Temporal change of near-surface shear wave velocity associated with rainfall in Northeast Honshu, Japan

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2018
We apply seismic interferometry to earthquake records to investigate temporal change of near-surface shear wave velocity associated with rainfall in Northeast Honshu, Japan.

A systematic review on rainfall thresholds for landslides occurrence

open access: yesHeliyon
The study of rainfall thresholds is vital in understanding the factors that trigger landslides, being one of the criteria applied to landslide early warning systems that aim to mitigate their consequences. These thresholds enable the prediction of landslide occurrences as a function of rainfall measurements.

Lost learning: Prevalence, inequalities and outcomes of internal exclusion in mainstream secondary schools

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal exclusion (isolation) is a behaviour management approach involving the temporary relocation of a pupil from their classroom to a designated isolation space as a consequence of disruptive behaviour. We present the first study of prevalence (i.e., what proportion of young people are isolated?), inequalities (i.e., who is more likely to ...

Theoretical investigation of process controls upon flood frequency: role of thresholds

open access: yes, 2006
International audienceTraditional statistical approaches to flood frequency inherently assume homogeneity and stationarity in the flood generation process.

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Rainfall-triggered landslides in the Lisbon region over 2006 and relationships with the North Atlantic Oscillation

open access: yes, 2008
International audienceLandslides occurred in the Lisbon area during the last 50 years were almost always induced by rainfall and have been used to establish rainfall thresholds for regional landslide activity.

Spatial patterns in thunderstorm rainfall events and their coupling with watershed hydrological response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Weather radar systems provide detailed information on spatial rainfall patterns known to play a significant role in runoff generation processes. In the current study, we present an innovative approach to exploit spatial rainfall information of air mass ...

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.
