Application of Circular Economy Principles to Power Generation: Extending the Life of A Hydropower Plant by Pumped Hydro Energy Storage

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The application of circular economy, which aims to maximize efficiency and reduce waste, to renewable energy sources necessitates, given the intermittent nature of the latter, robust energy storage solutions to ensure grid stability and avoid wasting energy.

Effect of Shelterbelts Distribution on Ephemeral Gully Erosion in the Rolling-hilly Black Soil Region of Northeast China

open access: yesShuitu baochi yanjiu, 2012
The ephemeral gully erosion in cultivated slope lands in rolling-hilly black soil region of northeast China is very serious.As one of the most important parts of cultivated slope lands,the shelterbelt system would inevitably affect the process of ...

Life Under the Snow: Camera Trap Videos Capture Year‐Round Lemming Activity and Behavior

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We developed an automated camera system capable of recording year‐round videos of lemmings beneath the snow in the High Arctic. We demonstrate the potential of this system to document lemming activity and behaviors. Our results show that it effectively monitors lemming relative abundance with temporal precision unmatched by other methods.

Impacts of the Australian Black Summer Fires on Bat Occupancy and Activity: The Role of Traits and Conservation Status

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
The response of bats to Australian megafires was assessed one year after fires. High severity fire had a negative effect on total bat activity and the activity or occupancy of six species, while a further 10 species was not associated with any fire covariate. Overall, bat responses were complex and not easily predicted by traits alone.

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Multi-parametric GIS analysis to assess gully erosion susceptibility: a test in southern Sicily, Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
: A GIS-analysis was carried out in a test basin of southern Sicily, the Magazzolo River basin, in order to assess susceptibility conditions to gully erosion phenomena. The linear density of ephemeral and permanent gullies computed within each class of

Evaluating ephemeral gullies with a process-based topographic index model [PDF]

open access: yesCATENA, 2014
A B S T R A C T Soil conservation practices have been implemented to control soil degradation from sheet and rill erosion, but excessive sediment runoff remains among the most prevalent water quality problems in the world. Ephemeral gully (EG) erosion has been recognized as a major source of sediment in agricultural watersheds; thus, predicting ...

Weathering the Storm: Effects of a Hurricane‐Induced Thermal Disturbance on a Juvenile Atlantic Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) Hotspot in Nova Scotia, Canada

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic Halibut has recently become the most valuable groundfish in Atlantic Canada following population recovery, and the benthic habitat characteristics of their aggregation areas have been identified as a key outstanding ecological knowledge gap for the species. In 2022, during a multi‐year acoustic tracking study in a key juvenile hotspot
