A Bayesian classification model to reconstruct lifetime movement patterns of riverine fish using environmental tracers

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental tracers, including both elemental concentrations and isotope ratios, are widely used to reconstruct the movement patterns of animals throughout landscapes. The methodology involves creating a map that describes the distribution of the environmental tracer across the landscape, an isoscape and then matching the values of the same ...

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Integrating Sr isotopes, microchemistry, and genetics to reconstruct Salmonidae species and life history

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent approaches to fisheries research emphasize the importance of the coproduction of knowledge in building resilient and culturally mindful fisheries management frameworks. Despite widespread recognition of the need for Indigenous knowledge and historical reference points as baseline data, archaeological data are rarely included in ...

Assessing Mobility Among Inferred Elites Interred in Crypts 1–3 on Kom H at Tungul (Old Dongola), Sudan

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the capital of Makuria, Tungul was a major sociopolitical center within medieval Nubia, being the seat of a bishopric and a monastic community. During the excavation of the Kom H monastery, three burial crypts (Crypts 1–3) were uncovered.

Dealing With Inbuilt Age: A Bayesian Approach to Radiocarbon Dating of Rice, Bamboo and Charcoal From Non Ban Jak, Thailand

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New radiocarbon determinations from rice grains and bamboo have been obtained from Non Ban Jak, Northeast Thailand. These, along with charcoal, date a late Iron Age building sequence. The results come from short‐lived species and charcoal with potential inbuilt age. We built a series of Bayesian models to obtain a reliable chronology.

Advancements in large floodplain inundation mapping: Integrated computational modeling and remote sensing techniques

open access: yesEnergy Nexus
The devastating impacts of flooding can be mitigated by strengthening the integration between hydrodynamic modeling and remote sensing, thereby improving floodplain management and the accuracy of inundation mapping.

Reducing the cost of South Australia of achieving agreed salinity targets in the River Murray. [PDF]

open access: yes
Past irrigation development has lead to rising salt loads in the River Murray and its floodplains, and reduced river flows. Even in the absence of any further development, river and floodplain salt loading as the result of this irrigation is anticipated ...

Quantification of channel planform change on the lower Rangitikei River, New Zealand, 1949-2007: response to management? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Rangitikei River, a large gravel‐bed wandering river located in the North Island of New Zealand, has outstanding scenic characteristics, recreational, fisheries and wildlife habitat features.
