The winter 2023/2024 floods in the UK: a hydrological appraisal
From October 2023 to March 2024, the UK saw a succession of named storms and low‐pressure weather systems, leading to widespread exceptional river flows throughout. Peak flow records were broken in several catchments, but this event was most notable for its duration and spatial footprint, which resulted in major impacts.

Application of Intelligent Systems in CO2 Management: State of the Art and Future Prospects
ABSTRACT Machine learning (ML) integration is becoming increasingly popular in advancing the 4th industrial revolution, known as Industry 4.0. This review paper examines ML applications in CO2 management stages: emission, capture, and conversion. ML models, including multiple linear regression (MLR), multiple nonlinear regression (MNLR), and artificial

Enhancing Generalisation via Cascaded Inertia SGD With Learnt Hyperparameters
ABSTRACT A central challenge in deep learning lies in achieving strong model generalisation, an area in which conventional optimisers such as stochastic gradient descent (SGD) often exhibit limitations, even though they ensure convergence. This paper introduces cascaded inertia SGD (CISGD), a novel optimisation algorithm specifically designed to ...

ABSTRACT Power lines in synthetic‐aperture radar (SAR) images are reflected as point signatures, which fluctuate annually in both the azimuth and range directions. A novel framework is proposed in this paper to evaluate the four‐dimensional dynamic status of power line sag using those point signatures in time‐series SAR images.

Playing the System: Electoral Bias in the 2024 UK General Election
Abstract The UK's 2024 general election was the least proportional of modern times. Labour's substantial parliamentary majority rested on the smallest ever winning party vote share. The Conservatives, meanwhile, suffered one of their worst ever results.

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Canada has a wide range of landslides reflecting the diverse geological and geomorphological environments in the nation's landscape. Rock avalanches and rockfalls are extremely rapid landslides that are common in mountainous regions. Debris avalanches and channelized debris flows, typically triggered by heavy rains, form another group of rapid ...

Local Leaflets: Constituency Issue Messaging at the 2024 General Election
Abstract The 2024 general election brought about a significant change in the parliamentary balance of power. There has already been much attention devoted to the issues that dominated the national campaign. Using original leaflet data from the OpenElections project, this study extends the focus to explore the issues emphasised in local electoral ...
