Ocean bottom pressure (pb) is critical for monitoring and understanding ocean variability, yet global observations from GRACE and GRACE Follow-On suffer from limited spatiotemporal coverage. State estimation methods allow for the dynamical interpolation of sparse data by optimally combining observations with models. Here we examine the effects of assimilating GRACE data (local pb anomalies and global mean), along with other da...

Quaternary tufa carbonates from Brazil’s Potiguar Basin provide unique insights into the interplay of biogenic, hydrological, and climatic factors driving continental carbonate precipitation in tropical low-energy environments. This study systematically characterizes the depositional, taphonomic, and diagenetic features of the tufa deposits resulting from the dissolution of rocks from the Formação Jandaíra that overlie the lit...

Aims We aimed to provide a molecular phylogeny of all currently known and described Labiotermes species to clarify taxonomic relationships, including the synonymy of Paracornitermes , in order to reconstruct the historical biogeography of the genus and investigate the role of specific biogeographic domains in its diversification. Location South America. Taxon Termite genus Labiotermes (Isoptera: Termitidae). Methods A dated Ba...

The influence of intrinsic ocean variability on coastal sea level remains largely unexplored but is of potential importance for emerging forecasting efforts. As in weather forecasts, intrinsic variability will amplify uncertainty in initial conditions. However, variability originating from intrinsic processes may be predictable in a forecast system with sufficient resolution and accurate initialization. Here, we examine the sp...

Cognitive decline is a major non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD), often linked to brain atrophy. This study examines the relationship between cortical atrophy and age groups in predicting cognitive decline in PD over five years. 188 PD patients from the COPPADIS cohort were stratified by age: young (30–55 years, N = 47), middle-aged (56–65 years, N = 59), and older adults (66–75 years, N = 82). Baseline cortical volu...

● This abstract summarizes the results of two expert consultations conducted to gather insights into effective communication and engagement strategies in recreational fisheries. ● Effective science communication fosters knowledge, understanding, and trust in both science and management decisions. ● Public involvement and stakeholder engagement are essential for effective management. ● Simplifying complex research findings and...
