Fiber optic-based magnetostrictive sensor for monitoring pipe wall thickness

This article presents a novel sensor concept for continuous long-term monitoring of pipe or tank wall thickness that is based on strain measurements in a magnetostrictive material. The proposed sensor detects wall thinning in pipes or tanks by monitoring magnetic flux leakage (MF...

Anatomy and impact of a high Arctic atmospheric river driving extreme winter rain and snowfall

Abstract. Atmospheric rivers (ARs) transport concentrated fluxes of heat and moisture poleward, driving temperature and precipitation extremes. Yet, their vertical structure in the High Arctic – where small thermodynamic perturbations govern rain-snow partitioning and cryospheric...

Efficacy of mitigation translocation from Anchorage, Alaska airfields for short-eared owls and red-tailed hawks

Abstract Background Mitigation translocation is widely used at airfields to reduce wildlife-aircraft strike risk, yet few studies have evaluated its effectiveness for raptors, and none have been conducted in Alaska. We assessed post-release return rates for red-tailed hawks ( But...
