Towards Water, Food and Energy Security: The Global Challenges and Possible Solutions for a Holistic Vision of Sustainability

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This invited paper gives an overview of the challenges the world is facing and offers a possible solution for water and food security within the holistic integrated concept of the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus. The paper summarizes the experience the author gained through working on various research projects at national and international ...

Rethinking ethanol separation in continuous spirit production from a process intensification perspective

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract Continuous neutral‐alcohol and food‐grade ethanol production is an energy‐intensive process in which distillation and rectification alone account for 50–85% of total plant energy use. While significant advances in separation technology have emerged over the past two decades, the spirits industry continues to rely predominantly on multi‐effect ...

Wheat Wild Relatives and Modern Cultivars Differ for Salt Resistance in Terms of Morpho‐Physiological Traits

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Wheat wild relatives are untapped genetic resources from salinity and drought hit areas. This study presents differential comparative morphophysiological responses of these species and modern wheat cultivars under saline conditions. Salt resistant species produce more shoot and root biomass under saline conditions through salt exclusion and/or tissue ...

Quantifying user variability in the traditional X‐ray ice‐rafted‐debris counting technique

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The flux of icebergs is most commonly constrained in the palaeo‐record by manually counting gravel clasts in sediment core X‐ray images—a trusted method in Quaternary science and palaeoceanography for nearly 40 years. In this study, we explore the reproducibility (user consistency and between‐user variability) of the traditional clast‐counting

Decoupling glacier retreat and surface stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (Slovenia), insights from in situ cosmogenic 36Cl exposure and depth‐profile ages

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

Refinement of the Quaternary seismic stratigraphy and analysis of buried glacial channels on the Labrador Shelf

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Laurentide Ice Sheet covered vast areas of North America during the Wisconsinan, including the Labrador Shelf, off the coast of eastern Canada. The shelf is characterized by glacial cross‐shelf troughs, which have been considered as predominantly eroded by the last ice advance.
