Automating the quantification of coastal change using historical aerial photography: A case study along the coastline of county Cork, Ireland by Emma Chalençon, Fiona Cawkwell, Michael O’Shea, Jimmy Murphy

“…The approach relies on the Normalised Green–Blue Difference Index (NGBDI), which is versatile enough to discriminate disparate coastal vegetation environments, at different resolutions and in various lighting and seasonal conditions. An iterative optimal threshold process and the use of LiDAR ancillary datasets resulted in an automated vegetation line measurement with uncertainties estimated to be between 0.6 and 1.2 m. …”

Environmental Influences on Growth and Reproduction of Invasive Commelina benghalensis by Mandeep K. Riar, Danesha S. Carley, Chenxi Zhang, Michelle S. Schroeder-Moreno, David L. Jordan, Theodore M. Webster, Thomas W. Rufty

“…Collectively, the results indicate that (1) fertility management in highly weathered soils may strongly constrain competitiveness of C. benghalensis; (2) shorter photoperiods will limit vegetative competitiveness later in the growing seasons of most crops; and (3) the high degree of reproductive plasticity and output possessed by C. benghalensis will likely cause continual persistence problems in agricultural fields.…”

Assessment of Soil Heavy Metal Pollution and Phytoremediation Potential of Dominant Species in Water-Level-Fluctuation Zone of Large Reservoir by Wenqiao Li, Youwei Zuo, Yunpeng Li, Denghao Ning, Huan Zhang, Changying Xia, Xiao Zhang, Hongping Deng

“…The water-level-fluctuation zone of a reservoir is an important connection between land and water; due to counter-seasonal rhythmic water level changes, this area is more sensitive and vulnerable, whereas the assessment and management of heavy metal pollution are still elusive. …”

Repeated subglacial jökulhlaups in northeastern Greenland revealed by CryoSat by Laurence Gray, David Burgess, Luke Copland, Christine Dow, Xavier Fettweis, David Fisher, Will Kochtitzky, Wesley van Wychen, James Zheng

“…In contrast, a second smaller subglacial lake at a higher elevation had two subglacial outbursts of ~0.3 km3 in 2012 and 2019 but the lake filling was gradual and not strongly seasonal or episodic. Water remained in both lakes after the outflows but this may not be the case for the third smallest and lowest subglacial lake. …”

Comparative Study of Maximum Power Point Tracking Techniques for Photovoltaic Systems by Fernando Lessa Tofoli, Dênis de Castro Pereira, Wesley Josias de Paula

“…Besides, MPP tracking (MPPT) is desirable in both grid-connected and stand-alone photovoltaic systems because the solar irradiance and temperature change throughout the day, as well as along seasons and geographical conditions, also leading to the modification of the I×V (current versus voltage) and P×V (power versus voltage) curves of the PV module. …”

Dominant Modes of Tropospheric Ozone Variation over East Asia from GOME Observations by Yi Liu, Yuli Zhang, Yong Wang, Chuanxi Liu, Zhaonan Cai, Paul Konopka, Rolf Müller

“…The principal component of EOF1 (PC1) suggested that photochemical ozone production together with Brewer-Dobson circulation and subtropical westerly jet plays important roles in modulating the seasonal variation of the TOVMR; ozone-rich air produced by photochemical processes was transported from the stratosphere to the troposphere by BD circulation and this ozone-rich air was then blocked by the subtropical westerly jet and accumulated north of the jet. …”
