Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

The wild honeybee population of Europe is in decline: Evidence from monitoring studies
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Studying the population trends of wild honeybees is possible when considering that managed and wild colonies form different subpopulations within regional honeybee metapopualtions. Abstract Populations of wild western honeybees (Apis mellifera) have been neglected because the species has been considered to consist of managed colonies only.

Late Cenozoic exhumation and drainage evolution of the Central and Western Alps revealed by detrital thermochronology [PDF]
, 2013 The relations between climate, tectonics and topographic changes are still not fully understood. During the Late Cenozoic, the glacial cycles affecting the European Alps are held responsible for a strong increase in Alpine relief. Detrital samples of the

Impact of River Morphology on River–Groundwater Exchange in Braided River Systems
Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Braided river systems are an important source for groundwater recharge, but their complex morphology makes river–groundwater exchange fluxes difficult to estimate. Their river channel morphology changes frequently after floods, which has effects on recharge rates that have rarely been studied in the past.
