Changing snow conditions are challenging moose (Alces alces) surveys in Alaska

Wildlife Society Bulletin
Snow conditions are changing rapidly across our planet, which has important implications for wildlife managers. In Alaska, USA, the later arrival of snow is challenging wildlife managers' ability to conduct aerial fall (autumn) moose (Alces alces ...

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

People 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 ...

Spatio‐temporal patterns, associated factors and mitigation of tiger and leopard attacks on people in western Himalayas

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Coexistence with large carnivores becomes extremely difficult in areas where there are large number of attacks on humans. An understanding of the factors that explain the spatio‐temporal context of such attacks would guide policy and management to mitigate conflict, conserve carnivores and assist coexistence.

Winter snow as a skillful indicator for spring wildfire in Northeast Asia

npj Natural Hazards
Wildfire in Northeastern Asia presents significant challenges to climate, ecosystems, and socio-economic systems. Here, we investigate the influence of preceding winter snow on spring wildfires in Northeastern Asia.

Modeled Subsidence of Permafrost Terrain 2025–2050: North‐Central Alaska

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A large fraction of the Alaska terrain is underlain by regolith that contains excess ice (ice that in volume exceeds the natural pore space). Possible loss of excess ice would lead to ground subsidence, which in turn would disturb and destabilize the ground surface.

Disposition Model for Permafrost Degradation in Mountainous Regions

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is a widespread thermal phenomenon in Arctic and high mountain regions that, in combination with steep terrain, exerts a key control on slope stability. Its degradation in response to climatic warming can modify the likelihood and timing of rockfall, debris flow and related mass movements. Robust information on the current state and

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Integrating SfM, LiDAR and TLS for High‐Resolution Monitoring of Palsa Surface Changes and Degradation Dynamics

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding fine‐scale surface changes is crucial for quantifying ecosystem dynamics and detecting landscape changes. Palsas, comparably small peatland elevations with an ice‐rich permafrost core, undergo natural cycles of growth and degradation. They can also serve as indicators of climate change in subarctic regions. Because they typically

Regional analysis of spatiotemporal trends in Colorado potato beetle abundance

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Leveraging a large data set on Colorado potato beetles in Wisconsin, we examine spatial and temporal abundance trends. Spatiotemporal statistical models substantially improve fit and show that climate and management factors are positively associated with abundance levels.

New insights into convection‐permitting model simulations from a ZDR$$ {\boldsymbol{Z}}_{\mathbf{DR}} $$ diagnostic for raindrops

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A polarimetric radar forward operator to simulate differential reflectivity (ZDR$$ {Z}_{\mathrm{DR}} $$) from rain was developed to evaluate simulated storms in the Met Office Unified Model (MetUM) for two case days of the Wessex Convection Experiment (WesCon) field campaign. Vertical columns of ZDR$$ {Z}_{\mathrm{DR}} $$, indicative of strong updrafts,
