Plant diseases are one of the major threats to global food production. Efficient monitoring
and detection of plant pathogens are instrumental in restricting and effectively managing the …

There has been a proliferation in the development of Lagrangian analytical methods for
detecting coherent structures in fluid flow transport, yielding a variety of qualitatively different …

The lack of reliable forecasts for the spread of oceanic and atmospheric contamination
hinders the effective protection of the ecosystem, society, and the economy from the fallouts …

We give an algorithmic introduction to Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) using a newly
developed computational engine, LCS Tool. LCSs are most repelling, attracting and …

Many high-risk plant pathogens are transported over long distances (hundreds of meters to
thousands of kilometers) in the atmosphere. The ability to track the movement of these …

Concentrations of airborne chemical and biological agents from a hazardous release are not
spread uniformly. Instead, there are regions of higher concentration, in part due to local …

Current knowledge of the aerobiology of Fusarium graminearum sensu lato is based on
decades of published research documenting the processes of spore discharge, atmospheric …

In mechanically agitated vessels, bulk flow circulation which plays a leading role in
macroscale mixing is controlled by hidden Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs). We use a …

We develop a general theory of transport barriers for three-dimensional unsteady flows with
arbitrary time-dependence. The barriers are obtained as two-dimensional Lagrangian …

Understanding the trajectories of passive particles, such as drifters and/or pollutants in
geophysical flows, is crucial due to the mostly chaotic nature of such flows. Recently, a novel …
