Numerical Analysis of Triaxial Tests for Interpreting Sample Stiffness with Existing Measurement SystemsNARA Subscribed
This paper presents the first systematic numerical study employing a realistic elasto-plastic non-linear soil model to examine factors affecting the measurement of soil stiffness at low to intermediate strains in the triaxial apparatus. The study is motivated by the development of new image-based measurement techniques for triaxial testing. The results from numerical simulations are presented that quantify the influence on sam...
Effects of meteorological and land surface modeling uncertainty on errors in winegrape ET calculated with SIMSNARA Subscribed
Characterization of model errors is important when applying satellite-driven evapotranspiration (ET) models to water resource management problems. This study examines how uncertainty in meteorological forcing data and land surface modeling propagate through to errors in final ET data calculated using the Satellite Irrigation Management Support (SIMS) model, a computationally efficient ET model driven with satellite surface ref...
The physical and chemical changes that accompany permafrost thaw directly influence the microbial communities that mediate the decomposition of formerly frozen organic matter, leading to uncertainty in permafrost–climate feedbacks. Although changes to microbial metabolism and community structure are documented following thaw, the generality of post‐thaw assembly patterns across permafrost soils of the world remains uncertain,...
Marine protected areas (MPAs), particularly large MPAs, are increasing in number and size around the globe in part to facilitate the conservation of marine megafauna under the assumption that large-scale MPAs better align with vagile life histories; however, this alignment is not well established. Using a global tracking dataset from 36 species across five taxa, chosen to reflect the span of home range size in highly mobile ma...
Mobile marine species can exhibit vast movements both horizontally and vertically. Spatial analysis of vertical movements may help improve an understanding of the processes that influence space use. Previously, vertical space use of basking sharks ( Cetorhinus maximus ) in the north-east Atlantic described movements largely within waters of the continental shelf during summer and autumn months, with few records of detailed ver...
Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community‐led open‐source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal...
Large‐scale, multidirectional larval connectivity among coral reef fish populations in the Great Barrier Reef Marine ParkNARA Subscribed
Larval dispersal is the key process by which populations of most marine fishes and invertebrates are connected and replenished. Advances in larval tagging and genetics have enhanced our capacity to track larval dispersal, assess scales of population connectivity, and quantify larval exchange among no‐take marine reserves and fished areas. Recent studies have found that reserves can be a significant source of recruits for popul...
