Raman Line Scan Analyses and a New Hypothesis for the Formation of Anatase‐Hosting Microbialites: Study of the Stromatolites From Saint‐Jean‐de‐la‐Rivière, Cotentin, France

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Micrometer analysis of millimeter lines of Raman spectra concludes in the association of anatase and graphitized organic matter (graphogen). The photosynthetic microorganisms at the origin of the microbialites produce O2, which is transformed by TiO2 into reactive species that, in turn, decompose the organic matter of the microorganisms. ABSTRACT Raman

Nearshore Wave Transformation Domains from Video Imagery

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Within the nearshore area, three wave transformation domains can be distinguished based on the wave properties: shoaling, surf, and swash zones.

Technical review of shoreline accretion and storm erosion modelling implemented for NAMDEB Southern Coastal Mine

open access: yes, 2021
The mining operation of Namdeb Diamond Corporation in the Southern Coastal Mine (Oranjemund, Namibia) relies on the continuous seaward advance of the shoreline, achieved by artificial placement of large volumes of sediment along the coast.

A comparison of monitoring methods for inferring demographics of a pond‐breeding amphibian population over 14 years

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used 4 sampling methods to estimate or index the abundance and sex ratio of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) over 14 years. The present study highlights the importance of considering individual heterogeneity in capture probability when estimating abundance of pond‐breeding amphibians from capture data with imperfect detection. Abstract Long‐

Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

A method for predicting future shorelines based on weighted-Markov-chains

open access: yesGeocarto International
Shoreline migration can directly reflect the stability of marine ecology, and human beings may be reminded to protect shorelines. However, shoreline migration has considerable randomness, and each segment of the shoreline has undergone highly diverse ...

Coupling Water Purification and Carbon Sequestration at Various Spatial Scales From Supply and Demand Perspective

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing ecosystem‐service supply and demand is central to understanding both the natural and social dimensions of ecosystem services and to enhancing human well‐beings. Concurrently, collaborative efforts are underway to improve multiple ecosystem services, including the promotion of carbon neutrality and water purification (WP) within basin

Effects of sediment grain size and seasonal changes on macrobenthic community structure inhabiting the south and southeastern parts of the Caspian Sea shoreline [PDF]

open access: yesبوم‌شناسی آبزیان, 2021
In this study, we investigated the effects of sediment grain size and seasonal change on the structure of macrobenthic communities in the south and southeastern shorelines of the Caspian Sea for one year using a hand corer.

QUANTIFICATION OF SHORELINE RHYTHMICITY

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 1984
The study of beach morphology, for example, its changes with wave and tide conditions, is facilitated by the development of simple numerical values which characterize the morphology. Multivariate (EOF) analysis of topographic contour data is a means for determining important morphologic components which vary independently.

A simple index for assessing cumulative human impacts on mountain lakes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain lakes are highly sensitive ecosystems and effective sentinels of environmental change, yet the exposure and magnitude of the human footprint remain poorly quantified. In this study, we develop a simple and non‐invasive abiotic index to assess cumulative pressures on mountain lakes. The proposed index integrates eight variables grouped
