A meandering polar jet caused the development of a Saharan cyclone and the transport of dust toward Greenland [PDF]

Advances in Science and Research, 2019
In this study, we identify a new mechanism by which dust aerosols travel over long distances across the eastern side of the North Atlantic Ocean toward the Arctic. The meandering polar jet was at the origin of both dust emission through cyclogenesis over

Ingredients, Processing, and Fermentation: Addressing the Organoleptic Boundaries of Plant-Based Dairy Analogues

Foods, 2022
Consumer interest and research in plant-based dairy analogues has been growing in recent years because of increasingly negative implications of animal-derived products on human health, animal wellbeing, and the environment.

Changes in compound flood event frequency in northern and central Europe under climate change

Frontiers in Climate, 2023
The simultaneous occurrence of increased river discharge and high coastal water levels may cause compound flooding. Compound flood events can potentially cause greater damage than the separate occurrence of the underlying extreme events, making them ...

Active subglacial lakes and channelized water flow beneath the Kamb Ice Stream [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2016
We identify two previously unknown subglacial lakes beneath the stagnated trunk of the Kamb Ice Stream (KIS). Rapid fill-drain hydrologic events over several months are inferred from surface height changes measured by CryoSat-2 altimetry and indicate ...

A Roadmap for Policy-Relevant Sea-Level Rise Research in the United Arab Emirates

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a long-term policy horizon, the financial capital, and a vision for a sustainable knowledge-based economy. These characteristics uniquely situate it as a potential leader for sea-level rise research.

Precursor motion to iceberg calving at Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland, observed with terrestrial radar interferometry

Journal of Glaciology, 2016
Time-varying elevations near the calving front of Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland were observed with a terrestrial radar interferometer (TRI) in June 2015. An ice block with surface dimensions of 1370 m × 290 m calved on 10 June.

Meteotsunamis in the northern Baltic Sea and their relation to synoptic patterns

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2022
Low-tidal coastal regions, such as the Baltic Sea, are known to be particularly vulnerable to exceptional high-frequency sea level oscillations such as meteotsunamis. Possibilities of studying sub-hourly sea level variations have recently improved, owing

Accounting for Compound Flooding Can Prevent Maladaptation—A Baltic Sea Case Study

Earth's Future
Estuarine areas are currently at risk of compound flooding, the frequency and intensity of which is expected to increase with climate change. Even though efforts are made to adapt against single flood drivers using hard protection, potential subsequent ...

From flood forecasts to rapid assessments of risk and impacts: Establishing operational modelling frameworks for coastal flood management at the German Baltic Sea coast

Cambridge Prisms: Coastal Futures
The record storm surge of October 2023, which hit the southwestern German Baltic Sea, not only resulted in significant damages to coastal communities and infrastructure but also demonstrated that the region was prepared and able to avoid loss of lives ...

Barystatic and steric sea level variations in the Baltic Sea and implications of water exchange with the North Sea in the satellite era

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Satellite altimetry, satellite gravimetry, and in-situ subsurface salinity and temperature profiles are used to investigate the total, barystatic, and steric sea level variations in the Baltic Sea, respectively.
