TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed snow avalanches, snow accumulation, and snow ablation patterns to assess their impact on the three-dimensional position, composition, and spatial structure of the Alpine Treeline Ecotone (ATE) in a portion of Glacier National Park, USA.

TL;DR: In this article, the complex patterns of alpine treeline across an extensive area of Glacier National Park, Montana were quantified using satellite image classification, digital terrain modeling, and geographic information system (GIS) measurements of landscape structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of coastal wind turbines on local coastal tourism and recreation for residents of the northeastern coastal counties in North Carolina, and found very little impact of wind farms on aggregate recreational visitation; loss in annual consumer surplus associated with wide-spread wind development in the coastal zone is insignificant at $17 (or about 1.5% of annual consumers surplus).

TL;DR: This research presents a pilot study on creating a feasible environmental health information infrastructure that integrates databases, decision-making tools, geographic information systems for supporting public health service and policy making.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a method to experimentally characterize the significance of hydroelasticity for slamming loaded marine panels, based on a large number of systematical experiments of slamming loaded panels from which semi-empiric expressions for the pressure distributions are derived.
