Forgetting and Remembering: Kenneth Cumberland and Soil Erosion in New Zealand, 1940s to 2020s

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 1, March 2026.
The speed and scale of landscape transformation in New Zealand was almost immediately apparent to British geographer Kenneth Cumberland on his appointment to Canterbury University College in 1938. His efforts culminated in the nationally and internationally well‐regarded book ‘Soil Erosion in New Zealand: A Geographical Reconnaissance (1944a)’, which ...

Control of the geomorphology and gas hydrate extent on widespread gas emissions offshore Romania

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2017
The Romanian sector of the Black Sea deserves attention because the Danube deep-sea fan is one of the largest sediment depositional systems worldwide and is considered the world's most isolated sea, the largest anoxic water body on the planet and a ...

Understanding Ancient Landscapes in the Venetian Plain through an Integrated Geoarchaeological and Geophysical Approach

Remote Sensing, 2020
This paper reports the results of the multidisciplinary study carried out in the SE area of Ceggia, in the eastern part of the Venetian Plain. The area has been characterized, since ancient times, by numerous morphological transformation, due to the ...

Assessing the Impact of Agrivoltaic Systems on Pasture Plant and Soil Microarthropod Communities

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Agrivoltaic systems (AVS) integrate renewable energy production with agricultural use, creating novel microclimatic gradients that can affect ecosystem structure and function. However, the ecological consequences of these gradients on vegetation composition and soil biological quality remain poorly understood, particularly in pasture‐based AVS

Tursi: the Rabatana

Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage, 2004
There are many important factors which make the town of Tursi an exceptional case in the pattern of human settlements in Basilicata: to begin with, it was the Capital of Leukanía, the third Byzantine thema of the Catepanate of Italy; then, it acquired a ...

Fine mapping and functional analysis of the candidate gene OFP17, regulating both seed and fruit sizes in cotton

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Single cotton boll weight (BW) and seed index (SI, 100‐seed weight) are key determinants of lint and seed yield, yet their genetic basis remains poorly understood. Here, a stable interploidy introgression line with small boll from Gossypium arboreum in Gossypium hirsutum, NB298, was employed to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of BW and SI ...

Geomorphological mapping of the state of Paraná with digital classification method of landform patterns

Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia
The digital classification method of landform patterns that was applied in the geomorphological mapping of the State of Paraná is presented. A Digital Terrain Model (MDT) was used to obtain three variables: 1) altimetric amplitude (AA), 2) average slope

Exploring Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to Detect Soil Pipes: Theoretical Modeling and Field Experiments

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 1126-1142, 15 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion research remains critical for sustainable development as it impacts soil health through different erosive processes. Recent studies on soil piping highlight advancements in detecting surface features (using UAV); however, detecting underground pipes still remains challenging.

Classification hiérarchique et cartographie expérimentale : Exemple d'une toundra sur sandur au Spitsberg (Vegetation and Geomorphology of a Spitsbergen Tundra)

Bulletin de l'Association de géographes français, 1980
In the paper, the author takes the vegetation as an indicator for the landscape evolution in Svalbard. The observations are made through a systematic network. The algorithm used for the data processing is the "hierarchical classification". It allows to rank the observation points according to narrower and narrower types.
