Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Comprehensive simulation of snow crystal deposition and electric field characteristics of composite sheath improved porcelain cantilever insulator in a wind and snow environment

Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation, 2022
The installed porcelain insulators on existing railway lines in China are prone to "snow flash" in winter. In order to prevent the occurrence of "snow flash" and improve the reliability of the insulators, a composite-porcelain insulator is designed.

Collective Grievance Promotes Collective Action and Aggressive Intergroup Inclinations Through Dehumanization Among Conservative Members of Dominant Groups

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous research has focused on disadvantaged groups seeking social change, overlooking how dominant groups mobilize to preserve the status quo. Across three studies (two correlational, one experimental), we explored how collective grievance—the feeling of being or having been collectively wronged by an outgroup—drives system‐preserving ...

Enhanced Tire–Snow Sinkage Modeling for Optimized Electric Vehicle Traction Control in Northern China Snow Conditions

World Electric Vehicle Journal
The interaction between tires and snow layer is fundamental for vehicle safety on snowy roads. Due to the instantaneous high torque output characteristics of electric vehicles, they are more prone to slipping when driving in snow, which exacerbates the ...

Discriminating Wet Snow and Firn for Alpine Glaciers Using Sentinel-1 Data: A Case Study at Rofental, Austria

Geosciences, 2019
Continuous monitoring of glacier changes supports our understanding of climate related glacier behavior. Remote sensing data offer the unique opportunity to observe individual glaciers as well as entire mountain ranges.

Comprehensive assessment of snow leopard distribution and population in the Indian Trans-Himalaya, Ladakh: Standardizing methods for evidence-based conservation

PLoS ONE
Effective conservation of threatened species depends on accurate scientific assessment of their occurrence and population status. This information is often lacking or has poor scientific reliability for low-density carnivores, such as snow leopards ...

Renewable Energies in Kazakhstan: Current Status, Potential, Challenges, and Opportunities

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Kazakhstan has strong renewable energy potential, with wind as the leading resource and solar and other sources offering additional opportunities. Key challenges include limited infrastructure, investment needs, and grid‐related technical issues. Despite these barriers, renewables can boost economic diversification, enhance energy security, create jobs,
