Lacking data? No worries! How synthetic images can alleviate image scarcity in wildlife surveys: A case study with muskox (Ovibos moschatus)

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study investigates the integration of synthetic imagery, created with diffusion‐based models, to supplement limited training data and improve muskox (Ovibos moschatus) detection in zero‐shot (ZS) and few‐shot (FS) settings. ZS models detected more than 80% of muskoxen in real images, confirming the potential of synthetic data as a substitute for ...

Future changes in population exposure to snowfall extremes across Eurasia

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Extreme snowfall events have frequently occurred across parts of Eurasia, causing substantial economic losses and severe societal impacts. As global warming intensifies, assessing its potential effect on population exposure to such extremes becomes increasingly crucial. This study employed CMIP6 model datasets and future population projections

Estimating Rain‐Specific Attenuation at Extremely High Frequencies From Disdrometer Measurements at Various Climate Zones in the US

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The raindrop size distribution (DSD) plays an essential role in understanding rain attenuation effects at extremely high frequencies (EHFs). Over 1 year of DSD measurements was taken at different Köppen–Geiger climate classifications within the United States. Optical disdrometers from Thies Clima were used to measure both the size and velocity

Transformative Pathways for Strengthening Climate‐Resilient Health Systems Among Indigenous Communities: Advancing Equity and Sustainability in Global Health

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most climate‐resilience health interventions are designed at the global level, with minimal attention to Indigenous communities' needs. The lack of consideration can lead to unintended harm and exacerbate health risks. This study aims to identify the capacities of Indigenous communities that can serve as transformative pathways in safely ...
