Eccentric planets may spend a significant portion of their orbits at large distances from their host stars, where low temperatures can cause atmospheric CO to condense out onto the surface, similar to the polar ice caps on Mars. The radiative effects on the climates of these planets throughout their orbits would depend on the wavelength-dependent albedo of surface CO ice that may accumulate at or near apoastron and vary according to the spectral energy distribution of the host star. To explore these possible effects, we incorporated a CO ice-albedo parameterization into a one-dimensional energy balance climate model.

United Nations, the Struggle for Gender Equity, and Queering Global Science.

OMICS

January 2025

OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology, New Rochelle, New York, USA.

UN Women is the United Nations "entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women". UN Women is an example of the institutions of global governance that followed the gender turn in women's rights over the past 2 decades. This opinion commentary unpacks a brief history of UN Women, and the ongoing disparities in gender diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in science, engineering, and medicine, not to mention in science communication, with the aim to shed light on the adverse impacts of gender essentialism and gender binary.

Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN USA.

Severe convective storms and tornadoes rank among nature's most hazardous phenomena, inflicting significant property damage and casualties. Near-surface weather conditions are closely governed by large-scale synoptic patterns. It is crucial to delve into the involved multiscale associations to understand tornado potential in response to climate change.

Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking Performance Characterization in Cislunar Relay Communication Architecture.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Phillip M. Drayer Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Lamar University, Beaumont, TX 77710, USA.

Future 7G/8G networks are expected to integrate both terrestrial Internet and space-based networks. Space networks, including inter-planetary Internet such as cislunar and deep-space networks, will become an integral part of future 7G/8G networks. Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication networks will also be a significant component of 7G/8G networks.
