Temporal and Spatial Analysis of Coastal Landscape Patterns Using the GEE Cloud Platform and Landsat Time Series

Owing to the rapid urbanization combined with global climate change, dramatic land-use change in coastal watersheds is occurred, which, in turn, cause the evolution of landscape patterns and threaten the valuable but fragile ecosystem. The ...

Enlarging Rainfall Area of Tropical Cyclones by Atmospheric Aerosols

Abstract The size of a tropical cyclone (TC), measured by the area of either rainfall or wind, is an important indicator for the potential damage by TC. Modeling studies suggested that aerosols tend to enhance rainfall in the outer rainband...

A geotechnical investigation on a recent gigantic rock avalanche at the Patalganga-Langsi site on the Badrinath highway of chamoli, Uttarakhand (Garhwal Himalaya), India

Abstract Garhwal Himalaya is one of the most landslide-prone regions in the Himalayan Belt due to its seismo-tectonic background, geological complexity, climate, geomorphological setting and large-scale human interference. A gigantic rock a...

Early carbonatite magmatism at Oldoinyo Lengai volcano (Tanzania): carbonatite–silicate melt immiscibility in Lengai I melt inclusions

Carbonatites are unusual C-rich alkaline magmas that have been reported throughout the geological record. Nevertheless, there is only one currently active carbonatite system on Earth: Oldoinyo Lengai stratovolcano in northern Tanzania (God’...

High P‐T Sound Velocities of Amphiboles: Implications for Low‐Velocity Anomalies in Metasomatized Upper Mantle

Abstract Metasomatized mantle xenoliths containing hydrous minerals, such as amphiboles, serpentine, and phlogopite, likely represent the potential mineralogical compositions of the metasomatized upper mantle, where low seismic velocities a...

Microclimatic variations of land surface temperature on Galindez Island (western part of the Antarctic Peninsula)

The study presents analysis of microclimatic conditions on Galindez Island (western part of the Antarctic Peninsula), in particular: seasonal variability and spatial heterogeneity. Based on land surface temperature (LST) data derived from l...

A Review on Modeling Environmental Loading Effects and Their Contributions to Nonlinear Variations of Global Navigation Satellite System Coordinate Time Series

Nonlinear variations in the coordinate time series of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reference stations are strongly correlated with surface displacements caused by environmental loading effects, including atmospheric, hydrologic...

Modernizing GNSS data acquisition, pre-processing, and distribution at volcanological observatories

In recent years, the field of geodetic monitoring is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the transition from GPS-only positioning to a fully multi-GNSS environment. With Galileo, BeiDou, and modernized GPS & GLONASS constella...

Near-Surface Applied Geophysics

Just a few meters below the Earth's surface lie features of great importance, from geological faults which can produce devastating earthquakes, to lost archaeological treasures! This refreshing, up-to-date book explores the foundations of i...

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...

Introduction to geophysics

Handbook of Agricultural Geophysics

Precision farming, site infrastructure assessment, hydrologic monitoring, and environmental investigations- these are just a few current and potential uses of near-surface geophysical methods in agriculture. Responding to the growing demand...

Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

The fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics, along with the related concepts of multifractals, self-similar time series, wavelets, and self-organised criticality, are introduced in this book, for a broad range of reade...

The Solid Earth: An Introduction to Global Geophysics

The Solid Earth is a general introduction to the study of the physics of the solid Earth, including the workings of both the Earth's surface and its deep interior. The emphasis throughout is on basic physical principles rather than instrume...

Environmental and Engineering Geophysics

Geophysical imaging methods provide solutions to a wide range of environmental and engineering problems: protection of soil and groundwater from contamination; disposal of chemical and nuclear waste; geotechnical site testing; landslide and...

Impacts of introduced Rangifer on ecosystem processes of maritime tundra on subarctic islands

Abstract Introductions of mammalian herbivores to remote islands without predators provide a natural experiment to ask how temporal and spatial variation in herbivory intensity alter feedbacks between plant and soil processes. We investigat...

Multi-gene phylogeny and morphological characters reveal seven new species of Micropsalliota (Agaricales, Agaricaceae) from southern China, with an updated key for the species distributed in China

Species of Micropsalliota generally grow in the tropics and are characterised by small, slender basidiomes, brown basidiospores, and cheilocystidia that vary in shape with capitate or subcapitate apex, and pigmented pileipellis. Based on mo...

Dehydrins in the adaptation of common pine and Siberian spruce to growing conditions during vegetation period

The role of stress proteins in the formation of plant adaptability to environmental conditions has not yet been fully revealed. To identify the role of dehydrins (DH) in the strategy of biochemical adaptation in species occupying different ...

Application of the Reuterin System as Food Preservative or Health-Promoting Agent: A Critical Review

The reuterin system is a complex multi-component antimicrobial system produced by Limosilactobacillus reuteri by metabolizing glycerol. The system mainly includes 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA, reuterin), 3-HPA dimer, 3-HPA hydrate, acrol...

Treatment of cauliflower seeds with product based on bacillus subtilis aiming plant seedling production, development and productivity.

The relation between seed vigor and field performance is not yet fully understood, and it is questionable whether these effects extend to more advanced phenological stages and if they affect crop production. In front of that, the objective ...
