A multidisciplinary coastal vulnerability assessment for local government focused on ecosystems, Santa Barbara area, California [PDF]

, 2019
Incorporating coastal ecosystems in climate adaptation planning is needed to maintain the well-being of both natural and human systems. Our vulnerability study uses a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate climate change vulnerability of an urbanized ...

Deep Uncertainty Surrounding Coastal Flood Risk Projections: A Case Study for New Orleans

, 2017
Future sea-level rise drives severe risks for many coastal communities. Strategies to manage these risks hinge on a sound characterization of the uncertainties. For example, recent studies suggest that large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) may

Emergent Freestanding Complex Oxide Membranes for Multifunctional Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review surveys freestanding oxide membranes and covers fabrication and three pathways for studies and devices: strain‐free and strained membranes, and van der Waals‐integrated heterostructures. We show how coupled oxide responses map onto these routes and cross‐couple to expand behaviors.

STORM v.2: A simple, stochastic rainfall model for exploring the impacts of climate and climate change at and near the land surface in gauged watersheds [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Climate change is expected to have major impacts on land surface and subsurface processes through its expression in the hydrological cycle, but the impacts to any particular basin or region are highly uncertain.

Microenvironment Modulation‐Based Nanomaterial‐Loaded Hydrogel Dressings for Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Research Progress and Future Perspectives

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
xx xx. ABSTRACT Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic complication of diabetes, primarily caused by hyperglycemia, peripheral vascular disease, and neuropathy. Characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, impaired perfusion, inflammation, and infection, DFUs pose significant challenges to healing and are associated with high morbidity and amputation ...

Hurricane surge and inundation in the Bahamas, part 1: Storm surge model

Journal of Flood Risk Management
A storm surge model has been developed as part of a pilot study for The Commonwealth of the Bahamas. The hydrodynamic model, TELEMAC‐2D, is used to simulate the response of water level to tide and the wind and atmospheric pressure fields of hurricanes ...
