Time‐of‐Arrival of Coronal Mass Ejections: A Two‐Phase Kinematics Approach Based on Heliospheric Imaging Observations by Evangelos Paouris, Angelos Vourlidas

“…We replace the assumption of constant speed in the inner heliosphere with a two‐phase behavior consisting of a decelerating (or accelerating) phase from 20 Rs to some distance, followed by a coasting phase to Earth. In a nod toward a forecasting scheme, we consider Earth‐directed CMEs, use kinematic measurements only from the Heliospheric Imagers aboard both STEREO spacecraft, treat each spacecraft separately to increase the event statistics, analyze the measurements in a data‐assimilative fashion, and intercompare them against three localization schemes for single viewpoint observations (fixed‐φ, harmonic mean and self‐similar expansion). …”

American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) as wetland ecosystem carbon stock regulators by Christopher M. Murray, Tyler Steven Coleman, Wray Gabel, Ken W. Krauss

“…We used soil core profile data from the Smithsonian’s Coastal Carbon Network and filtered for continuous core profiles in tidally influenced wetland areas along the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts of the United States. Results indicate that American alligator presence is positively correlated with soil carbon stock across habitats within their native distribution. …”

Temporal and Spatial eDNA Analysis of Fish Assemblages in Postindustrial, Urban Coastal Habitats by Alice Cunnington, Erika Neave, Peter Shum, Rupert Collins, Stefano Mariani

“…In this study, we utilized eDNA metabarcoding to investigate temporal and spatial trends in fish assemblages within urban coastal habitats between the Dee and Mersey estuaries (United Kingdom), historically one of the most anthropogenically impacted postindustrial coasts in the world. Over a 12‐month period, we conducted nine water sampling trips at two locations: the Albert Docks in central Liverpool, and the Marine Lake in West Kirby. …”

“Great Flood-Gates of the Wonder World”: Baptisms of Water and Fire in Melville and Hawthorne by Ariel Clark Silver

“…Like Ishmael in Moby-Dick, Melville wishes to “sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts” (Moby-Dick 8). As Mary Bryden asserts, “the sea is the fluid medium, the agency, the culture” (107) through which Melville explores the philosophical depths and searches for elusive truth. …”

Simulating the ENSO impact on the distribution and fate of floating litter particles in the Northern South China Sea by Ke Pang, Ke Pang, Ke Pang, Yang Feng, Yang Feng, Yang Feng, Youchang Zheng, Youchang Zheng, Youchang Zheng, Chao Fang, Xiangrong Xu, Xiangrong Xu

“…After crossing the Strait, the debris is carried by the counterclockwise circulation of the Beibu Gulf, and eventually arriving at the coasts of Vietnam and Laos. The ENSO warm (El Niño) and cold (La Niña) phases disrupt circulation patterns and modulate the amount of Pearl River runoff, thereby altering the transport pathways and grounding probabilities of floating litter. …”

Study on the Development Level, Spatial Differences and Obstacle Factors of Agricultural Modernization—Taking Cities and Counties in Hainan Province as An Example by Yiwen MA, Xiaojun XU

“…From the perspective of regional development, the level of agricultural modernization in the eastern, central, and western regions of Hainan Province and within the regions is unbalanced, presenting a spatial development pattern of "low in central hilly areas and high in cities and counties along the east and west coasts", which reflects differences among regions in terms of economic development level, geographical location, transportation, resource endowment, and other aspects; from the perspective of obstacle factors, the main factors affecting the level of agricultural modernization development in Hainan Province are the guaranteed yield rate of drought and flood, effective electromechanical irrigation rate, expenditures on agricultural, forestry and water affairs, and coverage rate of modern facility agriculture.…”
