurring in about 24% of the exposed land surface in the Northern Hemisphere. The distribution of permafrost is controlled by air temperature and, to a lesser extent, by snow depth, vegetation, orientation to ...

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Transformative Pathways for Strengthening Climate‐Resilient Health Systems Among Indigenous Communities: Advancing Equity and Sustainability in Global Health

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most climate‐resilience health interventions are designed at the global level, with minimal attention to Indigenous communities' needs. The lack of consideration can lead to unintended harm and exacerbate health risks. This study aims to identify the capacities of Indigenous communities that can serve as transformative pathways in safely ...
