3D geometric survey of cultural heritage by UAV in inaccessible coastal or shallow aquatic environments

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 19-34, January/March 2025.
Abstract Cultural heritage in coastal or shallow aquatic environments is often located in areas where access is difficult or where accurate survey and documentation may not always be possible with terrestrial or aquatic equipment. The combination of photogrammetry and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) generates a range of possibilities across multiple ...

A mixed‐methods approach for identifying high conservation value areas in the high‐altitude landscapes of the Indian Himalayan region

Geo: Geography and Environment, Volume 12, Issue 1, January‐June 2025.
Short Abstract A new framework for identifying high conservation value (HCV) areas has been developed. A mixed‐method approach incorporating multi‐step modelling was employed. HCVs provide a strategic tool for guiding conservation efforts and prioritizing resource allocation. HCVs support the sustainable management of natural resources and conservation

Episodic Seafloor Hydrothermal Alteration as a Source of Stable Remagnetizations in Archean Volcanic Rocks

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Interpreting the paleomagnetic records of altered rocks, especially those from Earth's earliest history, is complicated by metamorphic overprints and recrystallization of ferromagnetic minerals. However, these records may be as valuable as a primary signal if the timing and mechanism of alteration‐related remagnetizations can be ascertained ...
