Canadian contributions to environmetrics

Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1355-1386, December 2022., 2022
Abstract This article focuses on the importance of collaboration in statistics by Canadian researchers and highlights the contributions that Canadian statisticians have made to many research areas in environmetrics. We provide a discussion about different vehicles that have been developed for collaboration by Canadians in the environmetrics context as ...

Experimental investigations on the characteristics of snow accretion using the EMU-320 model train [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
This paper presents a snow accretion test conducted in a climate wind tunnel to investigate the icing process on a model train. The model used within this experiment was the cleaned-up and 2/3-scaled version of EMU-320, which is a high-speed train in Korea.

Snow metamorphism: a fractal approach [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 82, 036103 (2010), 2010
Snow is a porous disordered medium consisting of air and three water phases: ice, vapour and liquid. The ice phase consists of an assemblage of grains, ice matrix, initially arranged over a random load bearing skeleton. The quantitative relationship between density and morphological characteristics of different snow microstructures is still an open ...

From research to national expansion: 20 years' experience of community-based management of childhood pneumonia in Nepal

Bulletin of the World Health Organization
PROBLEM: Pneumonia is a leading cause of mortality of children aged under five in Nepal. Research conducted by John Snow Inc. in the 1980s determined that pneumonia case management by community-based workers decreased under-five mortality by 28 ...

Trade-offs between ecosystem service provision and the predisposition to disturbances: a NFI-based scenario analysis

Forest Ecosystems, 2020
Background Scenario analyses that evaluate management effects on the long-term provision and sustainability of forest ecosystem services and biodiversity (ESB) also need to account for disturbances.

Critical factors in the successful expansion of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in India during the COVID-19 pandemic

Vaccine: X, 2023
India had decided to roll out PCV in India in 2015, but successful implementation of any new vaccine introduction mandates an enormous effort. PCV was scaled up during the COVID-19 pandemic, which posed new, unprecedented challenges in the vaccine ...

A rigorous approach to the specific surface area evolution in snow during temperature gradient metamorphism [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Despite being one of the most fundamental microstructural parameters of snow, the specific surface area (SSA) dynamics during temperature gradient metamorphism (TGM) have so far been addressed only within empirical modeling.

N and P constrain C in ecosystems under climate change: Role of nutrient redistribution, accumulation, and stoichiometry

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract We use the Multiple Element Limitation (MEL) model to examine responses of 12 ecosystems to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2), warming, and 20% decreases or increases in precipitation. Ecosystems respond synergistically to elevated CO2, warming, and decreased precipitation combined because higher water‐use efficiency with elevated CO2 and higher ...
