title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - King - Train Trailhead Update - TSME - ITRDB CAN728

description: Extreme summer temperatures are increasingly common across the Northern Hemisphere and inflict severe socioeconomic and biological consequences. In summer 2021, the Pacific Northwest region of North America (PNW) experienced a 2-week-long extreme heatwave, which contributed to record-breaking summer temperatures. Here, we use tree-ring records to show that summer temperatures in 2021, as well as the rate of summertime warming during the last several decades, are unprecedented within the context of the last millennium for the PNW. In the absence of committed efforts to curtail anthropogenic emissions below intermediate levels (SSP2–4.5), climate model projections indicate a rapidly increasing risk of the PNW regularly experiencing 2021-like extreme summer temperatures, with a 50% chance of yearly occurrence by 2050. The 2021 summer temperatures experienced across the PNW provide a benchmark and impetus for communities in historically temperate climates to account for extreme heat-related impacts in climate change adaptation strategies.

title: A maturity assessment model for metal additive manufacturing: additive manufacturing readiness levels

description: Despite many promises, metal additive manufacturing (MAM) adoption is still limited within the industry. To effectively and successfully implement MAM, companies need to assess their maturity status quo, combined with the MAM technology maturity, at both organisational and operational levels. However, existing maturity models (MMs) are either only dedicated to just one of these levels or are not adapted to MAM. Thus, this paper proposes an original and tailored MM: the Additive Manufacturing Readiness Levels (AMRL), a multicriteria MM to evaluate the maturity of a MAM technology coupled with a use case, offering a context-aware approach that bridges technological capability and operational applicability. The model features 8 dimensions, divided into 22 sub-items to be assessed, referring to Industry 5.0 pillars, including environmental and social considerations. To develop and validate the proposal, an iterative methodology is followed where the AMRL is applied to compare the maturity of three Directed Energy Deposition technologies coupled with nine use cases in the context of a French Technology Transfer Centre. Direct interviews with experts and measures of agreement granted validation. AMRL aims to contribute to the adoption of MAM by assisting decision makers. Future research could investigate its use in different industry sectors and decision configurations.

title: How Visible Are the Valley Slopes in the City? A Viewshed Analysis in the Urban Agglomeration of Liège

description: Valley slope is a cultural and ecological resource of many cities that has gained attention in recent decades. Even if valley slopes are the background of numerous cities, they are scarcely considered by viewshed analysis. In urban areas, the focus is on the visibility of individual biotic or abiotic elements, such as trees or buildings, assessing the impact of isolated components rather than understanding the place’s topography. This contribution experiments with valley slope viewshed analysis through a case study of Liège’s urban agglomeration. We propose a methodology articulated through the combination of geographic information systems mapping, statistical analysis, and photographic survey to address gaps related to the identification of valley slopes’ visibility in an urban agglomeration and to investigate the elements of urban form that influence its visibility. The research highlights different degrees of valley slope visibility and different ways of urban form influencing it.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - North fire data from Meeks Creek Riparian/upland - IMPD USME_001

description: Fire is an important ecological process in many western U.S. coniferous forests, yet high fuel loads, rural home construction and other factors have encouraged the suppression of most wildfires. Using mechanical thinning and prescribed burning, land managers often try to reduce fuels in strategic areas with the highest fuel loads. Riparian forests, however, are often designated as areas where only limited management action can take place within a fixed-width zone. These highly productive forests have developed heavy fuel loads capable of supporting stand-replacing crown fires that can alter wildlife habitat and ecosystem function, and contribute to stream channel erosion. Objectives of this study were to determine whether adjacent coniferous riparian and upland forests burned historically with different frequencies and seasonalities, and whether these relationships varied by forest, site, and stream characteristics. We measured dendrochronological fire records in adjacent riparian and upland areas across a variety of forest, site and stream conditions at 36 sites in three sampling areas in the northern Sierra Nevada.  Riparian fire return intervals (FRI) ranged from 8.4 to 42.3 years under a liberal filter (mean 16.6), and 10.0 to 86.5 years under a conservative filter (mean 30.0). Upland FRI ranged from 6.1 to 58.0 years under a liberal filter (mean 16.9), and 10.0 to 56.3 years under a conservative filter (mean 27.8). Riparian and upland fire return intervals were significantly different in only one quarter of the sites we sampled. Riparian and upland areas did not burn with different seasonalities, and fire events occurred primarily during the late summer-early fall dormant season in both riparian and upland areas (88% and 79% of scars, respectively). FRI was shorter in forests with a higher proportion (>22.7-37.6%) of fire-tolerant pine(Pinus spp.), sites east of the Sierra crest, lower elevation sites (<1944 m), and riparian zones bordering narrower, more incised streams (width/depth ratio <6.2). Upland areas exhibited a greater degree of fire-climate synchrony than riparian areas. Our study suggests that Sierra Nevada coniferous riparian forests bordering many montane streams might be managed for fuel loads and fire return intervals similar to adjacent upland forests.

title: A Guide for Preparing and Reporting Qualitative Research

description: The preparation and reporting of qualitative research require transparent values and consistent procedures to produce well-crafted, credible results. Such transparent reporting is especially important in the context of epistemic pluralism, as it aids in explicating theoretical commitments and their methodological implications. To this end, this article develops a guide—called the Q-Guide—comprising fifteen dimensions for preparing and reporting qualitative research, grounded in the three values of review, reflexivity, and responsibility. It considers three established guides for reporting qualitative research in the social sciences and adapts them to methodological debates in different language traditions in geography to propose the Q-Guide. The Q-Guide provides a systematic framework of aspects to consider in preparing and reporting qualitative research. The article provides the Q-Guide as a downloadable tool and two examples of its application to guide methods reporting (Supplemental Material). Adoption of the Q-Guide supports more consistent and transparent methods reporting, enabling more reflexive and responsible research.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - North fire data from Bristlecone - IMPD USBCP002

description: There have been few fire history studies of eastern Sierra Nevada forests in California, USA, where a steep elevation gradient, rain shadow conditions, and forest stand isolation may produce different fire regimes than those found on the range's western slope. We investigated historic fire regimes and potential climate influences on four forest types ranging in elevation from 1700 m to 3200 m on the Sierra Nevada's eastern slope and the White Mountains' western slope. Sample areas (approximately 15 ha to 45 ha) had mean site fire return intervals ranging from 4.8 yr to 16.9 yr across ten Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi Balf.) sites, and 13.4 yr to 45.7 yr across four high elevation lodgepole (P. contorta Douglas ex Louden), foxtail (P. balfouriana Balf.) and bristlecone (P. longaeva D.K. Bailey) pine sites. At most sites (13 of 14), >50 % of fire events occurred in late or dormant season wood. Twentieth century fire return intervals increased at some sites, while other sites continued to record frequent fire events into the 1950s. Years where two or more sites recorded fire events on two or more trees were correlated with drought conditions forecast by the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) in our sample locations at and north of Mammoth Lakes. The lower Sierra Nevada crest due west of these locations may connect weather patterns with western slope conditions more than at our southern eastside sample sites, which were not significantly correlated with PDSI. Our results suggest eastern Sierra Nevada Jeffrey pine forests have similar seasonality and fire return intervals as some western slope forests, but site fire history can be influenced by stand isolation, historical use, and local rain shadow conditions.
