Wonder as a Gateway to Science Meaning‐Making: Primary Pupils’ Narrative Journeys

Future in Educational Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores how wonder fosters transformative learning in science education for pupils (11–12 years old), creating meaning about cycles in nature. As an emotional and epistemic trigger, wonder may bridge everyday experiences with abstract scientific concepts by stimulating curiosity and creativity. Through a narrative writing task, the

Mass movement in Tangoio conservation reserve northern Hawkes Bay [PDF]

, 1971
In a random sample of 52 valley-side profiles at Tangoio, mass movements are shown to occur preferentially on profiles with a northerly aspect, which are long, or steeply sloping.

Exploring Belonging Through the Student Union: The Power of Familiar Faces and Comfortable Spaces

New Directions for Higher Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since their origin, college unions have played a significant role in fostering a sense of belonging and advancing the academic mission of colleges. However, published empirical studies remain scarce due to the focus of college union professionals’ work on both student development and facility operations.

The Glacial Legacy of the Geneva Basin: Morphology and implications of an intricate tunnel valley system revealed from 3D seismic data

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Like other perialpine basins and glaciated margins, the Geneva Basin in SW Switzerland is characterised by buried tunnel valleys, which are elongated incisions widely attributed to subglacial meltwater erosion beneath continental ice sheets. However, an inclusive understanding of the geological control on the evolution of the glacial landscape

Burgers-type empirical creep model for unsaturated soil considering matric suction

Shenzhen Daxue xuebao. Ligong ban
Reservoir bank slopes are often in an unsaturated state due to water level fluctuations and atmospheric precipitation, which can easily trigger landslides. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a creep model for unsaturated soils that accounts for matric

A Surrogate Model for Stability Assessment of Two‐Layered Cohesive Slopes

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel surrogate model for rapid stability evaluation of two‐layered cohesive slopes under undrained conditions. The model eliminates the need for iterative calculations and slip surface searches, allowing for fast and accurate stability assessments without reliance on advanced numerical tools. The formulation is derived
