, 2021 Wet-snow avalanches are a significant hazard in mountainous regions, especially for infrastructure. Wet-snow stability can change within a couple of minutes and is thought to be strongly dependent on water movement through the snowpack.

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Wet Snow Accumulation on Inclined Cylindrical Surfaces
Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2020 Wet snow accumulation on bridge cables and its shedding due to external phenomena such as rise in temperature, wind, and gravity is a serious threat to the safety of cars and pedestrians crossing the bridge. Commonly the accumulated snow on bridge cables

Spatio-temporal influence of tundra snow properties on Ku-band (17.2 GHz) backscatter [PDF]
, 2015 During the 2010/11 boreal winter, a distributed set of backscatter measurements was collected using a ground-based Ku-band (17.2 GHz) scatterometer system at 26 open tundra sites.

Architected Load Paths Enable Stiffening and Motion Programming in Soft Pneumatic Actuators
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A single MARS template introduces an architected reinforcement strategy for programmable soft pneumatic actuators through internal structural organization and selective beam removal. This monolithic architecture enables deformation reconfiguration from continuous bending to joint‐like articulation and torsional motion, allowing one compliant platform ...

Monitoring Wet-Snow Avalanche Risk in Southeastern Tibet with a UAV-Based Multi-Sensor Framework
Remote SensingWet-snow avalanches constitute a major geomorphic hazard in southeastern Tibet, where warm, humid climatic conditions and a steep, high-relief terrain generate failure mechanisms that are distinct from those in cold, dry snow environments.

Extreme Value Analysis and Modelling of Wet Snow Accretion on Overhead Lines in Hungary
Atmosphere, 2022 Wet snow events in Hungary can occasionally cause damage to overhead power lines and serious power supply failures. Return period calculation of such high snow mass events was determined upon a 50-year long data series available at 12 meteorological ...

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines interval selection in the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) program and evaluates how uniform premium subsidy rates affect optimal interval selections. Using South Dakota as a case study, we show a trend of increasing selection of nonproduction intervals from 2013 to 2024, raising concerns about program
