Disestablishing “Glacial Lake Speight”, New Zealand? An example for the validity of detailed geomorphological assessment with the study of mountain glaciations
(E & G Quaternary Science Journal, 2018)Detailed studies on the sediment budget may reveal valuable insights into the successive build-up of the Canterbury Plains and their modification by Holocene fluvialaction connected to major braided rivers. Additionally, ... -
Editorial: Quantitative Geomorphology with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for Evolving Societies and Science

Pushing the limits of de novo genome assembly for complex prokaryotic genomes harboring very long, near identical repeats.
(2018)Generating a complete, de novo genome assembly for prokaryotes is often considered a solved problem. However, we here show that Pseudomonas koreensis P19E3 harbors multiple, near identical repeat pairs up to 70 kilobase ... -
Electron paramagnetic resonance enhanced crystal field analysis for low point-group symmetry systems: C2v sites in Sm3+:CaF2/SrF2
(2018)We present a comprehensive spectroscopic study of C2v point-group symmetry sites in Sm3+:CaF2/SrF2 codoped with either NaF or LiF. Data includes electron paramagnetic resonance measurements of Zeeman and hyperfine ... -
A comprehensive understanding of ground and optically-excited hyperfine structure of ¹⁶⁷Er³+:Y2SiO5
(2018)Using high-performance computing techniques and targeted experimental investigation we have developed a predictive crystal-field model of the complex hyperfine structure of ¹⁶⁷Er³+:Y2SiO5 We simultaneously match site-selective ... -
Begomovirus-associated satellite DNA diversity captured through vector-enabled metagenomic (VEM) surveys using whiteflies (Aleyrodidae)
(University of Canterbury. Biological SciencesUniversity of Canterbury. Biomolecular Interaction Centre, 2016)Monopartite begomoviruses (Geminiviridae), which are whitefly-transmitted single-stranded DNA viruses known for causing devastating crop diseases, are often associated with satellite DNAs. Since begomovirus acquisition ... -
Novel single-stranded DNA virus genomes recovered from chimpanzee feces sampled from the Mambilla Plateau in Nigeria
(2017)© 2017 Walters et al. Metagenomic approaches are rapidly expanding our knowledge of the diversity of viruses. In the fecal matter of Nigerian chimpanzees we recovered three gokushovirus genomes, one circular replication-associated ... -
Point cloud technology and 2D computational flow dynamic modeling for rapid hazards and disaster risk appraisal on Yellow Creek fan, Southern Alps of New Zealand
(2018)Glacial recession in Alpine Valleys uncorks low-altitude tributary valleys that spill trapped sediments in the sediment cascade, in turn generating sediment-related hazards and flood hazards. Within this complex, the present ... -
The representation of solar cycle signals in stratospheric ozone –Part 2: Analysis of global models
(2018)The impact of changes in incoming solar irradiance on stratospheric ozone abundances should be included in climate simulations to aid in capturing the atmospheric response to solar cycle variability. This study presents ... -
Lagrangian theory of structure formation in relativistic cosmology. V. Irrotational fluids
(2018)We extend the general relativistic Lagrangian perturbation theory, recently developed for the formation of cosmic structures in a dust continuum, to the case of model universes containing a single fluid with a single–valued ... -
Cataclasis and silt smear on normal faults in weakly lithified turbidites
(2018)Fault-seal analysis in sand-shale multilayers emphasises the role of shale smear without explicitly accounting for cataclasis. These processes produce low permeability fault rock and are examined here for small displacement ... -
No robust evidence of future changes in major stratospheric sudden warmings: a multi-model assessment from CCMI
(2018)Major mid-winter stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) are the largest instance of wintertime variability in the Arctic stratosphere. Because SSWs are able to cause significant surface weather anomalies on intra-season ... -
Stratospheric aerosol evolution after Pinatubo simulated with a coupled size-resolved aerosol–chemistry–climate model, SOCOL-AERv1.0
(2018)We evaluate how the coupled aerosol–chemistry– climate model SOCOL-AERv1.0 represents the influence of the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo on stratospheric aerosol properties and atmospheric state. The aerosol module is ... -
Conservation genetics of two threatened frogs from the Mambilla highlands, Nigeria
(2018)Amphibians are the vertebrate group with the highest number of species threatened with extinction, and habitat loss and fragmentation are considered to be among the leading causes of their declines and extinctions. Little ... -
Environmental Enrichment Elicits a Transient Rise of Bioactive C-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Young but Not Aged Rats
(2018)Beneficial molecular and neuroplastic changes have been demonstrated in response to environmental enrichment (EE) in laboratory animals across the lifespan. Here, we investigated whether these effects extend to C-type ... -
An analysis of lifejacket wear, environmental factors, and casualty activity on marine accident fatality rates
(2018)Drowning and fatalities at sea are a large concern globally. In the UK, many sea rescues are performed by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and this study investigates 6 years’ worth of their rescue data to better ... -
X-Shaped Bulge Preferred Over Dark Matter in the Galactic Center Gamma-Ray Excess
(https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.06644, 2018)© 2018 The Author(s). An anomalous gamma-ray excess emission has been found in the Fermi Large Area Telescope data1covering the centre of the Galaxy2,3. Several theories have been proposed for this 'Galactic centre excess'. ... -
Surviving well together
(Tui Motu InterIslands Magazine, 2018)KELLY DOMBROSKI and STEPHEN HEALY describe a community economies approach to poverty which seeks to acknowledge what people are already doing in their communities to sustain themselves and then to act in solidarity with them. -
Seismic vulnerability assessment of residential buildings using logistic regression and geographic information system (GIS) in Pleret Sub District (Yogyakarta, Indonesia)
(2017)Background: The Southeast of Yogyakarta City has had the heaviest damages to buildings in the 2006 of Yogyakarta Earthquake disaster. A moderate to strong earthquake of 6.3 Mw shook the 20 km southeast part of the Yogyakarta ...
