Dynamical Evidence for a Late Formation of Saturn's Moons

, 2016
We explore the past evolution of Saturn's moons using direct numerical integrations. We find that the past Tethys-Dione 3:2 orbital resonance predicted in standard models likely did not occur, implying that the system is less evolved than previously ...

Parameter investigation for urban surface‐energy balance: A large‐eddy simulation study

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Large eddy simulation modelling is used to investigate the variation in surface‐energy balance (SEB) across an ensemble of morphometrically identical urban geometries. The geometries have the same plan‐area fraction, vegetated fraction, and frontal‐area index, but are unique in terms of building and green‐space layout.

Enabling Stakeholder Decision-Making With Earth Observation and Modeling Data Using Tethys Platform

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Tethys Platform is an open source framework for developing web-based applications for Earth Observation data. Our experience shows that Tethys significantly lowers the barrier for cloud-based app development, simplifies the process of accessing scalable ...

Toarcian oceanic anoxic event: An assessment of global causes using belemnite C isotope records [PDF]

, 2005
Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain simultaneous large negative excursions (up to 7% PeeDee belemnite) in bulk carbonate (delta(13)C(carb)) and organic carbon isotope records (delta(13)C(org)) from black shales marking the Toarcian oceanic ...

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Integration of seismic modeling and interpretation of real seismic data for the detection and characterization of carbonate stringers: example from Oman

Scientific Reports
Carbonate stringers are well known geological targets in Oman due to their high estimated prospective resources and production rate, especially in the South Oman Salt Basin (SOSB).

Time- and depth-wise trophic niche shifts in Antarctic benthos [PDF]

, 2018
Climate change is expected to affect resource-consumer interactions underlying stability in polar food webs. Polar benthic organisms have adapted to the marked seasonality characterising their habitats by concentrating foraging and reproductive activity ...

Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

Investigation of the Baba Habib and Sultan anticlines in the Lurestan sub-basin using biostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy to determine the nature of the Pyrenees Orogeny in the Zagros Basin [PDF]

Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches
This investigation aims to examine the available unconformity of the Late Alpine orogenic phases in the Lurestan sub-basin, with particular emphasis on the Baba Habib and Sultan anticlines.

Trumpet sounds emitted by male sperm whales in the Mediterranean Sea

Scientific Reports, 2021
Sperm whale trumpets are sounds only occasionally documented, with a well recognisable and stereotyped acoustic arrangement. This study investigated the acoustic features of the trumpets and the context in which these sounds were recorded, using acoustic
