Farmer perceptions of climate variability, adaptation practices, and livelihood implications in the Garhwal Himalaya
How are Himalayan farmers responding to climate variability? Our recent study from the Garhwal Himalaya combines climate records with household surveys to examine farmer perceptions, adaptation strategies, and their implications for livelihoods and resilience.
Regime shift in Arctic Ocean N biogeochemistry
Sea ice loss in the Arctic Ocean has increased light availability leading to increased productivity but this relationship has changed. We identify a regime shift toward nutrient limitation, driven by a decline in nitrate levels linked to enhanced benthic denitrification on shallow Arctic shelves.
Influence of Sintering Temperature on Judd–Ofelt Parameters and Emission Properties of Y₁.₉₆Al₀.₀₄O₃:Eu³⁺ Phosphor for n-UV Excited Red Emission Applications

Seeing the hidden architecture of environmental interfaces by bioCP-SEM
How can we observe roots, microbes and soil particles together without disrupting their spatial relationships? This post shares the story behind bioCP-SEM, a workflow that combines biological electron microscopy with cross-sectional polishing to visualize intact plant–microbe–soil interfaces.
Increasing successive sudden stratospheric warmings linked to Arctic sea ice decline
Winter Arctic stratosphere is usually dominated by a strong polar vortex that helps to isolate cold air over the polar region. Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) represent a dramatic breakdown of this vortex. New evidence shows increasing successive SSWs are linked to the declined sea ice trend.
