Identification of changes in hydrological drought characteristics from a multi-GCM driven ensemble constrained by observed discharge
Summary Drought severity and related socio-economic impacts are expected to increase due to climate change. To better adapt to these impacts, more knowledge on changes in future hydrological drought characteristics (e.g. frequency, duration) is...

Calibration of dimensional change in finite element models using AGR moderator brick measurements
Abstract Physically based models, resolved using the finite element (FE) method, are often used to model changes in geometry and the associated stress fields of graphite moderator bricks within a reactor. These models require inputs that describe...

A second-order accurate in time IMplicit–EXplicit (IMEX) integration scheme for sea ice dynamics
Abstract Current sea ice models use numerical schemes based on a splitting in time between the momentum and continuity equations. Because the ice strength is explicit when solving the momentum equation, this can create unrealistic ice stress...
