Evaluation of rockfall hazard based on UAV technology and 3D Rockfall Simulations
International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics, 2023 Hacıabdullah village, where rockfall events occur frequently, is an important mountainous region located within the boundaries of Niğde province, which is one of the top provinces in Türkiye in terms of rockfall events and is located in the Central Anatolia Region. Despite the frequent occurrence of many rockfall events of varying sizes, no precautions

A probabilistic approach to integrate the effect of protection systems into rockfall hazard assessment [PDF]
, 2017 The paper introduces the essential features of a new strategy to develop reliable and computa-tionally cost-effective models of the mechanical response of a rockfall barrier subjected to realistic impact conditions. The approach combines the use of three-

Counting scars on tree stems to assess rockfall hazards: A low effort approach, but how reliable? [PDF]
, 2013 Rockfall is a widespread and hazardous process in mountain environments, but data on past events are only rarely available. Growth-ring series from trees impacted by rockfall were successfully used in the past to overcome the lack of archival records ...

Vine Tendril‐Inspired Cold‐Programmable Shape‐Memory Polymer Composites Using Sugar Beet Pulp
Small, EarlyView.Vine tendrils inspire a bio‐derived, cold‐programmable shape‐memory polymer composite (SMPC). Magnetically guided sugar beet pulp creates mesoscale heterogeneity within a glassy matrix, producing built‐in mechanical asymmetry for rapid, solvent‐free programming by simple stretching.

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Water sources in desert ecosystems are critical for wildlife survival, but they may also attract thousands of visitors, creating potential conflicts between humans and wildlife. Effective management strategies are essential to support human‐wildlife coexistence in these fragile arid environments, allowing for sustainable tourism while ...

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...
