Spatio‐temporal dynamics of ringed seal density and habitat use in the Arctic's Last Ice Area

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The Arctic is warming at approximately four times the global rate, driving widespread decline in sea ice extent, thickness, and seasonal duration. The ecological consequences of these rapid changes remain poorly understood within the Last Ice Area, a region that includes northern Ellesmere Island and the northwest of Greenland, projected to retain ...

Assessment of Automated Snow Cover Detection at High Solar Zenith Angles with PROBA-V

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
Changes in the snow cover extent are both a cause and a consequence of climate change. Optical remote sensing with heliosynchronous satellites currently provides snow cover data at high spatial resolution with daily revisiting time.

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Civil Society Advocacy and Climate Change in Kenya: The Question of “Local Voices” and Their “Amplification”

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in addressing climate change is acknowledged, but engagement with questions of voice remains limited, especially in the Global South. Addressing this, this paper zooms in on (International) nongovernmental organizations ((I)NGOs) and their collaborations with domestic CSOs in the Global South on ...

Living Snow Fences; TR-460, 2006 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Blowing snow can cause significant problems for mobility and safety during winter weather in three distinct ways. It may drift onto the road, thus requiring almost continuous plowing while the wind is blowing (which may occur when a given winter storm is

The Role of Trade Unions in Environmental Governance: Exploring Workers Legitimacy Judgments

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trade unions are increasingly expected to play a role in sustainability transitions, but their legitimacy as environmental governance actors remains underexplored. Our study uses a multidimensional framework to examine how workers, both union members and non‐members, evaluate trade union legitimacy “from below.” This framework distinguishes ...
