Shallow landsliding and catchment connectivity within the Houpoto Forest, New Zealand. [PDF]
, 2013 Active landslides and their contribution to catchment connectivity have been investigated within the Houpoto Forest, North Island, New Zealand. The aim was to quantify the proportion of buffered versus coupled landslides and explore how specific physical

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a major marine organosulfur compound central to climate‐relevant dimethyl sulfide (DMS) production. In Halomonas sp. D47, DMSP catabolism is revealed to be coordinated by two transcriptional regulators, AcuR and AcuZ, which control gene expression by sensing DMSP and its metabolites.

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...

Event-based rainfall-induced landslide inventories and rainfall thresholds for Malawi
LandslidesLandslide event inventories are one of the most critical datasets to increase knowledge on landslide occurrences. However, they are rarely available in various regions, especially in countries of the Global South. This study aims to generate rainfall-induced landslide event inventories and define the rainfall thresholds responsible for landslide ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The ultrathin (2.5 nm) MXene film self‐assembled at liquid interfaces breaks the trade‐off between transparency (82.5 %) and photothermal conversion effect (DT∼25.1°C ± 2.9 °C) under 100 mW cm−2. After encapsulated by a slippery surface with low adhesion, this transparent film can be applied in smart windows, eyewear, and optical sensors to autonomous ...

A typhoon-induced debris flow warning model integrating rainfall thresholds with geological factors
Frontiers in Earth ScienceTyphoon-induced debris flows pose a significant threat to the southeastern coastal regions of China. The existing typhoon-induced debris flow warning models, however, are largely limited in the refinement of their rainfall thresholds and in their lack of
