ANNUAL AND SEASONAL GLACIER-WIDE SURFACE MASS BALANCE QUANTIFIED FROM CHANGES IN GLACIER SURFACE STATE: A REVIEW ON EXISTING METHODS USING OPTICAL SATELLITE IMAGERY

Glaciers are one of the terrestrial essential climate variables (ECVs) as they respond very sensitively to climate change.A key driver of their response is the glacier surface mass balance that is typically derived from field measurements.It deserves to be quantified over long time scales to better understand the accumulation and ablation processes

Being an emerging family of crystalline porous materials, hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are types of ordered supramolecular structures that constructed from organic linkers (including those with organometallic units) via mainly hydrogen bonds.HOFs have now Rectangle Acrylic Plaque attracted increasing attention in various fields, owing

Differences in body sizes may create a trade-off between foraging efficiency (foraging gains/costs) and access to resources.Such a trade-off provides a potential mechanism for ecologically similar species to coexist on one resource.We explored this hypothesis for tundra (Cygnus columbianus) and trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator), a federally prote
