River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Invasive species can fundamentally alter their introduced habitats by changing natural processes and harming native species crucial to functional ecosystems and human needs. Although the number of potential invasive species is large, the suitability of novel locations to support population establishment is limited by both physical and ...

Learning to filter: snow data assimilation using a Long Short-Term Memory network [PDF]
The CryosphereTrustworthy estimates of snow water equivalent and snow depth are essential for water resource management in snow-dominated regions. While ensemble-based data assimilation techniques, such as the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), are commonly used in this ...

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

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

Limitations in Hydrological Interpretations of the Snow Coverage [PDF]
Hydrology Research, 1980 Patterns of the disappearing seasonal snow cover are similar year after year. This could lead to the assumption that a certain areal extent of snow indicates always a corresponding volume of snow or of water stored in a given basin. Such possibility of seasonal runoff forecasts had to be dismissed in an alpine basin.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Snowmelt control on spring hydrology declines as the vernal window lengthens
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 The vernal window, or the winter-to-spring transition, is a key period for seasonally snow-covered, forested ecosystems. The events that open and close the vernal window shape the unique characteristics of spring hydrology that, in turn, influence both ...

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

Authoring Terrestrial Planets with Diffusion Models
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract To support the design and subsequent generation of terrestrial planets for use in the creative media, we propose a solution that employs a generative model trained on satellite data from planetary bodies with a defined solid surface, such as the Earth and Mars.
