From distant shores to an emerging island: the role of surface and subsurface transport in modeling seed dispersal

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

Investigating the influence of sub-mesoscale current structures on Baltic Sea connectivity through a Lagrangian analysis

Frontiers in Marine Science
This study explores the impact of sub-mesoscale structures and vertical advection on the connectivity properties of the Baltic Sea using a Lagrangian approach. High-resolution flow fields from the General Estuarine Transport Model (GETM) were employed to

Examining New Donors in the OECD's Development Assistance Committee

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do emerging donors integrate into the existing international aid architecture? While the existing literature focuses largely on emerging donors from the Global South, such as Brazil, China, India and Russia, there are many emerging donors from the Global North that have joined the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC)—the premier ...

Demystifying Non‐Western Administrative Traditions: An Empirical Comparison of Administrative Systems in Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article analyzes public administration systems in 29 non‐Western countries. Country‐level data is presented for 10 core aspects of administrative systems: managerialism versus legalism, politicization, personnel system, civil society participation, accountability, service orientation, public expenditure share, decentralization, legal ...

The historical regions of Europe: civilizational backgrounds and multiple routes to modernity [PDF]

, 2012
A systematic typology or comparative analysis of European historical regions does not exist and there is relatively little literature on the topic. The argument in this paper is that a six-fold classification is needed to capture the diversity of Europe ...

New data on the palaeo–incisions network of the south–eastern Baltic Sea [PDF]

Baltica, 2014
The present study area is located within the south–eastern segment of the Baltic Sea framed by 55o30’–56o30’ N and 19o00’–21o15’E. The area is re-visited with the aim to describe in more detail the geologic prerequisite and development of the palaeo–incisions as well as the timing of their subsequent infillings.

Present and future downslope windstorms in the Scandinavian Mountains from a kilometre‐scale climate model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Kilometre‐scale climate simulations for Scandinavia indicate the importance of high resolution for reproducing downslope windstorms (DWs). Scandinavian DWs on average induce a limited local warming but with large variability due to the region's complex orography.

The wave climate and its seasonal variability in the northeastern Baltic Sea [PDF]

Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2010
The basic features of wave properties in the Baltic Sea and their seasonal variations are estimated by the use of a high-resolution version (3 miles) of the wave model, WAM, driven by adjusted geostrophic winds for 1970–2007 under ice-free conditions ...

THE POSSIBLE GEOGRAPHIC MARGIN EFFECT ON THE DELAY OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION INTO THE EAST BALTIC; pp. 149–162 [PDF]

Eesti Arheoloogiaajakiri, 2018
Since domesticated plants moved from moderate Mediterranean climates in south-west Asia where their domestication took place to different latitudes and altitudes, these species have had to endure both genetic and morphotypical changes.

Trends in MODIS and AERONET derived aerosol optical thickness over Northern Europe [PDF]

, 2019
Long-term Aqua and Terra MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) Collections 5.1 and 6.1 (c051 and c061, respectively) aerosol data have been combined with AERONET (AERosol RObotic NETwork) ground-based sun photometer observations to ...
