DesnowNet: Context-Aware Deep Network for Snow Removal [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2017 Existing learning-based atmospheric particle-removal approaches such as those used for rainy and hazy images are designed with strong assumptions regarding spatial frequency, trajectory, and translucency.

White and wonderful? Microplastics prevail in snow from the Alps to the Arctic
Science Advances, 2019 We detect microplastics in European and Arctic snow, highlighting the importance of atmospheric transport as a pathway. Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous, and considerable quantities prevail even in the Arctic; however, there are large knowledge gaps ...

Signatures of the sub-Rayleigh to supershear fracture transition in snow avalanche experiments [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSnow slab avalanches occur when a crack propagates within a highly porous weak snow layer buried beneath a cohesive snow slab. Here, we report direct observations of a supershear event in snow fracture experiments following the spontaneous transition ...

Deep Dense Multi-Scale Network for Snow Removal Using Semantic and Depth Priors [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2021 Images captured in snowy days suffer from noticeable degradation of scene visibility, which degenerates the performance of current vision-based intelligent systems. Removing snow from images thus is an important topic in computer vision.

Photogrammetrically UAV based terrain data generation and automatic extraction of torrential properties [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Debris flows are a severe hazard in mountainous regions. However, cost-effective long-term studies of debris flows are seldom, which leads to substantial uncertainties in hazard mitigation methods.

From white to green: Snow cover loss and increased vegetation productivity in the European Alps
Science, 2022 Mountains are hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem services, but they are warming about twice as fast as the global average. Climate change may reduce alpine snow cover and increase vegetation productivity, as in the Arctic.

Designing supply chains to meet the growing need of vaccines: evidence from four countries
Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice, 2021 Background Immunization supply chains (iSCs) move vaccines from manufacturer to point of use with the added complexities of requiring cold chain and an increasing need for agility and efficiency to ensure vaccine quality and availability. Underperforming

Winters are changing: snow effects on Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems
Arctic Science, 2022 Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation determines ground temperature, light conditions and moisture availability during winter. It also affects the growing season’s start and end, and plant access to moisture

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2023 Background The electronic community health information system has been increasingly developed and deployed to quantify and support quality health service delivery by community health workers in Ethiopia. However, the success and failure of the electronic
