From perception to modelling: Nature-based solutions as a tool for coastal risk management [PDF]

Cambridge Prisms: Coastal Futures
Coastal nature-based solution (NBS) projects have been on the rise over the past few years. In France, the expression is being increasingly used at a local level, and new projects are developing on the coast.

Reference‐dependent preferences in flat penalty service‐level contracts

Journal of Operations Management, Volume 69, Issue 8, Page 1219-1234, December 2023., 2023
Abstract This paper investigates a supply chain governed by a flat penalty service‐level contract in which missing the target fill rate can lead to costly operational disruption. We focus on near‐miss bias: (1) the preference for near‐miss events, that is, risky production quantities that reach the target but narrowly avoid disruption; and (2) riskier ...

Dynamiques hydrogéomorphologiques historiques et actuelles d'une rivière perturbée par les activités de la drave et analyse des impacts d'un démantèlement de barrage

Canadian Geographer / Le géographe canadien, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 537-549, Winter / hiver 2023., 2023
Résumé Au Québec, la dynamique fluviale de la rivière des Escoumins a été perturbée par l'industrie forestière pendant plus d'un siècle. Un barrage a notamment été construit près de l'embouchure en 1846, puis démantelé en 2013. Ces perturbations ont entraîné des répercussions importantes sur l'équilibre du cours d'eau et sur l'habitat du saumon ...

Three thousand years of river channel engineering in the Nile Valley

Geoarchaeology, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 565-587, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Across a 1000‐km stretch of the River Nile, from the 1st Cataract in southern Egypt to the 4th Cataract in Sudan, many hundreds of drystone walls are located within active channels, on seasonally inundated floodplains or in now‐dry Holocene palaeochannel belts.

Diversity of Siphonaria Sowerby I, 1823 (Gastropoda, Siphonariidae) in the Seychelles Bank and beyond

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 31-45, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the characters of the reduced shell of the false limpets of the genus Siphonaria Sowerby I, 1823 are highly variable and often insufficient for species delimitation. The taxonomy and distribution of Siphonaria in the Indian Ocean are poorly known.

Antiparasitic treatment with itraconazole and amiodarone in 2 dogs with severe, symptomatic Chagas cardiomyopathy

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 1100-1105, May/June 2022., 2022
Abstract Chagas cardiomyopathy, caused by the protozoal parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is characterized by arrhythmias, myocardial damage, heart failure, and sudden death. We describe 2 dogs with severe, symptomatic Chagas cardiomyopathy characterized by myocardial dysfunction and electrocardiographic abnormalities that were managed with a combination of ...

Ancestral transoceanic colonization and recent population reduction in a nonannual killifish from the Seychelles archipelago

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 14, Page 3610-3623, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Whether freshwater fish colonize remote islands following tectonic or transoceanic dispersal remains an evolutionary puzzle. Integrating dating of known tectonic events with phylogenomics and current species distribution, we find that killifish species distribution is not explained by species dispersal by tectonic drift only. Investigating the

Fishers perceptions of ecosystem service change associated with climate‐disturbed coral reefs

People and Nature, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 639-657, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Understanding ecosystem service change necessitates an understanding of the social and ecological dimensions of ecosystem services and how they contribute to the well‐being of different people. These empirical research gaps persist across the tropics and in coastal environments, posing a challenge for small island states that depend on ...

Applications de la Géophysique en Génie civil : cas de la Reconnaissance Géotechnique

Revue Congolaise des Sciences et Technologies, 2023
La géophysique a pour objet l’étude du champ physique à la surface du sol ou à l’intérieur d’une cavité. Pour ce faire, elle passe par des méthodes tels que la gravimétrie, la sismique, les méthodes électriques en courant continue, etc.
