Crater Retention Timescales of Brain Coral Terrain Record Past Climatic Change on Mars

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Glacial landforms on Mars offer an opportunity to decipher the planet’s recent climate history. We used crater size frequency distributions of brain coral terrain on concentric crater fill, lobate debris aprons, and lineated valley fill, all of which ...

Boosting the Energy Density of “Anode‐Free” Lithium Metal Batteries via Electrospun Polymeric Scaffolds

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
While host structures are known to enhance the reversibility and safety of lithium metal deposition, their additional volume and weight often decrease the battery's energy density and specific energy. By combining a lightweight and porous scaffold of electrospun polymer with a thinner separator, this article demonstrates a simultaneous improvement of ...

Cities and planetary repair: The problem with climate retrofitting [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 2018
In the 2010s, major US initiatives framed urban retrofitting as a decarbonization solution. These programs address an obtrusive legacy of industrial capitalism: its built environments shed energy and emissions when they fall into disrepair. Political ecology and economy have been slow to engage retrofitting, an absence that is conspicuous as these ...

Substellar Landmass Fraction and Atmospheric Circulation Regimes of Ultrashort-period Rocky Planets around White Dwarfs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
White-dwarf (WD) systems are attractive candidates for planet detection and follow-up transmission spectroscopy campaigns. However, the climate and habitability of terrestrial planets around WDs still remain largely elusive, and a central question lies ...

What is the climate system able to do ‘on its own’? [PDF]

open access: yesTellus: Series B, Chemical and Physical Meteorology, 2013
The climate of the Earth, like planetary climates in general, is broadly controlled by solar irradiation, planetary albedo and emissivity as well as its rotation rate and distribution of land (with its orography) and oceans.

Climates of Warm Earth-like Planets I: 3-D Model Simulations

open access: yes, 2018
We present a large ensemble of simulations of an Earth-like world with increasing insolation and rotation rate. Unlike previous work utilizing idealized aquaplanet configurations we focus our simulations on modern Earth-like topography.

The UVic earth system climate model: Model description, climatology, and applications to past, present and future climates

open access: yesData, Models and Analysis, 2001
A new earth system climate model of intermediate complexity has been developed and its climatology compared to observations. The UVic Earth System Climate Model consists of a three‐dimensional ocean general circulation model coupled to a thermodynamic ...

Habitability of Earth-like Stagnant Lid Planets: Climate Evolution and Recovery from Snowball States [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
Coupled models of mantle thermal evolution, volcanism, outgassing, weathering, and climate evolution for Earth-like (in terms of size and composition) stagnant lid planets are used to assess their prospects for habitability.

Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...
