Concept plan of a gravel pit lake located in NATURA 2000 area

open access: yes4D, 2014
In Hungary nowadays the gravel – after exploitation had finished from rivers – primarily comes to surface from strip mining of Pleistocene gravel terraces, as indispensable raw material for construction industry. The groundwater usually located in 2-4 m

Revisiting Inductively Coupled Wireless Coils in MRI: Mitigating Over‐Coupling With Preamplifiers

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Inductively coupled coils enhance local MRI sensitivity, yet strong coupling with nearby primary coils typically causes resonance splitting and impedance mismatch, which are traditionally considered detrimental. This work investigates why inductively coupled coils can still function effectively even in the presence of severe coupling ...

Where were all the trees? Computer vision meets landscape history to unlock the potential of historical Ordnance Survey maps

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The first edition of the Ordnance Survey's 1:2500 County Series is marked with treed areas, such as woodlands and orchards, and, remarkably, freestanding trees. Consequently, it is an unparalleled source of information on the distribution of trees across Britain in the mid‐late nineteenth century, when the maps were first surveyed. In order to

U/Th dating of Quaternary travertines at the middle River Llobregat (NE Iberian Peninsula, Nortwestern Mediterranean). Correlation with sea-level changes

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2007
The dating of the fluvial terraces of the middle River Llobregat enabled one to establish a correlation between the sedimentation episodes in continental zones and in neighbouring deltaic and coastal areas in the NE Iberian continental margin.

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait
