Acoustic impedance measurement of snow density [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1998 Today, it is possible to estimate the density of snow in many different ways (gravimetry, attenuation of gamma rays and velocity of electromagnetic waves). In this paper, we suggest using the acoustic properties of snow. First, we recall the main studies on the acoustic properties of snow.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how national education in Hong Kong functions as a contested arena in which state and non‐state actors struggle over the meaning of citizenship, identity and schooling. Using inductive frame analysis of 319 news articles (2020–2025) from five Chinese‐ and English‐language outlets, it identifies diagnostic, prognostic and ...

Snowpack observations from a circumnavigation of the Greenland Ice Sheet (spring 2014).
Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2016 We report the characteristics of the Greenland ice sheet snowpack, based on data collected during the first wind-propelled circumnavigation of the ice sheet, undertaken in spring 2014.

Relative influence of wild prey and livestock abundance on carnivore‐caused livestock predation
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Conservation conflict over livestock depredation is one of the key drivers of large mammalian carnivore declines worldwide. Mitigating this conflict requires strategies informed by reliable knowledge of factors influencing livestock depredation.

The Strength–Density Relationship for Dry Snow [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1967 A linear relationship between strength and density is a characteristic feature of deposited snow. This relationship is explained theoretically in the case of old dry snow in ternis of the theory of sintering. The discontinuity in the relationship at a density of about 0.4 g./cm 3 is ...

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The global teacher shortage continues to intensify, with disparate impacts across geographic and socio‐economic communities. In Queensland, Australia, where this study originates, post‐COVID teacher shortages have intensified workforce pressures, leaving several regional, rural and remote schools as some of the ‘hardest‐to‐staff’ in the ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Device with rectangular section for layer-by-layer snow sampling
Лëд и снег, 2015 A new snow layer probing device with a rectangular section is described in the paper. This device allows receiving snow samples with the undisturbed structures of snow layers, and more accurately reflects the actual value of the snow water equivalent ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.
