Soil slaking sensitivity as influenced by soil properties in alluvial and residual humid tropical soils
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019)Purpose: In the humid Caribbean region characterized by high intensity tropical rainfall, soil aggregate breakdown and pore blocking due to slaking pressures are major land degradation mechanisms. In this research, we ... -
The montane trees of the Cameroon Highlands, West-Central Africa, with Deinbollia onanae sp. Nov. (Sapindaceae), a new primate-dispersed, Endangered species
(PeerJ, 2021)We test the hypothesis that the tree species previously known as Deinbollia sp. 2. is a new species for science. We formally characterise and name this species as Deinbollia onanae (Sapindaceae-Litchi clade) and we discuss ... -
The Mantle Transition Zone Hosts the Missing HIMU Reservoir Beneath Eastern China
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020)The Earth's mantle shows large-scale geochemical heterogeneities bounded by several identifiable end-member compositions. However, the origin of extreme mantle reservoirs, for example, high U/ Pb (HIMU), and their location ... -
Moisture Transport during Large Snowfall Events in the New Zealand Southern Alps: The Role of Atmospheric Rivers
(American Meteorological Society, 2021)Synoptic-scale moisture transport during large snowfall events in the New Zealand Southern Alps is largely unknown due to a lack of long-term snow observations. In this study, records from three recently developed automatic ... -
Macromolecular Science Turns 100
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2021)Being 100 years since the birth of macromolecular science, 2020 was meant to be the “Year of Polymers,” but instead it turned into the year of the pandemic. Actually the two are not unrelated —most PPE is made of polymer, ... -
The good, the bad, and the environment: developing an area-based measure of access to health-promoting and health-constraining environments in New Zealand.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)<h4>Background</h4>Accounting for the co-occurrence of multiple environmental influences is a more accurate reflection of population exposure than considering isolated influences, aiding in understanding the complex ... -
The sensitivity of Southern Ocean aerosols and cloud microphysics to sea spray and sulfate aerosol production in the HadGEM3-GA7.1 chemistry-climate model
(Copernicus GmbH, 2019)With low concentrations of tropospheric aerosol, the Southern Ocean offers a "natural laboratory" for studies of aerosol-cloud interactions. Aerosols over the Southern Ocean are produced from biogenic activity in the ocean, ... -
Understanding vulnerability to COVID-19 in New Zealand: a nationwide cross-sectional study
(Informa UK Limited, 2021)COVID-19 can affect the entire population, but it poses an increased risk for particular population groups. Socioeconomic and demographic factors, as well as long-term health conditions, can make populations vulnerable ... -
Flood Impacts on Dairy Farms in the Bay of Plenty Region, New Zealand
(MDPI AG, 2021)Flood damage assessments provide critical information for flood hazard mitigation under changing climate conditions. Recent efforts to improve and systemise damage assessments have focused primarily on urban environments ... -
A Comparison of AMPS Forecasts Near the Ross Sea Polynya With Controlled Meteorological Balloon Observations
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020)©2020. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. This study presents atmospheric boundary layer observations made over the Ross Sea using a long-duration Controlled Meteorological (CMET) balloon and a comparison ... -
Roadmap for naming uncultivated Archaea and Bacteria
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)© 2020, The Author(s). The assembly of single-amplified genomes (SAGs) and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) has led to a surge in genome-based discoveries of members affiliated with Archaea and Bacteria, bringing with ... -
Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report
(University of California Press, 2020)<jats:p>Our understanding of the processes that control the burden and budget of tropospheric ozone has changed dramatically over the last 60 years. Models are the key tools used to understand these changes, and these ... -
The influence of atmospheric circulation patterns during large snowfall events in New Zealand's Southern Alps
(Wiley, 2020)Large snowfall events contribute significantly to total annual snow accumulation across the maritime Southern Alps. However, the knowledge about atmospheric circulation patterns associated with large snowfall events over ... -
Quasi-random ranked set sampling
(Elsevier BV, 2021)This article presents a quasi-random ranked set sampling approach based on the Halton sequence for natural resource surveys. A design-based variance estimator for the sample mean is also presented. -
Long-term analysis of sea ice drift in the western Ross sea, Antarctica, at high and low spatial resolution
(MDPI AG, 2020)© 2020 by the authors. The Ross Sea region, including three main polynya areas in McMurdo Sound, Terra Nova Bay, and in front of the Ross Ice Shelf, has experienced a significant increase in sea ice extent in the first ... -
Updated inventory of glacier ice in New Zealand based on 2016 satellite imagery
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2020)The only complete inventory of New Zealand glaciers was based on aerial photography starting in 1978. While there have been partial updates using 2002 and 2009 satellite data, most glaciers are still represented by the ... -
A country comparison of place-based activity response to COVID-19 policies
(2020)The emergence of the novel Coronavirus Disease in late 2019 (COVID-19) and subsequent pandemic led to an immense disruption in the daily lives of almost everyone on the planet. Faced with the consequences of inaction, ... -
The impacts of a community-based health education and nutritional support program on birth outcomes among migrant workers in maesot, thailand: A retrospective review
(2020)Since 2014, The Charis Project and later Shade Tree Foundation have been conducting community-based interventions focusing on nutritional support and education for pregnant and nursing mothers to alleviate immediate human ... -
Selling just preservation
(Humane Society Institute for Science and Policy, 2020)Treves et al. argue for better representation of voiceless groups in current policy decisions. We agree with the argument but believe it will be challenging to convince enough people of its importance to change policy — ...
