Fire suppression is the primary management response to wildfires in many areas globally. By removing less-extreme wildfires, this approach ensures that remaining wildfires burn under more extreme conditions. Here, we term this the “suppression bias” and use a simulation model to highlight how this bias fundamentally impacts wildfire activity, independent of fuel accumulation and climate change. We illustrate how attempting to suppress all wildfires necessarily means that fires will burn with …

Restoring tree cover changes albedo, which is the fraction of sunlight reflected from the Earth’s surface. In most locations, these changes in albedo offset or even negate the carbon removal benefits with the latter leading to global warming. Previous efforts to quantify the global climate mitigation benefit of restoring tree cover have not accounted robustly for albedo given a lack of spatially explicit data. Here we produce maps that show that carbon-only estimates may be up to 81% too high…

Authors: Anna Boser, K. K. Caylor, Ashley Larsen, Madeleine Pascolini‐Campbell, J. T. Reager, Tamma Carleton

Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-46031-2 · Citations: 36

Matched topics: water management

Efficiently managing agricultural irrigation is vital for food security today and into the future under climate change. Yet, evaluating agriculture’s hydrological impacts and strategies to reduce them remains challenging due to a lack of field-scale data on crop water consumption. Here, we develop a method to fill this gap using remote sensing and machine learning, and leverage it to assess water saving strategies in California’s Central Valley. We find that switching to lower water intensity…

Abstract In this study, the resistive switching phenomenon and synaptic mimicry characteristics of an indium tin oxide (ITO)/indium zinc oxide (IZO)/Al 2 O 3 /TaN device are characterized. The insertion of a thin Al 2 O 3 layer via atomic layer deposition improves the resistive switching characteristics such as cycle‐to‐cycle and device‐to‐device uniformity and reduces the power consumption of the proposed device with respect to a single‐layer ITO/IZO/TaN device. The proposed device exhibits …

Authors: Aleksi Isoaho, Lauri Ikkala, Lassi Päkkilä, Hannu Marttila, Santtu Kareksela, Aleksi Räsänen

Journal: Remote Sensing of Environment · DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2024.114144 · Citations: 29

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model

Remote sensing (RS) has been suggested as a tool to spatially monitor the status of peatland ecosystem functioning after restoration. However, there have been only a few studies in which post-restoration hydrological changes have been quantified with RS-based modelling. To address this gap, we developed an approach to assess post-restoration spatiotemporal changes in the peatland water table (WT) with optical (Sentinel-2 and Landsat 7–9) and radar (Sentinel-1) imagery. We tested the approach …

Abstract Systematic errors in regional climate models (RCMs) hinder their implementation and lead to uncertainties in regional hydrological climate change studies. As a result, checking the accuracy of climate model simulations and applying bias correction are preliminary methods for achieving consistent findings. Therefore, identifying suitable RCM models for bias correction is important for providing reliable inputs for evaluating climate change impacts. The impacts of bias correction metho…
