Evaluation of Sediment Connectivity Indices to Improve the Prediction of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Sediment Yield for a Large River Basin (Wei River, China)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sediment connectivity between source areas and the main streams or local sinks is a complex and dynamic process, especially in large basins due to multiple heterogeneities and interactions between connectivity components. Sediment connectivity indices are promising tools to investigate sediment transport, especially in data‐scarce or large ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Enhanced Urban Flood Hazard Assessment by Stochastic Event Catalog

Water Resources Research
Assessing flood severity in urban areas is a pivotal task for urban resilience and climate adaptation. However, the lack of in situ measurements hinders direct spatial estimation of flood return periods, while conventional assumptions about rainstorm ...

Flood risk assessment of metro stations based on the SMAA-2-FFS-H method: a case study of the “7 $$\cdot$$ · 20” rainstorm in Zhengzhou, China

Stochastic environmental research and risk assessment (Print), 2023
Motivated by the realistic demand of reducing the flood risk of urban metro stations, this paper proposes an innovative research framework for flood risk assessment and classification.

‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.

Floods and Rainstorms Impacts, Responses and Coping Among Households in Ilorin, Kwara Stat

Journal of Educational and Social Research, 2013
Floods and rainstorms affect households each year in Ilorin and contribute to endemic poverty among the poor households in the city. Climate change and anticipated increases in extreme weather events will exacerbate this. This study examines the impacts of flooding and rainstorms in the city and the current responses and coping among the affected ...

Oxygen consumption from air and water, ammonia and urea‐N excretion, and Na+ fluxes during progressive aquatic hypoxia in Amazonian armoured catfish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps and Pterygoplichthys pardalis

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Amazonian loricariid fish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, from the Rio Negro, and Pterygoplichthys pardalis, from the Rio Solimões, are facultative air‐breathers that can use the stomach as an air‐breathing organ. Measurement of oxygen uptake under progressive aquatic hypoxia revealed a relatively high hypoxia resistance of both species.
