Publishing a Special Issue of Reports from the volcano observatories in Latin America
Volcanica, 2021 Peer-reviewed publications are the most common way of sharing scientific knowledge internationally. Volcanica is the only fully diamond open access journal in volcanology, publishing peer-reviewed articles without costs to authors or readers. As part of our wider journal mission, Volcanica also aims to address some of the biggest barriers in research ...

Volcano monitoring in Latin America: taking a step forward
Volcanica, 2021 Monitoring the state of active volcanoes is the foundational component of volcanic risk reduction strategies. To a large extent, these responsibilities rest with volcano observatories. Based on the 11 Reports that constitute this Special Issue—“Volcano Observatories in Latin America”—we provide a comprehensive overview of the work that has been carried

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 128, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract During a volcanic crisis, high‐rate, localized deformation can indicate magma close to the surface, with important implications for eruption forecasting. However, only a few such examples have been reported, because frequent, dense monitoring is needed.

Quantifying Parametric Uncertainty Effects on Tropical Cloud Fraction in an AGCM
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Abstract The underestimation of cloud fraction, especially the low stratus cloud (LSC) fraction over the eastern oceans, remains a problem in most atmospheric global climate models. This study investigated potential improvements through perturbing nine moist physical parameters, using uniform sampling and Latin hypercube sampling methods, and ...

The Earth‐Observing Aqua Satellite Mission: 20 Years and Counting
Earth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The Earth‐observing Aqua spacecraft was launched on 4 May 2002 and has now completed 20 years of collecting and transmitting data regarding the Earth's radiation budget, atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice. Although launched with a design life of 6 years, four of its instruments continue to operate and provide high‐quality data streams more than

Hydrological Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022 Rainforest catchment dominated by quick near‐surface runoff generation. Tracer‐aided modelling revealed transit times and water flux ages of less than 3 months old. Climate variability exerts a limited control on mixing of waters. Young water ages result from quick runoff generation with limited mixing, high rainfall volumes and groundwater losses ...

Reflections on a Career in Marine Geoscience
Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 2, Issue 1, 23 December 2021., 2021 Abstract I began my career in the late 1960s at a time when some major oceanographic institutions were running upwards of 30 cruises a year. By the early 1980s, changes in funding patterns, satellite remote sensing, and “law of the sea” had started to impact ocean exploration.

Impact Forecasting to Support Emergency Management of Natural Hazards
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 58, Issue 4, December 2020., 2020 Abstract Forecasting and early warning systems are important investments to protect lives, properties, and livelihood. While early warning systems are frequently used to predict the magnitude, location, and timing of potentially damaging events, these systems rarely provide impact estimates, such as the expected amount and distribution of physical ...

Centaurus, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 797-821, November 2020., 2020 Abstract Between 1820 and 1850, the Dutch government sent several scientists to the Netherlands Indies as part of the Natuurkundige Commissie (Natural History Committee). One of these was naturalist Eltio Alegondus Forsten (1811–1843), who was sent on a collecting mission to Celebes (Sulawesi).
