The uptake of glyoxal (Gly) on 28 different samples with varying mineralogical origins, such as clays, mineral proxies, and natural dusts from the major arid regions of the Earth, was determined. Experiments were performed at ambient temperature inside a K ...
To quantify the contribution of new particle formation (NPF) to ultrafine particle number and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) budgets, one has to understand the mechanisms that govern NPF in different environments and its temporal extent. Here, we study NP ...
The Antarctic continent is a vast desert and is the coldest and the most unknown area on Earth. It contains the Antarctic ice sheet, the largest continental water reservoir on Earth that could be affected by the current global warming, leading to sea level ...

Autrefois omniprésents dans les campagnes, les vergers extensifs ont été systématiquement arrachés depuis la fin des années 1940. Depuis, la société s’est transformée, les connaissances arboricoles se perdent et les possibilités de valorisation de la produ ...
Soiling is the major cause of power loss of photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) in desert areas. Electrodynamic cleaning system (EDS) is an automatic and water-free integrated cleaning system for mirrors or solar panels, which uses pulsed ...
A fundamental challenge with solar energy is improving the reliability, and increasing the lifetime, of photovoltaic modules. Typically, photovoltaic module manufacturers guarantee 80% of the nominal power of their modules for 25 years, but this type of gu ...

The emergence of bifacial photovoltaics as a serious option for large-scale power generation makes the accuracy of the in-situ estimation of ground surface albedo increasingly critical. Recent studies have evaluated the performance of different models but ...
Soil loss prevention is an important ecosystem service for protecting human and environmental health. Using spatiotemporal climate and environmental data of the Eastern Gobi Steppe, a region missing from previous studies of Mongolian wind-based soil erosio ...
Street networks are one of the very few types of complex networks where the history of the network can be traced over long periods of time. Here we introduce methods for quantifying the geometric characteristics of street networks and analyze the details o ...
Since the time of their domestication, goats (Capra hircus) have evolved in a large variety of locally adapted populations in response to different human and environmental pressures. In the present era, many indigenous populations are threatened with extin ...
