Mapeo de la convergencia entre pobladores, pesticidas y áreas protegidas
La exposición a pesticidas puede afectar la salud humana y de los ecosistemas. Una investigación reciente aplica modelos cartográficos en Ecuador, los cuales pueden ser exportados a otras escalas para limitar estos impactos adversos en otras regiones.
Mapping Intersections of Pesticides, Protected Areas, and People
Pesticide exposures can impact human and ecosystem health, and new research uses a modeling approach applied to Ecuador that can be scaled and exported to limit negative impacts in other regions.
Using Bayesian Inference to Improve Sediment-Transport Models
A new Bayesian approach is used for the estimation and uncertainty quantification of unobservable parameters required to model tracer evolution in ocean sediment transport and tracer concentrations.
Tracking Human CO2 Emissions from Medium-Sized Cities
Atmospheric inverse models, combined with observations, successfully tracked modest CO2 emission reductions in Salt Lake City during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
Deciphering the History of a Rock’s Crystallization
By combining a phase field function approach with bulk thermodynamics of mineral phases, the thermal history of a rock can now be deciphered from its distribution of mineral phases.
A New Workflow to Image the 3D Structure of Active Faults
A new approach to illuminate 3D fault structures using earthquake hypocenters may improve our understanding of earthquake propagation and arrest across step overs.
Simulating the Journey of Pollen in the Atmosphere
A new study couples an emission and transport scheme of pollen from vegetation, and explores pollen’s evolution in different atmospheric conditions and its impacts on clouds and precipitation.
A New Perspective on Aerosols and Emissions Over Northern China
During 2013-2019, a distinct seasonality for trends of aerosol concentrations and optical properties was found over Northern China.
Simulating Clouds on Arbitrary Grids in Any Spatial Direction
A new non-column based spectral element implementation of cloud microphysics enables full 3D flexibility in computing clouds and improves computational efficiency.
