Stability analysis of ice crystal orientation
The stability of ice crystal orientation is studied by modeling the airflow around ice crystals at moderate Reynolds number, where an ice crystal is approximated by a cylinder...- publication PDF

Empirical and process-based approaches to climate-induced forest mortality models
Globally, forests store ∼45% of carbon sequestered terrestrially, contribute more to the terrestrial sink per area than any other land cover type, and assimilate an important...- publication PDF

Terrestrial and marine perspectives on modeling organic matter degradation pathways
Organic matter (OM) plays a major role in both terrestrial and oceanic biogeochemical cycles. The amount of carbon stored in these systems is far greater than that of carbon...- publication PDF

Volcanic radiative forcing from 1979 to 2015
Using volcanic sulfur dioxide emissions in an aerosol-climate model, we derive a time series of global-mean volcanic effective radiative forcing (ERF) from 1979 to 2015. For...- publication PDF
