Modelling polar bear maternity den habitat in east Svalbard

open access: yes, 2020
We evaluated a novel tool that predicts possible maternity den habitat of the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) based on a physical snow transport model, a digital terrain model and weather data.

A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,

Polar Motion Dynamics on Slow‐Rotating Venus: Signatures of Mantle Flow

open access: yesAGU Advances
With its 1 day lasting 243 days on Earth, Venus is the slowest‐spinning planet in the Solar System and its rotational bulge is anomalously small. A rotational bulge stabilizes the orientation of planets. Having only a tiny stabilizer, the rotational pole

Polar bears observed climbing steep slopes to graze on scurvy grass in Svalbard

open access: yes, 2017
It is well known that polar bears feed on vegetation. Here, I report novel observations of polar bears grazing on polar scurvy grass (Cochlearia groenlandica) at the foot of a large seabird colony on a cliff on Spitsbergen, Svalbard, in the summers of ...

On ice but not broken: Norwegian–Russian relations in polar science since 24 February 2022

open access: yes
Western countries responded to the full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine on 24 February 2022 by imposing strong sanctions to isolate Russia. Norway has adhered to this policy, with exceptions for cooperation on border control, search and rescue, and ...

Review of Legacies and change in polar sciences: historical, legal and political reflections on the International Polar Year, edited by JM Shadian & M Tennberg

open access: yes, 2010
The International Polar Year (IPY) of 2007–09 was an international scientific enterprise that encompassed all polar regions, and built on the legacies bequeathed by earlier endeavours stretching back to the late 19th century.

Affecting the Properties of Copper–Graphene Electroconductive Composite by Severe Plastic Deformation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Copper‐based composites enhanced with carbon feature convenient mechanical properties and favorable electric conductivity. Processing via deformation and thermomechanical treatments can introduce advantageous microstructures further enhancing their performance. Herein, copper–graphene powder‐based composites are directly consolidated via rotary swaging

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

On the seasonal components of polar motion

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 1989
The excitation functions for the seasonal components (annual and semiannual) of polar motion are calculated based on the atmospheric antisymmetric Rossby‐Haurwitz wave (1;−3). The meridional structures of geopotential and horizontal wind of this wave are reasonable approximations of the quasi‐standing seasonally varying Rossby waves propagating within ...

Modelling of polar bear populations by the Leslie matrix population model

open access: yes, 2010
Some general doubts have been voiced regarding the soundness of using a Leslie matrix population projection on polar bear ...
