Self-Affine Scaling of Earth's Islands
Matthew Oline, Jeremy Hoskins, David Seekell +2
Earth's relief is approximately self-affine, meaning a zoom-in on a small region looks statistically similar to a large region upon rescaling. Fractional Brownian surfaces give an…
A flow-kick model of dryland vegetation patterns: the impact of rainfall variability on resilience
Punit Gandhi, Matthew Oline, Mary Silber
In many drylands around the globe, vegetation self-organizes into regular spatial patterns in response to aridity stress. We consider the regularly-spaced vegetation bands, on gent…
Critical percolation threshold restricts late-summer Arctic sea ice melt pond coverage
Predrag Popović, Mary C. Silber, Dorian S. Abbot
During the summer, vast regions of Arctic sea ice are covered by meltwater ponds that significantly lower the ice reflectivity and accelerate melting. Ponds develop over the melt s…
Snow topography on undeformed Arctic sea ice captured by an idealized "snow dune" model
Predrag Popović, Justin Finkel, Mary C. Silber +1
Our ability to predict the future of Arctic sea ice is limited by ice's sensitivity to detailed surface conditions such as the distribution of snow and melt ponds. Snow on top of t…
A Pulsed-Precipitation Model of Dryland Vegetation Pattern Formation
Punit Gandhi, Lily Liu, Mary Silber
We develop a model for investigating the impact of rainstorm variability on the formation of banded vegetation patterns in dryland ecosystems. Water input, during rare rainstorms,…
A Fast-Slow Model of Banded Vegetation Pattern Formation in Drylands
Punit Gandhi, Sara Bonetti, Sarah Iams +2
From infiltration of water into the soil during rainstorms to seasonal plant growth and death, the ecohydrological processes that are thought to be relevant to the formation of ban…
