Drivers of plant community composition and diversity in low Arctic western Greenland

Ecography, EarlyView.
The Arctic experiences rapid climate change, but our ability to predict how this will influence plant communities is hampered by a lack of data on the extent to which different species are associated with particular environmental conditions, how these conditions are interlinked, and how they will change in coming years.

Institutional Design of Collaborative Water Governance: The River Chief System in China

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaborative governance has been increasingly applied in the field of water governance. However, this approach is often criticized for overlooking the political nature of water governance and the necessity of collaboration across multiple dimensions.

Hydrology of the Powerless [PDF]

, 2021
This PhD project identifies the complex imbrications of political and environmental violence resulting in patterns of human bodies and remains washing up on the shores of three rivers. It seeks to demonstrate that, contrary to common abstractions and universalisations of water as empty and neutral, the materiality and fluvial processes of rivers are ...

Evaluating the sensitivity of surrogate optimization target properties characterizing droplet formation, evaporation, and chemical reactions to biodiesel composition reduction

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Liquid fuels contain a large number of components. However, it is not computationally feasible to implement the detailed composition into numerical solvers in combustion chamber design. Surrogate mixtures are used to facilitate calculations, which can reproduce the fuel characteristics with fewer components providing reasonable accuracy ...

Uncertainty in inventories for life cycle assessment: State‐of‐the‐art, challenges, and new technologies

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Uncertainty is a critical factor that can hinder the quality and potential applications of life cycle assessment (LCA) results. A prominent source of uncertainty stems from the life cycle inventory (LCI) data. Various methodologies exist to estimate the uncertainty associated with LCI data, primarily based on the widely used structured ...

Arctic terrestrial hydrology: A synthesis of processes, regional effects, and research challenges

, 2016
Terrestrial hydrology is central to the Arctic system and its freshwater circulation. Water transport and water constituents vary, however, across a very diverse geography. In this paper, which is a component of the Arctic Freshwater Synthesis, we review

Assessing Groundwater Potential in the Ziway Lake Watershed Using Geographical Information System, Analytic Hierarchy Process, and Drinking Water Quality Index

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
This study identifies groundwater potential zones in Ethiopia’s Ziway Lake watershed using GIS and the SWAT model. Over half the area shows moderate to very high potential. Nearly 40% of high‐potential zones also have good to excellent water quality. The results offer a practical tool for sustainable groundwater management, with potential application ...

Towards Learning Universal, Regional, and Local Hydrological Behaviors via Machine-Learning Applied to Large-Sample Datasets [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Regional rainfall-runoff modeling is an old but still mostly out-standing problem in Hydrological Sciences. The problem currently is that traditional hydrological models degrade significantly in performance when calibrated for multiple basins together instead of for a single basin alone.
