Mesh design for electrical resistivity imaging of agricultural dikes

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) shows promise for investigating earthen flood barriers. We are interested in the applicability of ERI for aiding maintenance and construction efforts on agricultural dikes in the upper Bay of Fundy, Canada.

Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Analysis Explores Diverse Domestic Goose Management Practices in Medieval and Postmedieval Russia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studying goose domestication through archaeological finds has been challenging due to the similar skeletal morphology of the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser). We analyzed stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes from bone collagen of subfossil domestic and potentially domestic geese to ...

Biodiversiteit op de Scheldeschorren [PDF]

, 2001
The tidal marshes along the Scheldt estuary are rather unique in Europe, because they still exist along the complete salinity gradient. Key ecological factors for the vegetation are salinity, tidal regime and current and historical management.

Turbulent snow transport and accumulation: New reduced‐order models and diagnostics

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Our new reduced‐order models of snow particle transport provide high‐fidelity calculations of snow accumulation in turbulent flows at significantly reduced computational costs. Additional accumulation diagnostics from the reduced‐order model predict complex patterns of particle concentration in turbulent boundary layers via coherent flow structures in ...

Pickering Brook Salt Marsh Restoration - Phase II [PDF]

, 2005
In the early 1900’s, the majority of coastal salt marshes in New England were ditched as part of an aggressive mosquito control program. In an attempt to eradicate mosquito-breeding habitat, open water areas were drained by a series of ditches excavated ...

Tourism as a Catalyst for Blue Carbon Restoration and Conservation: Pathways, Gaps, and Opportunities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tourism is a major driver of coastal economies worldwide, yet it is also a growing source of pressure on blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Nowadays, tourism‐led conservation/restoration is increasingly promoted under the banner of regenerative tourism, but how these projects are motivated ...

As marismas da Baía de Paranaguá: características gerais, modos de apropriação e implicações para a legislação ambiental [PDF]

, 2003
This review presents the current knowledge on salt marshes of Paranaguá Bay (Southem Brazil) and analyses their floristic, faunistic and physiographic differences in relation to local mangroves. Usage and traditional management of local salt marshes have

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.

Hampton-Seabrook Estuary Habitat Restoration Compendium [PDF]

, 2009
The goal of this report is to identify restoration opportunities within the watershed derived from data on habitat change. Many other factors exist that are important in the identification and selection of restoration projects, including water quality ...
