LGM glaciation in the northern Dinaric Mountains, Slovenia: new insights from terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide dating and Parallel Ice Sheet Model simulation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Dinaric Mountains are a mountain range stretching NW–SE from the Alps to the Albanides–Hellenides in central Europe. The highest parts were occupied by small ice fields and/or valley glaciers during the Quaternary cold periods, while even today some small glaciers still exist in topoclimatically favourable areas.

Critical Literature Review into Planning of Inter-Terminal Transport: In Port Areas and the Hinterland

Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2019
Nowadays, the major ports around the world usually consist of multiple terminals and service centers which are often run by different operators. Meanwhile, inland terminals have been also developed to reduce port congestion and improve transport ...

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions

Boreas, EarlyView.
Coastal erosion of glacigenic sediments, particularly in the form of retreating drumlin bluffs, is a key process in paraglacial landscape evolution during periods of relative sea‐level (RSL) rise. As marine transgression reworks formerly subaerial glacial terrains, drumlins act as discrete sediment sources generating characteristic erosional and ...

Comparative Analysis of Train Departure Strategies in a Container Shipment

Logistics
Background: We focus on the inland rail forwarding of import containers from a marine terminal. Specifically, we present a discrete-event simulation study related to container-loading operations by train, evaluating different train departure policies ...

Gender inequality in urban British Africa: Evidence from Anglican marriage registers

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We examine the colonial origins and evolution of gender inequality in mission schooling and formal labour force participation across six cities in British colonial Africa, using marriage register data for some 30,000 Anglican brides and grooms well‐positioned to benefit from colonial educational and employment opportunities.

Assessment of potential seawater intrusion in a coastal aquifer system at Abomey - Calavi, Benin

Heliyon, 2020
Severe sea-water intrusion can be detected several kilometers inland and represents a high risk for coastal region groundwater. The coastal aquifer of the continental terminal of the township of Abomey-Calavi (Benin) has been highly exploited for ...

Contrasting population genetic structures of congeneric coastal flounders associated with different early life histories

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine fish species are likely to exhibit little genetic differentiation among populations due to their high dispersal potential during early life stages and migratory nature. However, recent studies have increasingly reported intraspecific genetic differentiation resulting from species‐specific ecological traits, environmental factors, and ...

Critical factors that impact on the efficiency of the Lagos seaports

Journal of Transport and Supply Chain Management, 2015
Background: Since the past two decades, the Lagos seaports have experienced vessel and storage yard cargo congestion, resulting in dwell times of about 30 days for containerised imports and high trade logistics costs.

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Quantifying post‐release behaviour of a critically endangered elasmobranch over two capture events using high‐resolution archival tag data

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract During catch‐and‐release angling, highly resident species are susceptible to multiple recapture events. Biologging offers the opportunity to study post‐release behaviour in detail; however, most studies have focused on a single capture‐release event.
