Biologging science: advances in our knowledge of seabirds and their behaviours Open
The use of miniature tags attached to free-living animals to record data is termed
\n‘biologging’. This procedure has been used to study seabirds since the 1970’s and our
\nknowledge of their behaviour, physiology and migration has advance…

Designer-length palladium nanowires can be templated by the central channel of tobacco mosaic virus nanorods Open
We have developed methods for the templated synthesis of palladium nanowires (Pd NWs) within the central channel of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) nanorods of various lengths. We show that uniform 4 nm diameter Pd NWs can be produced by select…

Mapping and quantification of proglacial landscape changes based on time-series of UAV surveys: A case study of a temperate glacial landsystem of Fjallsjökull/Hrútárjökull, SE Iceland Open
<p>Modern glaciers and processes operating within their foreland are often used as analogues to infer past glacial conditions and interpret dating results. As such, an important research question is how glacial landforms changed over…
