A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

Adhesion of Wet Snow to Different Cable Surfaces [PDF]
Cohesion of snow and its adhesion to cable surfaces are the decisive factors for wet-snow shedding from power-line cables. Knowing the adhesive strength of snow is essential to predict when snow will shed and what consequences it will have on the ...

Diurnal variations in the UV albedo of arctic snow [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2008 The relevance of snow for climate studies is based on its physical properties, such as high surface reflectivity. Surface ultraviolet (UV) albedo is an essential parameter for various applications based on radiative transfer modeling.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Intercomparison of snow density measurements: bias, precision, and vertical resolution [PDF]
, 2016 Density is a fundamental property of porous media such as snow. A wide range of snow properties and physical processes are linked to density, but few studies have addressed the uncertainty in snow density measurements.

Modeling Wet-Snow Shedding from Current-Carrying Conductors [PDF]
The initiation of wet-snow shedding from currentcarrying conductors was studied experimentally and theoretically. A suspended cable with cylindrical snow accretion was considered, and some of the snow properties at the end of sleeve were measured and ...

Fungal Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infections proliferate during amphibian terrestrial dormancy
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The spread and impact of wildlife pathogens is often seasonal, and identifying the season(s) of highest impact can be critical to biodiversity and public health management.
