A spatio-temporal analysis of trends in Northern Hemisphere seasonal snow-cover, 1971-2017
Digital Document
A spatio-temporal analysis of trends in Northern Hemisphere seasonal snow-cover, 1971-2017
Seasonal snow-cover (SSC) substantially alters surface physical properties over the Northern Hemisphere (NH). It modulates processes within the energy and water cycles, thereby influencing climatology, hydrology, geomorphology and ecology. In spring…

Moose responses to anthropogenic disturbance across a range of spatial scales: Diet, habitat use, and movement
Habitat loss and climate change are two of the leading causes of the global decline of biodiversity. Declines in the abundance of moose (Alces americanus) in British Columbia, Canada, in the 2000s were hypothesized to result from an interaction…
