DesnowNet: Context-Aware Deep Network for Snow Removal [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE 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.

From white to green: Snow cover loss and increased vegetation productivity in the European Alps

open access: yesScience, 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.

Winters are changing: snow effects on Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems

open access: yesArctic 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

Sentinel-1 snow depth retrieval at sub-kilometer resolution over the European Alps

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2021
. Seasonal snow in mountain regions is an essential water resource. However, the spatio-temporal variability in mountain snow depth or snow water equivalent (SWE) from regional to global scales is not well understood due to the lack of high-resolution ...

GlobSnow v3.0 Northern Hemisphere snow water equivalent dataset

open access: yesScientific Data, 2021
We describe the Northern Hemisphere terrestrial snow water equivalent (SWE) time series covering 1979–2018, containing daily, monthly and monthly bias-corrected SWE estimates.

Dominance of grain size impacts on seasonal snow albedo at deforested sites in New Hampshire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Snow cover serves as a major control on the surface energy budget in temperate regions due to its high reflectivity compared to underlying surfaces.

Winter melt trends portend widespread declines in snow water resources

open access: yesNature Climate Change, 2020
In many mountainous regions, winter precipitation accumulates as snow that melts in the spring and summer, which provides water to one billion people globally. Climate warming and earlier snowmelt compromise this natural water storage.

Linking snow depth to avalanche release area size: measurements from the Vallée de la Sionne field site [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016
One of the major challenges in avalanche hazard assessment is the correct estimation of avalanche release area size, which is of crucial importance to evaluate the potential danger that avalanches pose to roads, railways or infrastructure.

Conservation and people: Towards an ethical code of conduct for the use of camera traps in wildlife research

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2020
1. Camera trapping is a widely employed tool in wildlife research, used to estimate animal abundances, understand animal movement, assess species richness and understand animal behaviour.
