Bloom dynamics of K. mikimotoi during summer 2015 in the Yatsushiro Sea, Japan, which caused fish mortality was studied using field survey data and satellite data. The bloom initially formed in the western area, subsequently appeared in the southern area, and finally expanded to the central area. The field-survey detected the horizontal displacement of the bloom which was also assessed by satellite data. Acoustic backscattering intensity of the current meter captured the modulation of the diurnal vertical migration of K. mikimotoi. After the modulation, K. mikimotoi distributed at a shallower depth in the nighttime than the period prior to the modulation. Factors affecting the modulation are suggested to be the continuous low nutrient conditions. Synchronization between the shallowed distribution during the nighttime and the wind driven surface northeastward current enabled a sudden horizontal transport toward the central area. Satellite and acoustic backscattering data are beneficial subsidiary tools for detecting blooms.

The reliability of land surface phenology (LSP) derived from satellite remote sensing is crucial for obtaining accurate estimates of the phenological response of vegetation to future climate change in urban ecosystems. Differences in phenological definition and extraction methodology using remote sensing can generate systemic errors in estimating the phenological temperature sensitivity to predict the biological response of vegetation. Here, we evaluated the start of the season (SOS), the end of the season (EOS), and the growing season length (GSL) between the Terra and Aqua combined Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Land Cover Dynamics (MCD12Q2) and the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership NASA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Land Cover Dynamics (VNP22Q2) over 1470 urban clusters worldwide.

This work presents the design and validation of a thermal subsystem for a 1U CubeSat-type nanosatellite. The design encompasses two stages: regulating the satellite's temperature range through implementing passive control based on multilayer coatings and an electronic board capable of measuring the internal surface temperature of each of the satellite's six faces. Validation is conducted through tests performed in a theoretical thermo vacuum chamber that provides a controlled environment, simulating the thermal conditions to which the satellite will be exposed once in orbit.

Coastal vertical land motion (VLM), including uplift and subsidence, can greatly alter relative sea level projections and flood mitigations plans. Yet, current projection frameworks, such as the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, often underestimate VLM by relying on regional linear estimates. Using high-resolution (90-meter) satellite data from 2015 to 2023, we provide local VLM estimates for California and assess their contribution to sea level rise both now and in future.

Wetlands provide necessary ecosystem services, such as climate regulation and contribution to biodiversity at global and local scales, and they face spatial changes due to natural and anthropogenic factors. The degradation of the characteristic structure signals potential severe threats to biodiversity. This study aimed to monitor the long-term spatial changes of the Göksu Delta, a critical Ramsar site, using remote sensing techniques.

Meiosis is generally a fair process: each chromosome has a 50% chance of being included into each gamete. However, meiosis can become aberrant with some chromosomes having a higher chance of making it into gametes than others. Yet, why and how such systems evolve remains unclear.
