Observations of drainage network change in a recently burned watershed using terrestrial laser scanning Observations of drainage network change in a recently burned watershed using terrestrial laser scanning
Wildfire enhances the geomorphic response of a watershed to precipitation events, effectively altering the form of the hillslope and channel drainage network. Typically, drainage networks expand following rainfall on a recently burned watershed. Expansion of drainage networks following wildfire increases in erosion and sediment transport rates, and the probability of flash-flooding and...

Estimating structural dip from gravity and magnetic profile data Estimating structural dip from gravity and magnetic profile data
The anomalies of ideal sources, dipping magnetic contacts and dipping density sheets, provide the theoretical basis for estimating structural dip from gravity and magnetic profile data. The dip is always related to the local phase angle of a complex analytic signal evaluated directly over the source. For magnetic sheets, the complex analytic signal is constructed from the anomaly and its...

Evidence of mating readiness in certain bats killed by wind turbines Evidence of mating readiness in certain bats killed by wind turbines
Bats consistently die at wind turbines during late-summer and autumn. Migratory, tree-roosting species show increased susceptibility compared to other bats, yet the exact causes remain unknown. A hypothesized cause with strong conservation implications is that migratory tree bats die at turbines while seeking mates around tall tree like structures. In this pilot study we histologically...
