The Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Heatwaves and Cold‐Spells in Earth's Largest Freshwater Systems by Hazem U. Abdelhady, David Cannon, Ayumi Fujisaki‐Manome, Andrew Gronewold, Jia Wang

“…Temperature anomalies during these events varied from the climatological mean by as much as ±10°C, but did not change significantly over time. Analysis revealed substantial spatial variability in heatwaves and cold‐spells, both within and across lakes, with differences driven by air temperature and ice cover anomalies as well as associated climate teleconnections (i.e., the East Pacific/North Pacific and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation). …”

Intracycle Velocity Variation During a Single-Sculling 2000 m Rowing Competition by Joana Leão, Ricardo Cardoso, Jose Arturo Abraldes, Susana Soares, Beatriz B. Gomes, Ricardo J. Fernandes

“…Despite these differences, male and female single scullers adopted similar pacing strategies and CVV remained constant throughout the 2000 m race (indicating that this variable might not be affected by fatigue). Differences were also observed in the velocity–time profile, with men reaching peak velocity first and having a faster propulsive phase. …”

Old‐age pine trees: Unique objects of the Buzuluksky forest by S. E. Kucherov, P. V. Velmovskiy

“…Tree‐rings contain information about variability of climatic factors and about various negative events (abnormal weather events, fires, defoliation caused by leaf‐eating insects, etc.).Due to the fact that information about climatic conditions and negative events, as a rule, covers short time intervals, the study of tree‐rings makes it possible to obtain data on both the climate and the dates of negative phenomena and also the degree of their impact on ecosystems over long time intervals.Old‐age trees are of particular value, since they allow obtaining information about variability of environmental conditions and negative events over hundreds of years. …”
