Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

, 2015 Weirs or bed sills are river training structures that are used for raising upstream water level, bed stabilization and reducing flow velocity. During high flow events, the weir is fully submerged in the river and scouring occurs both upstream and ...

Dermatologic Best Practices for Manicures and Nail Care: A Systematic Review
JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Manicure and pedicure procedures are widely viewed as benign cosmetic practices, yet emerging evidence links them to various dermatologic complications, including dermatitis, infection, photodamage and, in rare cases, cutaneous malignancy.

A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

Scour at Breakwaters Under Combined Waves and Current
, 2015 Bed profiles perpendicular to breakwater have been measured for orthogonal combined wave and current scour. The bedprofiles show the distinct features of the wave scour forming due to the presence of recirculating cells, namely deposition/scour at the ...

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Drivers of individual plant species contributions to β‐diversity are scale‐dependent
Oikos, EarlyView.Species introductions and local extinctions of native species are driving biotic homogenisation in plant communities by reducing β‐diversity. Individual species vary in their contributions to β‐diversity (species contribution to β‐diversity; species‐β), yet our understanding of how species characteristics shape these contributions remains limited ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...

Live-bed pier scour in a covered flow
, 2017 Results are presented for a novel experimental investigation of live-bed scour at a cylindrical pier in covered flow. The experimental campaign also comprehended a reference scour test in clear-water conditions. Results showed that the time to achieve a
