Spatio-temporal variability of snow water equivalent in the extra-tropical Andes Cordillera from distributed energy balance modeling and remotely sensed snow cover [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Seasonal snow cover is the primary water source for human use and ecosystems along the extratropical Andes Cordillera. Despite its importance, relatively little research has been devoted to understanding the properties, distribution and variability of ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

VARIABILITY OF WINTER RUNOFF OF THE OKA RIVER AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH CLIMATE CHANGE
Лëд и снег, 2018 Response of a river flow in a winter low-water period to the climate changes is analyzed by the example of theOkaRiver(245 thousand km2). The analysis was done for each individual month from December to March during the period 1980–2015.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

Using CloudSat‐CPR Retrievals to Estimate Snow Accumulation in the Canadian Arctic
Earth and Space Science, 2020 Snow is a critical contributor to our global water and energy budget, with profound impacts for water resource availability and flooding in cold regions. The vast size and remote nature of the Arctic present serious logistical and financial challenges to

Postnatal craniomandibular growth in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Postnatal ontogeny in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina). Cranium and mandible grow rapidly until 5 years of age, followed by a deceleration and finally a stagnation. Abstract As secondarily aquatic carnivores, seals display several phenotypic differences compared to their terrestrial relatives.

Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.

Dynamic-stochastic modeling of snow cover formation on the European territory of Russia
Лëд и снег, 2015 A dynamic-stochastic model, which combines a deterministic model of snow cover formation with a stochastic weather generator, has been developed. The deterministic snow model describes temporal change of the snow depth, content of ice and liquid water ...
