Interannual climate variability improves niche estimates for ectothermic but not endothermic species
Scientific Reports, 2023 Climate is an important limiting factor of species’ niches and it is therefore regularly included in ecological applications such as species distribution models (SDMs).

On the saltation of fresh snow in a wind tunnel: profile characterization and single particle statistics [PDF]
, 2008 We present experimental results on the snow drift in a turbulent boundary layer over a flat fresh snow-covered surface. Vertical profiles of mass flux and of the distribution of particle diameters were obtained by means of a pair of Snow Particle ...

The relevance of rock shape over mass—implications for rockfall hazard assessments
Nature Communications, 2021 The awareness of rock shape dependence in rockfall hazard assessment is growing, but experimental and field studies are scarce. This study presents a large data set of induced single block rockfall events quantifying the influence of rock shape and mass ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.While cysteine is widely employed as a nucleophilic handle for peptide modification, the electrophilicity of the oxidized form, cystine, is rarely exploited. This study describes a mild, photochemical coupling of sulfinate salts with peptide disulfides.

Evaluation of snow cover and depth simulated by a land-surface model using detailed regional snow observations from Austria [PDF]
, 2010 An evaluation is undertaken of the accuracy with which the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) can simulate snow cover and depth when driven using data from the Hadley Centre Regional Climate Model.

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]
, 2004 Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...

Micro-mechanical insights into the dynamics of crack propagation in snow fracture experiments
Scientific Reports, 2021 Dry-snow slab avalanches result from crack propagation in a highly porous weak layer buried within a stratified and metastable snowpack. While our understanding of slab avalanche mechanisms improved with recent experimental and numerical advances ...

Spatio-temporal influence of tundra snow properties on Ku-band (17.2 GHz) backscatter [PDF]
, 2015 During the 2010/11 boreal winter, a distributed set of backscatter measurements was collected using a ground-based Ku-band (17.2 GHz) scatterometer system at 26 open tundra sites.
