Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Broad Skills, Smaller Footprints? Generalist CEOs and Firm Biodiversity Exposure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether CEO generalist skills predict firm‐level biodiversity risk exposure, an emerging strategic and financial concern. Using the biodiversity indicator developed based on textual analysis and the General Ability Index, we find that firms led by generalist CEOs are associated with significantly lower disclosed biodiversity risk ...

Numerical modeling of earthen dam breach due to piping failure

Water Science and Engineering, 2019
Based on model tests of earthen dam breach due to piping failure, a numerical model was developed. A key difference from previous research is the assumption that the cross-section of the pipe channel is an arch, with a rectangle at the bottom and a ...

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

Deep 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 ...

Experimental study on water transfer of soil-rock mixtures under freezing action

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
The frost-heaving failure of earth-rock dam slopes is mainly caused by the combined action of sand and gravel cushion, frost heaving of dam fills and water migration.

Dynamic geo‐hydrogeological monitoring‐driven situational awareness for real‐time floor water inrush risk prediction in deep mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The fused data extracted from the distributed monitoring system as the data basis, combined with dynamic geological data, are imported into a deep learning model. As the geological conditions of mining and excavation change, the risk of water inrush at the working face is retrieved in real time.
