Application of copper(II)-based chemicals induces CH3Br and CH3Cl emissions from soil and seawater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Methyl bromide (CH3Br) and methyl chloride (CH3Cl) are major carriers of atmospheric bromine and chlorine, respectively, which can catalyze stratospheric ozone depletion. However, in our current understanding, there are ... -
Temporal Variability of Surface Reflectance Supersedes Spatial Resolution in Defining Greenland’s Bare-Ice Albedo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ice surface albedo is a primary modulator of melt and runoff, yet our understanding of how reflectance varies over time across the Greenland Ice Sheet remains poor. This is due to a disconnect between point or transect ... -
The Dynamics of Profitability among Salmon Farmers—A Highly Volatile and Highly Profitable Sector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Salmon farming stands out from many other industries with its very high profitability, but it is also highly volatile. The main question is whether the profit of individual firms is stable, or whether profitable firms ... -
Multi-Temporal Satellite Image Composites in Google Earth Engine for Improved Landslide Visibility: A Case Study of a Glacial Landscape
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Regional early warning systems for landslides rely on historic data to forecast future events and to verify and improve alarms. However, databases of landslide events are often spatially biased towards roads or other ... -
