Tourism to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ), site of the 1986 Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident, has increased each year since the government began allowing tourist groups to access the CEZ. Nevertheless, little guidance is available to a tourist as to what risks they may encounter and whether their visit...
In a subduction zone, the volcanic arc marks the location where magma, generated via flux melting in the mantle wedge, migrates through the crust and erupts. While the location of deep magma broadly defines the arc position, here we argue that crustal structures, identified in geophysical data from the Washington...
Juvenile salmonids display highly variable spatial and temporal patterns of early dispersal that are influenced by density-dependent and density-independent factors.
Although juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) movement patterns in streams and their relationship with body mass and growth have been examined in previous studies, most observations were limited to one...
To test the utility of otolith chemical composition as a tool for determining the natal stream of origin for salmon, we examined water chemistry and otoliths of juvenile and adult Chum Salmon Oncorhynchus keta and Coho Salmon O. kisutch from three watersheds (five rivers) in the Norton Sound region of...
We present a novel approach based on fibre-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) to measure the two-dimensional thermal structure of the surface layer at high resolution (0.25 m, ≈ 0.5 Hz). Air temperature observations obtained from a vertically oriented fibre optics array of approximate dimensions 8 m x 8 m and...
Melt inclusions trapped in phenocryst phases are important primarily due to their potential of preserving a significant proportion of the diversity of magma composition prior to modification of the parent magma array during transport through the crust. The goal of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of formational and...
Invasions have increased the size of regional species pools, but are typically assumed to reduce native diversity.
However, global-scale tests of this assumption have been elusive because of the focus on exotic species richness,
rather than relative abundance. This is problematic because low invader richness can indicate invasion resistance by...

Ice-free cryopreservation, known as vitrification, is an appealing approach for banking of adherent cells and tissues because it prevents dissociation and morphological damage that may result from ice crystal formation. However, current vitrification methods are often limited by the cytotoxicity of the concentrated cryoprotective agent (CPA) solutions that are required...
