Numerical homogenization of the viscoplastic behavior of snow based on X-ray tomography images [PDF]
While the homogenization of snow elastic properties has been widely reported in the literature, homogeneous rate-dependent behavior responsible for the densification of the snowpack has hardly ever been upscaled from snow microstructure.

Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]
Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...

A microstructural approach to model heat transfer in snow [PDF]
The relation between heat flow through snow and microstructure is crucial for the comprehension and modeling of thermophysical, chemical, and mechanical properties of snow. This relationship was investigated using heat flux measurements combined with a microstructural numerical approach.

Microstructure-based simulations of the viscous densification of snow and firn
Abstract. Accurate models for the viscous densification of snow and firn under mechanical stress are of primary importance for various applications, including avalanche prediction and the interpretation of ice cores. Formulations of snow and firn compaction in models are still largely empirical, instead of using microstructures from micro-computed ...

Numerical simulation of elastic stress in the microstructure of snow [PDF]
AbstractThe mechanical properties of snow depend on its microstructure. The fabric of snow was reconstructed in three dimensions using serial sections or X-ray microtomography. A voxel-based finite-element model, with the elements based on the microstructure and ice as the material, was used to calculate the stress distribution in the snow.

Advanced Sorbent Materials in Solid‐Phase Extraction: A Decade of Innovation and Future Perspectives
This review systematically summarizes five families of advanced sorbent materials for solid‐phase extraction (SPE): nanocarbons, porous frameworks (MOFs/COFs), smart polymers, biomass‐derived sorbents, and multifunctional composites. Key molecular interactions (π–π stacking, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, host–guest recognition) are ...

Snow water equivalent retrieved from X- and dual Ku-band scatterometer measurements at Sodankylä using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method [PDF]
Radar at high frequency is a promising technique for fine-resolution snow water equivalent (SWE) mapping. In this paper, we extend the Bayesian-based Algorithm for SWE Estimation (BASE) from passive to active microwave (AM) application and test it using ...
