Diversity and intersectionality among environmentally burdened communities in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area, USA
  • This article examines diversity and intersectionality among environmentally burdened communities in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area, USA. Location in the city and in industrialised areas near the Delaware River appears to intersect

Trends in the near-zero range of the minimum air-temperature distribution
  • Trends in the near-zero range of the minimum air-temperature distribution
  • Examining the trend of the number of near-zero °C temperatures (NZT) days over the conterminous USA for the period of 1948–1949 through 2010–2011, the AA. found three distinct spatial clusters. The most distinctive spatial clusters are found along

Vegetation-permafrost relations within the forest-tundra ecotone near Old Crow, Northern Yukon, Canada
  • Vegetation-permafrost relations within the forest-tundra ecotone near Old Crow, Northern Yukon, Canada
  • Old Crow Flats is a glaciolacustrine plain that straddles the forest-tundra ecotone in northern Yukon. Annual mean near-surface permafrost temperatures (Tps) measured on the Flats between 2008 and 2011 in patches of taiga, tall shrubs and low shrubs

An undercooled scree slope detected by geophysical investigations in sporadic permafrost below 1000 M ASL, Central Austria
  • Multi-method geophysical investigations, accompanied by microclimatic measurements and vegetation mapping, were performed at an undercooled scree slope near Schladming (Austria) in the eastern Alps in order to detect, map and monitor mountain
  • permafrost. Frozen sediments identified at shallow depths (beneath 1-3 m) were 5-20 m thick and ice-rich. Near-surface temperatures at the foot of the scree slope were strongly influenced by pronounced cooling. Vegetation mapping showed a dominance

Experimental investigation of the impacts of coherent flow structures upon turbulence properties in regions of crescentic scour
  • values of third-order moments associated with the level bed surface and the scour holes are directly related to coherent structures. The components of TKE flux are discussed for the near-bed region of the level bed surface and scour holes in relation
  • to sweep–ejection events. Both the ejection and sweep events at near-bed points on the level surface are more important than within the scour region; and in contrast, both events are stronger for the scour marks than the level bed surface at the outer layer

Leveraging Community Capacity for Nature Conservation in a Rural Island Context: Experiences from Brier Island, Canada
  • In many instances nature conservation projects require input from and collaboration with communities that live near or in ecosensitive regions. The ability of communities to be collaborative varies and often requires capacity development for full
  • , near Westport, Nova Scotia, ways in which existing capacity in a community can be better leveraged for the purpose of conservation are examined. We describe how the linked concepts of community values, place dependence, place identity and motivation

Study on mechanism of retrogressive slope failure using artificial rainfall
  • . It is highlighted that initial failure is not always necessary from the region near the toe of the slope. This study also noticed a strong correlation between rainfall intensity, sliding initiation time, and sliding head. Failure initiating near the toe propagates

Mapping permafrost features that influence the hydrological processes of a thermokarst lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China
  • and borehole water-level measurements revealed spatio-temporal variation of the frost table and soil water storage, and indicated the main direction of subsurface flow through soil on hillslopes near the lake. The measurements hinted at the self-organised
  • formation of lateral flow channels at the thawing frost table near the lake. The ensuing recharge of the lake is balanced by drainage from the deepest end of the lake, down the topographic gradient, as ascertained by coring and lake bed mapping

Changes in the dynamics and thermal regime of the permafrost and active layer of The High Arctic coastal area in north-west Spitsbergen, Svalbard
  • The study was conducted on the Kaffiøyra Plain (Svalbard) at several fixed sites, which represent places typical of the region : a sandy beach, a tundra plain and a moraine ridge. Analysis includes both the ground thawing depth and its near-surface
  • . Mean values of the observed near-surface temperature in recent years (2007–2011) were higher by more than 1.0°C, in comparison to the mean in the late 1970s.

Depth and character of rock weathering across a basaltic-hosted climosequence on Hawai'i
  • Using field observations and geochemical and digital terrain analyses, the AA. describe the structure and thickness of the regolith across a climosequence on the island of Hawai'i to gain insight into the relative roles of precipitation and the near

Effectiveness of natural riparian buffers to reduce subsurface nutrient losses to incised streams
  • In this study, riparian groundwater nutrient concentrations were evaluated near an incised stream under 4 perennial land cover types common to southern Iowa with the objectives to assess how groundwater quality differed by 1) distance away from
  • an incised stream and 2) perennial land cover type. Results indicate that channel incision lowers water tables in the near-stream zone and maintains more aerobic conditions but did not result in enhanced nitrogen mineralization or leaching to groundwater

Assessing volumetric strains and mass balance relationships resulting from biotite-controlled weathering: Implications for the isovolumetric weathering of the Boulder Creek Granodiorite, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
  • The AA. present results from a study of two sites located on the 1.65 Ga Boulder Creek Granodiorite near Boulder, Colorado, USA, in which weakly chemically altered saprock derived from tonalitic and granodioritic–tonalitic bedrock records volumetric
