Coronal hole detection and open magnetic flux
Many scientists use coronal hole (CH) detections to infer open magnetic flux. Detection techniques differ in the areas that they assign as open, and may obtain different values...- publication PDF

Succession of the sessile benthic community at a coral reef restoration site
Introduction: Ecosystem restoration facilitates ecological succession. When a coral reef experiences a distur-bance, the community of sessile benthic organisms can follow a...- publication PDF
