Predicting climate-change impacts on the global glacier-fed stream microbiome by Massimo Bourquin, Hannes Peter, Grégoire Michoud, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Tyler J. Kohler, Andrew L. Robison, Mike Styllas, Leïla Ezzat, Aileen U. Geers, Matthias Huss, Stilianos Fodelianakis, The Vanishing Glaciers Field Team, Tom J. Battin

“…Combining 2,333 prokaryotic metagenome-assembled genomes with climatic, glaciological, and environmental data collected by the Vanishing Glaciers project from 164 GFSs draining Earth’s major mountain ranges, we here predict the future of the GFS microbiome until the end of the century under various climate change scenarios. …”

Estimating the Geological Strength Index (GSI) in Regional Seismic-Landslide Zonation Using the Empirical Regression Model by M. E. Mirabedini, E. Haghshenas, N. Ganjian

“…An empirical regression model was presented to estimate the Geological Strength Index (GSI) with an implication on geological quadrangle of Gorgan region at Alborz mountains range (north of Iran). Two main sets of data were applied in this study: (1) geomorphological data including the slope height, aspect, and distance from faults and distance from thrusts and (2) the physical and mechanical properties of rocks including the unit weight, uniaxial compressive strength (σci), and the petrographic constant (mί) of intact rock. …”

The very-high-resolution configuration of the EC-Earth global model for HighResMIP by E. Moreno-Chamarro, E. Moreno-Chamarro, E. Moreno-Chamarro, T. Arsouze, T. Arsouze, M. Acosta, P.-A. Bretonnière, M. Castrillo, E. Ferrer, A. Frigola, D. Kuznetsova, E. Martin-Martinez, P. Ortega, S. Palomas

“…In contrast to LR and HR, VHR shows a reduced equatorial Pacific cold tongue bias, an improved Gulf Stream representation with a reduced coastal warm bias and a reduced subpolar North Atlantic cold bias, and more realistic orographic precipitation over mountain ranges. By contrast, VHR shows a larger warm bias and overly low sea ice extent over the Southern Ocean. …”
