Snowmelt Onset and Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Spring Migration
Remote SensingCaribou (Rangifer tarandus) undergo exceptionally large, annual synchronized migrations of thousands of kilometers, triggered by their shared environmental stimuli. The proximate triggers of those migrations remain mysterious, though snow characteristics

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The acoustic emission (AE) technique has proven to be an effective method for detecting individual wire breaks in prestressed concrete structures affected by stress corrosion cracking (SCC). However, despite its widespread application, the quantitative assessment of AE monitoring reliability and optimal sensor placement remains unresolved ...

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.In this paper, we use Goffman's notion of “face work” to examine how pipeline engineers perform and present their working selves as competent experts. Our analysis identifies various faces and face work tactics, including a focus on professional judgment, actively selling one's expertise relative to others, protective self‐deprecatory strategies, and ...

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.University Research Ethics Boards (REBs) in Canada are intended to protect research participants, but standardized ethics procedures can be poorly suited to relational, community‐led, action‐oriented, and Indigenous research. This article examines how institutional consent practices can reproduce extractive paradigms when they are applied to research ...

The 2026 cold wave brought northern Fennoscandia its coldest 2‐week period since 1987
Weather, EarlyView.During late December 2025 and January 2026, a severe and long‐lasting cold wave affected northern Fennoscandia. In this article, we aim to quantify the extremity of the 2026 cold wave and evaluate the atmospheric conditions that led to the persistent cold anomalies.

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

Laws of friction in snow mechanics
, 1976 Laws of sliding and friction are of primary importance in the determination of pre-fracture conditions for slab avalanches as well as for practical considerations such as determining snow pressure loads on constructions built in mountainous terrain.

Mechanics of snow avalanches and interaction with structures
, 2012 The interaction between snow avalanches and structures represents a topic of interest both from a scientific point of view, since different study domains and knowledge are involved (structural mechanics, fluid dynamics…), and due to its applicability in practice for a correct design of structures located in avalanche risk areas.

How to stay wild in a highly domesticated landscape? Spatiotemporal behaviour of wolves in Germany
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wild animals can adapt to the increasing presence of humans by either becoming accustomed to it or by avoiding humans by spatiotemporal separation. The return of the wolf to the German lowlands raised the opportunity to study wolf behaviour in one of the most densely populated and fragmented countries in Europe, in an area where topography offers no ...

Mechanical properties of artificial snow
, 2013 Mechanical properties of snow have been a subject of research since the mid-20th century. Theresearch done is based on natural snow. During the last decades the winter business industryhas been growing and also the interest for constructing buildings and artwork of snow. Suchconstructions are generally built using artificial snow, i.e. snow produced by
