Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Experimental study on local scour around large-diameter submerged cylinders under combined waves and current action

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2019
The characteristics of local scour around large-diameter submerged cylinders are quite different from the non-submerged ones under combined wave and current conditions. Local scour model tests are carried out in a wave-current flume. A submerged cylinder

Curating landscapes to encourage care for biodiversity through arts and citizen science

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates how combining Citizen Science and Art workshops within curated wildflower meadows can generate repeated, positive experiences with nature, and foster a sense of care for it. The project aimed to increase awareness, encourage responsibility, and develop competencies related to urban nature.

Pattern of channel adjustment due to bottom-block scour on the Yellow River

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2015
The paper is intended to show the patterns of the changes both in the cross section and the local flow due to a peculiar kind of scour,bottom-block scour,or named as bottom tearing scour and bottom ripping up,which is often found to occur in the forms of

Remote sensing and citizen science for habitat mapping: A machine learning approach to lowland heathland in Surrey, UK

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In a time of extensive global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts increasingly rely on high‐resolution, accurate, up‐to‐date habitat maps to guide decision‐making and strategic interventions. Many products have been developed in response, using machine learning (ML) methods to automate habitat classification, often relying on satellite ...

Acid Sulfite Pulping of Hemp: Effects of Processing Conditions on Lyocell Pulp Quality

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Industrial hemp is emerging as a promising renewable source for next‐generation textile fibers. This study evaluates whether acid sulfite pulping can produce hemp‐based dissolving pulp suitable for lyocell manufacturing. While the process is historically linked to increased cellulose accessibility, it did not achieve the low lignin content and ...

Wave–Current Force Characteristics of Monopile Foundations on Scoured Seabeds

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Local scour around offshore wind turbine foundations is a common engineering challenge. It changes the hydrodynamic loads and affects the foundation’s load-bearing capacity.

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

SIMULATION OF SCOURING AROUND A VERTICAL CYLINDER DUE TO TSUNAMI [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2017
* Corresponding author radianta@ugm.ac.id ABSTRACT Local scour due to tsunami is damaging especially on shallow foundation. Although relatively in a short duration, tsunami attack may scour material around buildings that led to destruction. A number of
