Subaqueous “yardangs”: analogs for aeolian yardang evolution

open access: yes, 2013
Landforms, morphologically similar to aeolian yardangs but formed by erosion of bedrock by currents on an estuarine rock platform, are described for the first time. The geometries of the “yardangs” are described and related to semi-lemniscate shapes that

Processes of MISS-formation in a modern siliciclastic tidal flat, Patagonia (Argentina) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The study focus on the description of several MISS as erosional pockets and remnants, flipped-over edges, and large microbial deformation structures as roll-ups, folds and gas domes, in the context of sediment composition, hydraulics, and geomorphology ...

Variability in apple fruit quality across management systems and latitudinal climate gradients

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As the world transitions to more sustainable agricultural practices to combat environmental damage, it is important to investigate how different management systems shape the quality and nutrition of our crops. We analyzed apples from paired organic and conventional sites across the western United States.

The Australian Alps: opportunities and challenges for geotourism

open access: yes, 2010
Geotourism, as the concept of tourism based on geological features, has gained growing traction in recent years as evident not only from contributions in this book, but also from the Geopark movement and the number of recent conferences on the subject ...

Analysis of the wind response to resolved versus parametrized turbulent orographic drag in high‐resolution simulations

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study analyzes the impact of orographic drag on the lower atmosphere over moderately complex terrain using high‐resolution ICON simulations. Numerical simulations explore the effects of parametrizations over moderately complex terrain near the Perdigao experiment site and the Serra da Estrela mountain range by comparing km‐ and 100‐m‐scale ...

Palaeopedology of the Murray river region between Mildura and Renmark, Australia

open access: yes, 1973
clay. They have originated in the humid zone of the Great Dividing Range. Silica is a stable primary mineral, and clay a stable secondary mineral. Silica results from the weathering and erosion of igneous and sedimentary rocks, while clay is a common ...

Advances and Trends in Terrain Classification Methods for Off‐Road Perception

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Off‐road autonomous vehicles (OAVs) are becoming increasingly popular for navigating challenging environments in agriculture, military, and exploration applications. These vehicles face unique challenges, such as unpredictable terrain, dynamic obstacles, and varying environmental conditions.

An Evaluation of Proposed Mechanisms of Slab Flattening in Central Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Central Mexico is the site of an enigmatic zone of flat subduction. The general geometry of the subducting slab has been known for some time and is characterized by a horizontal zone bounded on either side by two moderately dipping sections.

The Growing Tide of Antiscience Sentiment: A Global Concern

open access: yesWorld Medical &Health Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing tide of antiscience sentiment represents a critical global challenge, with particularly visible manifestations in the United States. This viewpoint examines how the rejection of scientific consensus threatens academic institutions, public health, and technological progress worldwide.
