Background Resilience in aging—the capacity to maintain cognition and function despite neuropathology—has been described through cognitive reserve, brain reserve, and maintenance. The dynamic Neurocognitive Adaptation (dNA) framework expands these constructs by defining resilience as a lifelong process of adaptive engagement across cognitive, physical, creative, and social domains that shape neural integrity and cognitive outc...
In 1995, the first of a nearly continuous sequence of biophysical moorings was deployed at a site (M2) on the southeastern Bering Sea shelf. Over the next 15 years, 10 additional mooring sites were initiated. The resultant long-term biophysical mooring array extends over 1,800 km from the southern Bering Sea to the northern Chukchi Sea, covering most of the US Arctic. It provides a full range of oceanographic data for research...
Observing Extreme Ocean and Weather Events Using Innovative Saildrone Uncrewed Surface VehiclesOA Marine
Extreme ocean events and severe weather systems have large environmental impacts but are under-observed due to their harsh conditions and associated challenges with deployments of in situ observing platforms. Through a public-private partnership, the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) has developed the Saildrone uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) into a viable air-sea interaction observing platform that can be uti...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Effective data management plays a key role in oceanographic research as cruise-based data, collected from different laboratories and expeditions, are commonly compiled to investigate regional to global oceanographic processes. Here we describe new and updated best practice data standards for discrete chemical oceanographic observations, specifically those dealing with column header abbreviations, quality control flags, missing...
More high-quality, in situ observations of essential marine variables are needed over the seasonal ice zone to better understand Arctic (or Antarctic) weather, climate, and ecosystems. To better assess the potential for arrays of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) to provide such observations, five wind-driven and solar-powered saildrones were sailed into the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas following the 2019 seasonal retreat of sea i...
I ntergovernmental P anel on C limate C hange ( IPCC ) T ier 1 methodologies commonly underpin project‐scale carbon accounting for changes in land use and management and are used in frameworks for L ife C ycle A ssessment and carbon footprinting of food and energy crops. These methodologies were intended for use at large spatial scales. This can introduce error in predictions at finer spatial scales. There is an urgent need fo...
