Sand dune risk assessment in Sabha region, Libya using Landsat 8, MODIS, and Google Earth Engine images

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2018
Globally, sand dunes are a major environmental problem that causes damage to urban areas, transportation, and population. The current study proposes a comprehensive investigation on sand dune risk modeling in Sabha located in the southwestern part of ...

Some Tuco‐Tucos Hide More Than Others: An Integrative Approach Reveals Cryptic Diversity in Ctenomys (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) From Central Argentina

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Here, we adopt an integrative framework (molecular phylogenetics and geometric morphometrics) to reassess patterns of diversity and differentiation across this region. We analyzed cytochrome b sequences and quantified cranial shape variation. Our analyses indicate the presence of three species groups (mendocinus, talarum, and tucumanus) and two ...

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Learning Across the Divide: Understanding Knowledge Sharing Through Petrographic Analysis on Ceramics From the Rhine‐Meuse Delta During the Middle to Late Neolithic Transition (3400–2200 bce)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vlaardingen (VL) communities on the Dutch West coast (3400–2200 bce) are part of a unique, long‐term continuity in the European Neolithic. Despite large‐scale changes in European populations during the Neolithic, the genomic diversity and cultural practices of VL communities can be retraced to the Mesolithic.

Procurement of Senonian Flint for Bladelets Production at the Early PPNB Site of Nahal Zahal in the Northern Negev Established for the First Time Using Chemical Composition Analysis

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hypotheses of Senonian flint to be a prime source of prehistoric “chalcedony” flint artefacts from the Negev Desert (Israel) was not investigated in detail thus far. By combining trace‐element profiling with statistical interpretation, ten flint items from Nahal Zahal, an Early Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site in the northern Negev, were ...

Mechanical strength and environmental impacts of eco-self-compacting mortar containing dune sand in the Oued-Souf region of Algeria as cementitious materials

Budownictwo i Architektura
Desertification is a major global problem, while the scarcity of renewable energy sources continues to be a growing concern. Due to the abundance of dune sand in the southern regions of the Algerian Sahara, known as dry zones, and despite the beauty of ...
