Effects of stratospheric ozone recovery on photochemistry and ozone air quality in the troposphere
In this study, the authors examine the implications of stratospheric ozone recovery for the tropospheric chemistry and ozone air quality with a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem). [ Read more ]
Little Ice Age climate reconstruction from ensemble reanalysis of Alpine glacier fluctuations
Here the author analyses terminus position histories from an ensemble of seven glaciers in the Alps with a macroscopic model of glacier dynamics to derive a history of glacier equilibrium line altitude for the time span 400–2010 C.E. [ Read more ]
Earthquake-induced ground failures in Italy from a reviewed database
A database of earthquake-induced ground failures in Italy is presented, and the related content is analysed. The catalogue collects data regarding landslides, liquefaction, ground cracks, surface faulting and ground changes triggered by earthquakes of Mercalli epicentral intensity 8 or greater that occurred in the last millennium in Italy.

Fracture-induced softening for large-scale ice dynamics
To account for the macroscopic effect of fracture processes on large-scale viscous ice dynamics (i.e., ice-shelf scale), the authors apply a continuum representation of fractures and related fracture growth into the prognostic Parallel Ice Sheet Model and compare the results to observations.
