Most glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau are difficult to assess as they are located in remote regions at high altitude. This study focuses on the surface energy-balance (SEB) and mass-balance (MB) characteristics of Purogangri ...

For the understanding of the impact of meteorological stressors on human perceptions of thermal comfort, it is essential to examine in detail the joint variability of atmospheric conditions and human perception. We designed ...

A multi-model ensemble of regional climate projections is used to estimate the climate change signal in terms of temperature and precipitation for the city of Aachen, Germany, until the end of the current century. Since ...

Arctic glaciers and ice caps are major contributors to past, present and future sea-level fluctuations. Continued global warming may eventually lead to the equilibrium line altitudes of these ice masses rising above their ...

The Brazilian Amazon has experienced one of the world's highest deforestation rates in the last decades. Cattle ranching and soy expansion constitute the major drivers of deforestation, both through direct conversion and ...

The stability and reactivity of the hematite, Fe2O3(0001) surface are studied by density functional theory including an on-site Coulomb term (DFT+U). Even under oxygen rich conditions, the metal-terminated surface is shown ...

In addition to oxometal [Mn+[double bond, length as m-dash]O] and imidometal [Mn+[double bond, length as m-dash]NR] units, transient metal–iodosylarene [M(n−2)+–O[double bond, length as m-dash]IPh] and metal–iminoiodane ...

In recent years, wireless technologies are increasingly adopted in many application domains that were either unconnected before or exclusively used cable networks. This paradigm shift towards - often ad-hoc - wireless ...

This study applies digital analysis methods of topographic data derived from digital elevation models (DEMs) and Landsat remotely sensed spectral data using GIS tools to evaluate the quality and limitations of the morphometric ...

Future increases in land-based production will need to focus more on sustainably intensifying existing production systems. Unfortunately, our understanding of the global patterns of land use intensity is weak, partly because ...
