Two-Stage Framework for Efficient UAV-Based Wildfire Video Analysis With Adaptive Compression and Fire Source Detection

Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly important in disaster emergency response by facilitating aerial video analysis. Due to the limited computational resources available on UAVs, large models cannot be run efficiently fo...

Ice Nucleation Enhancement in Ambient Aerosols Under High‐Salinity Conditions: Insights From Cloud Chamber Experiments

Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a role in mixed‐phase clouds, yet the processes controlling their properties remain poorly understood. Water‐soluble salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) depress the freezing temperature of clou...

Correlations Between Subduction of Linear Oceanic Features and Arc Volcanism Volume Around the Pacific Basin

Abstract Arc volcanoes, created by magma generated from the dehydration of subducting slabs, show great variability in their sizes and along‐arc spatial distributions. In this study, we address a fundamental question, namely, how do subduct...

The solar wind plasma density control of night-time auroral particle precipitation

DMSP F6 and F7 spacecraft observations of the average electron and ion energy, and energy fluxes in different night-time precipitation regions for the whole of 1986 were used to examine the precipitation features associated with solar win...

MFEFNet: An Efficient Network for Infrared Small Target Detection With Multiview Feature Extraction and Multiscale Attention Fusion

Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) remains a core challenge in remote sensing, mainly due to low signal-to-noise ratios, small target sizes, background interference, and large-scale variations. Although existing methods have achieved p...

The Beginning of a Wilson Cycle in an Accretionary Orogen: The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean Opened Assisted by a Devonian Mantle Plume

Abstract The opening of oceans within accretionary orogens is important for understanding the Wilson cycle. The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean (MOO) began opening within the early Paleozoic accretionary collage of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAO...

Neural computing in geophysics

The 17th century philosopher-mathematician Rene Descartes offered the statement “Cogito, ergo sum” or “I think, therefore I am” as proof of his personal existence. While modern computers using artificial intelligence technologies cannot mat...

Reservoir geophysics

Abstract The concept of petroleum reservoir geophysics is relatively new. In the past, the role of geophysics was largely confined to exploration and, to a lesser degree, the development of discoveries. As cost-efficiency has taken over as ...

Geophysics for the mineral exploration geoscientist

Providing a balance between principles and practice, this state-of-the-art overview of geophysical methods takes readers from the basic physical phenomena, through the acquisition and processing of data, to the creation of geological models...

Fractal aggregates in geophysics

The combination of small particles to form larger structures is important in a broad range of natural processes, including the flocculation of organic and mineral particles in rivers, estuaries, and the open sea, the growth of smoke particl...

Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

This book introduces the fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics. These concepts are then related to a variety of geological and geophysical problems, illustrating just what chaos theory and fractals really tell us and...

Glacier Geophysics

From physical measurements on glaciers and experimental studies of ice properties a framework of concept and theory is being built which bids fair to place glaciers among the more quantitatively understandable phenomena in the earth science...

Handbook of geophysics and archaeology

Geophysics influences a wide range of subjects, from environmental studies to archaeology, palaeontology to counter-terrorism and law enforcement. 'Handbook of Geophysics and Archaeology' offers a comprehensive overview of geophysical techn...

The New Geophysics

Abstract New Geophysics of critically microcracked rock is a new understanding of fluid‐rock deformation that matches much of the behaviour of in situ rock observed throughout the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle. The behaviour of rock in...

Geophysics as a science

Abstract "Geophysics" means "Physics of the Earth." While in physics one tries to eliminate the effects of the gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields of the earth, in geophysics these fields, their properties and effects, and the stru...
