Shoreline Prediction Modelling as a Base Tool for Coastal Management: The Catania Plain Case Study (Italy)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Coastal dynamic is the complex result of multiple natural and human processes, and past and future coastal behavior studies become fundamental to support coastal zone management. However, the reliability of coastal evolution studies is strongly dependent

Corn Grain and Stover Nutrient Uptake Responses from Sandy Soil Treated with Designer Biochars and Compost

Agronomy, 2021
Biochars are used for soil fertility improvement because they may contain certain elements that plants use as nutrients. However, few studies have demonstrated enhanced crop nutrient uptake.

Characterization of Ground Thermal Conditions for Shallow Geothermal Exploitation in the Central North China Plain (NCP) Area

Energies, 2022
The central North China Plain (NCP) is one of the rapidly developing regions in China which has a great potential for ground source heat pump (GSHP) system applications. However, the ground thermal property, which is a prerequisite for GSHP system design,

Quantifying local-scale dust emission from the Arabian Red Sea coastal plain [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017
Dust plumes emitted from the narrow Arabian Red Sea coastal plain are often observed on satellite images and felt in local population centers. Despite its relatively small area, the coastal plain could be a significant dust source; however, its effect is

Using 14C-Dated Peat Beds for Reconstructing Subsidence by Compression in the Holland Coastal Plain of the Netherlands [PDF]

, 2018
Subsidence in the Holland coastal plain of the Netherlands was reconstructed from the vertical displacement of Holocene peat layers below their reference groundwater levels at the time of peat formation. This quantifies the part of subsidence that is due

Methodological recommendations for assessing scleractinian and octocoral recruitment to settlement tiles [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Quantifying recruitment of corals is important for evaluating their capacity to recover after disturbances through natural processes, yet measuring recruitment rates in situ is challenging due to the minute size of the study organism and the complexity ...
