More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

Estimating snow depth based on dual polarimetric radar index from Sentinel-1 GRD data: A case study in the Scandinavian Mountains

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
The sensitivity of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarization information to snow depth changes provides new opportunities for regional snow depth retrieval in mountains with thick snow cover.

Algorithms for the snow cover depth calculation from measurements of the soil-atmosphere registering complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Algorithms for the calculation of snow cover depth from measurements of the soil-atmosphere registering complex are presented. Methods for determining the air-snow interface from the temperature sensors near the soil surface are discussed.

How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Insight into the Thermodynamic Structure of Blowing Snow Layers in Antarctica from Dropsonde and CALIPSO Measurements [PDF]

open access: yes
Blowing snow is a frequent and ubiquitous phenomenon over most over Antarctica. The transport and sublimation of blowing snow are important for the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet and the latter is a major contributor to the hydrological cycle in

Long-term changes in annual maximum snow depth and snowfall in Switzerland based on extreme value statistics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Mountain snow cover is an important source of water and essential for winter tourism in Alpine countries. However, large amounts of snow can lead to destructive avalanches, floods, traffic interruptions or even the collapse of buildings.

A process‐based social‐ecological systems framework for studying the effects of human recreation on wildlife

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the effects of human recreation on wildlife is fundamental for effective management and coexistence, where natural landscapes increasingly serve a dual purpose: protecting biodiversity while providing recreational opportunities. Social‐ecological systems frameworks, which acknowledge the reciprocal links between people and nature,

Seasonal snow depth dataset over flat terrains in the Northern Hemisphere based on ICESat-2 data from 2018 to 2020

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth
Snowmelt water is a crucial freshwater resource in mid-to-high-latitude mountain areas. Snow depth is a key parameter in estimating snowmelt water. Current snow depth datasets have low spatial resolution and insufficient observational data for validating

Development of Global Operational Snow Analysis at the US Air Force 557th Weather Wing [PDF]

open access: yes
The outdated SNODEP snow depth retrieval algorithm is replaced by the Foster et al. (1997; 2005) approach, which considers the effects of variations in forest cover.
