Reconstruction of historical sea surface temperature using empirical orthogonal functions.
A thick sediment fan at the base of the hill buried and preserved a historical soil surface, archaeological artifacts, and woody debris datable by dendrochronology.
This research highlights that historical glacier surface topography can be extracted from archive oblique aerial imagery, but accuracy is limited by issues including the lack of camera calibration, the quality and resolution of the archive imagery, and by the identification of suitable ground control.
Following optimization trials of the picosecond laser cleaning parameters on model leather samples, satisfactory removal of the soiling over the historical leather surface is achieved.
We compared temporal changes in distribution of the canopy-forming alga Fucus vesiculosus with historical sea surface temperature (SST) patterns to draw links between range shifts and contemporary climate change.
To demonstrate the value of historical glacier surfaces produced using oblique archive imagery, the reconstructed glacier surface topography is used to investigate evidence of a potential former surge front at the high-Arctic valley glacier, Austre Lovénbreen — a glacier identified to have potentially exhibited surge-type behaviour during the Neoglacial.
This research demonstrates the potential of SfM-MVS for reconstructing historical glacier surfaces, which is important for aiding our understanding of former glacier dynamics and enabling the rapid assessment of glacier change over time.
It provides the first-ever estimates of long historical near-surface to tropopause level 6-hourly fields of weather variables and derived quantities (e.g., storm tracks) extending back into the 19th Century plus additional estimates of uncertainties, via a 56 member ensemble of realizations at each 6-hourly time step.
This overview sketches the historical development of surface science through nanoscience toward nanotechnology.
