A fire safety engineering approach to improving community resilience to the impacts of wildfire
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.Abstract Each year severe wildfires continue to cause significant destruction resulting in the loss of life, property, critical infrastructure, and the environment. In an effort to increase community preparedness and resilience to wildfire, international jurisdictions have adopted both guiding principles and prescriptive codes that apply to both urban ...

An Automatic Digital Terrain Generation Technique for Terrestrial Sensing and Virtual Reality Applications [PDF]
, 2019 The identification and modeling of the terrain from point cloud data is an important component of Terrestrial Remote Sensing (TRS) applications. The main focus in terrain modeling is capturing details of complex geological features of landforms. Traditional terrain modeling approaches rely on the user to exert control over terrain features.

Exploring Basement Surface relationship of north-west Bengal Basin using satellite images and tectonic modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The Bengal basin is one of the thickest sedimentary basins and is being constantly affected by the collision of the Indian plate with the Burma and Tibetan plates. The northwest part of the basin, our study area, is one of the least explored areas where the shallowest faulted basement is present. Controversies exist about the origin of the basement and

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.Gaoligong Mountain is home to a large number of rare and endangered species, but the effectiveness of conservation measures in the Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve remains uncertain. We predicted the potential distribution areas of 361 rare and endangered wild plants in southern Gaoligong Mountain under current and future climate change scenarios and ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 89-108, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Mangroves are coastal ecosystems exposed to terrestrial, marine, geomorphic and climatic forcings operating in concert, making the mangrove niche hard to define, as evidenced by extremely poor restoration outcomes. We have developed a set of high‐resolution species distribution models and interpreted the variables that have the largest ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Openwork mountain block deposits (blockfields, blockstreams) have received much research interest globally given their visual appeal as prominent cold‐region landforms. However, studies have shown that these landforms in both glaciated and non‐glaciated environments are probably of considerable age (pre‐Quaternary), yet the environmental ...

Geoarchaeology and geomorphology of the Metaponto area, Ionian coastal belt, Italy
Journal of Maps, 2020 A 1:28,000-scale geoarchaeological map has been prepared for a large sector of the Ionian coastal belt of the Basilicata region, southern Italy, in order to investigate the relationships between the spatial distribution of archaeological sites of Greek ...

Modelling transverse dunes [PDF]
, 2003 Transverse dunes appear in regions of mainly unidirectional wind and high sand availability. A dune model is extended to two dimensional calculation of the shear stress. It is applied to simulate dynamics and morphology of transverse dunes which seem to reach translational invariance and do not stop growing.

A review of landscape rehabilitation frameworks in ecosystem engineering for mine closure [PDF]
, 2015 Mining causes changes to the environment and rehabilitation is necessary at mine closure. There is a lack of appropriate frameworks for mine site rehabilitation. In most cases, restoring the mine to previous conditions is challenging.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In Ireland, the Nahanagan Stadial (NS) was characterised by cirque glacier, plateau icefield and mountain ice cap expansion and is named after the cirque glacier type‐site of Lough Nahanagan in the Wicklow Mountains. This period is broadly equivalent to the Younger Dryas Stadial and Greenland Stadial‐1 (GS‐1: ~12.9–11.7 ka).
