Sinopse

Snow Water Content explores the critical role of snowpacks in Earth's water cycle, focusing on Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) – the amount of water held within snow. Accurately measuring SWE is vital for predicting snowmelt runoff and mitigating flood risk, especially in a changing climate. 

 
The book examines various SWE measurement methods, from traditional snow surveys to advanced remote sensing techniques, highlighting their strengths and limitations. It also delves into the factors influencing SWE, such as temperature, snowfall patterns, and solar radiation, illustrating how these elements interact to determine snowpack dynamics. 

 
The book builds upon established hydrological principles, incorporating recent advances in remote sensing and numerical modeling. It demonstrates how improved SWE monitoring and modeling can enhance flood forecasting and water resource management. 

 
By understanding the relationship between SWE and flood potential, communities can better prepare for and manage flood risks in snow-dominated regions. 

 
The book progresses logically, starting with basic SWE concepts, moving through measurement techniques and influencing factors, and concluding with practical applications for water resource management and climate change adaptation.

    Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the modern world. It is ubiquitous—in our homes and offices, in the present and most certainly in the future. Today, we encounter AI as our distant ancestors once encountered fire. If we manage AI well, it will become a force for good, lighting the way to many transformative inventions. If we deploy it thoughtlessly, it will advance beyond our control. If we wield it for destruction, it will fan the flames of a new kind of war, one that holds democracy in the balance. As AI policy experts Ben Buchanan and Andrew Imbrie show in The New Fire, few choices are more urgent—or more fascinating—than how we harness this technology and for what purpose. 
     
     
      
    The new fire has three sparks: data, algorithms, and computing power. These components fuel viral disinformation campaigns, new hacking tools, and military weapons that once seemed like science fiction. To autocrats, AI offers the prospect of centralized control at home and asymmetric advantages in combat. It is easy to assume that democracies, bound by ethical constraints and disjointed in their approach, will be unable to keep up. But such a dystopia is hardly preordained. Combining an incisive understanding of technology with shrewd geopolitical analysis, Buchanan and Imbrie show how AI can work for democracy. With the right approach, technology need not favor tyranny.

    The topic of security culture is mysterious and confusing to most leaders. But it doesn't have to be. In The Security Culture Playbook, Perry Carpenter and Kai Roer deliver experience-driven, actionable insights into how to transform your organization's security culture and reduce human risk at every level.

    The book offers: an exposé of what security culture really is and how it can be measured; a careful exploration of the seven dimensions that comprise security culture; practical tools for managing your security culture program, such as the Security Culture Framework and the Security Culture Maturity Model; and insights into building support within the executive team and Board of Directors for your culture management program.

    Cacophony of Bone - The Circle...

    Two days after the winter solstice in 2019, Kerri and her partner moved to a remote cottage in the heart of Ireland. They were looking for a home, somewhere to settle into a stable life. Then the pandemic arrived and their secluded abode became a place of enforced isolation. What was meant to be the beginning of an enriching new chapter was instead marked by uncertainty and fear. The seasons still passed, the swallows returned, the rhythms of the natural world went on, but in many ways 2020 was unlike any year we had seen before. And for Kerri there would be one more change: a baby, longed for but utterly, beautifully unexpected. 
     
     
     
    Intensely lyrical, fragmentary in subject and form, Cacophony of Bone is an ode to a year, a place, and a love that transformed a life. When the pandemic came, time seemed to shapeshift; in Kerri’s elegant prose, we can trace its quickening, its slowing. She maps the circle of a year—a journey from one place to another, field notes of a life—from one winter to the next, telling of a changed life in a changed world, as well as all that stays the same. All that keeps on living and breathing, nesting and dying. This is a book for the listener who wants to slow down, guided by a voice that is utterly singular, "rich and strange," (Robert Macfarlane). A book about home—the deepening of family, the connections that sustain us.
