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.

Comparison of Gully Erosion Susceptibility Mapping Using Weight of Evidence and Frequency Ratio Models at Sanganeh Kalat Basin

open access: yesتحقيقات جغرافيايی, 2018
Gully erosion is the most advanced type of water erosion in watersheds that produces large volumes of sediment that and cause a lot of damage. Thus mapping susceptibility to gully erosion and identification of factors can help managers and decision ...

Gully erosion spatial modelling: Role of machine learning algorithms in selection of the best controlling factors and modelling process

open access: yes, 2020
This investigation assessed the efficacy of 10 widely used machine learning algorithms (MLA) comprising the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), generalized linear model (GLM), stepwise generalized linear model (SGLM), elastic net ...

Note on recent Gully Erosion [PDF]

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 1964
Abstract During recent high rainfalls in Canterbury a small mountain stream that had been diverted over a rock‐defended terrace eroded a gully 150 yd long, 50 yd wide, and 25 ft deep during a period of a few hours.

Leverage Points for Meaningful Participation: A 5‐Point Framework From a Rural South African Landscape

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative forms of natural resource management are required. Participation of local actors is necessary but not sufficient, for moving away from the conventional top‐down approaches. This paper develops a 5‐point framework for enabling meaningful participation in rural landscape governance.

Gully erosion susceptibility assessment and management of hazard-prone areas in India using different machine learning algorithms.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2019
Gully erosion is one of the most effective drivers of sediment removal and runoff from highland areas to valley floors and stable channels, where continued off-site effects of water erosion occur.

MERGE: modelling erosion resistance for gully erosion – a process-based model of erosion from an idealised linear gully [PDF]

open access: yesSoil Research, 2020
Gullies are responsible for as much as 40% of the accelerated erosion impacting the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. Consequently, to protect the reef from the impacts of poor water quality associated with eroded sediment, the remediation of gullied landscapes is important.

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.

Freeze-Thaw Induced Gully Erosion: A Long-Term High-Resolution Analysis

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Gullies are significant contributors of sediment to streams in the southeastern USA. This study investigated gully erosion in the clay-rich soils of east Tennessee under a humid subtropical climate.

Pesticide Supply Chains From China to Australia: Examining Paraquat Amid the Global Pesticide Complex

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following recent calls to deepen understanding of the Global Pesticide Complex, this article delves into the China‐to‐Australia supply chain of a single herbicide—paraquat. First released in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, acutely toxic paraquat is now primarily produced in China.
