Response of CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> emissions from Arctic tundra soils to a multifactorial manipulation of water table, temperature and thaw depth
(IOP Publishing, 2023-12-01)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Significant uncertainties persist concerning how Arctic soil tundra carbon emission responds to environmental changes. In this study, 24 cores were sampled from ... -
Shipwrecks act as de facto Marine Protected Areas in areas of heavy fishing pressure
(Wiley, 2024-02)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Ubiquitous, industrial use of bottom‐towed fishing gear since the 1800s has altered marine communities and ecosystem services. Outside of legal protection, only areas inaccessible ... -
Microplastic transport and deposition in a beach-dune system (Saunton Sands-Braunton Burrows, southwest England)
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2024-01)Although microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants that have been extensively studied in the marine setting, there remain gaps in our understanding of their transport and fate in the coastal zone. In this study, MPs ... -

Determination of hybrid charmonium meson masses
(Sissa MedialabThe 38th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (LATTICE2021), 2022-05-16)We report initial results from our study of the masses and decay constants of the lightest multiplet of charmonium-like hybrid mesons. We obtain precise measurements of the 1−+ state through the use of a variational basis ... -
Modeling Low Energy Demand Futures for Buildings: Current State and Research Needs
(Annual Reviews, 2023-11-13)<jats:p> Buildings are key in supporting human activities and well-being by providing shelter and other important services to their users. Buildings are, however, also responsible for major energy use and greenhouse gas ... -
