Morphometric and hydraulic geometry assessment of a gully in SW Spain [PDF]

, 2016
Gully erosion represents one of the most significant types of land degradation in the Mediterranean areas, giving place to important on- and off-site effects. In this paper, a second-order gully located in SW Spain is analyzed.

Permafrost Mass Wasting in Ice‐Rich Landscapes: Recent Advances (2013 to 2024) on Mechanisms, Dynamics and Impacts

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...

Determination of future gully erosion risk and its spatially quantitative interpretability of driving factors in regional scale using machine learning algorithms

Geoderma
Gully erosion has already caused severe damage to land production and ecosystem safety. It is pivotal to identify areas sensitive to and at risk from gully erosion for guiding gully erosion prevention and control efforts.

Pisces IV submersible observations in the epicentral region of the 1929 Grand Banks earthquake [PDF]

, 1989
The PISCES IVsubmersible was used to investigate the upper continental slope around 44 ON, 56 W, near the epicentre of the 1929 Grand Banks earthquake. Four dives in water depths of 800-2000 m were undertaken to observe speci3c features identijied with ...

Extended Strahler Ordering to Distinguish Mapped River Channels From Overland Flow Pathways and Consistently Compare Digital Networks

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...

Impact of Glucose, Inflammation and Phytochemicals on ACE2, TMPRSS2 and Glucose Transporter Gene Expression in Human Intestinal Cells

Antioxidants
Inflammation is associated with the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and COVID-19. Phytochemicals have the potential to modulate inflammation, expression of SARS-CoV-2 viral entry receptors (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane ...

Reconstructing long-term gully dynamics in Mediterranean agricultural areas [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017
Gully erosion is an important erosive process in Mediterranean basins. However, the long-term dynamics of gully networks and the variations in sediment production in gullies are not well known. Available studies are often conducted only over a few years,

Measuring Strategic, Tactical, Complex and Simple Changes to Farm Systems

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture is under increasing pressure to redesign farm systems. Governments are increasingly seeking to halt or reverse the damaging effects of agriculture on the environment. Adapting to climate change requires reconfiguring farm systems to withstand more variable, and historically more extreme, seasonal conditions and the constant demand ...
