A quantitative procedure for building physiographic units supporting a global SOTER database

open access: yesHungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2010
Until recently, manual methods were used for delineating SOILSCAPE. The use of digital data sources, such as digital elevation models (DEM) and satellite data can speed up the completion of digital soil databases and improve the overall quality ...

Terrain classification by cluster analisys [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The digital terrain modelling can be obtained by different methods belonging to two principal categories: deterministic methods (e.g. polinomial and spline functions interpolation, Fourier spectra) and stochastic methods (e.g.

Local realities, global discourses and decolonising the curriculum in a post‐92 UK context: Academic voices on enacting decolonial curriculum change

open access: yesThe Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explored how lecturers in a post‐92 UK university conceptualise and enact decolonial curriculum principles within their teaching and programme design. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with academic staff across multiple disciplines, the research adopts a qualitative, phenomenologically informed approach to examine the interplay

Permeability of granite from a shallow buried mountain pipe gallery tunnel under unloading confining pressure

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Triaxial compression tests under unloading confining pressure conditions were conducted to systematically analyze the permeability behavior of granite retrieved from the different classification surrounding rocks. Abstract The rock mass within mountain tunnels undergoes complex changes in permeability, strength, and deformation during tunneling ...

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...
