A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

The impact of a tidal barrage on coastal flooding due to storm surge in the Severn Estuary [PDF]

, 2019
The proposed Severn barrage is a controversial but widely discussed proposal to generate clean and renewable energy. A key concern with this technology is that such structures may cause other environmental problems.

Design and Application of a Physics-Informed Machine Learning Model for Salinity Prediction in the Nakdong River Estuary

한국해양공학회지
This paper proposes a hybrid framework to predict salinity in the Nakdong River Estuary by combining physics-based modeling with machine learning. Motivated by the increasing complexity in salinity intrusion owing to frequent barrage operations and ...

The institutional paradox of a substantivist conception of the economy in public policy: Insights from public procurement for solidarity economy in Ecuador

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecuador's 2008 Constitution advanced an ambitious substantive economic vision through Buen Vivir (Good Living), recognizing a plural economy which encompasses private, public and solidarity economy (SE) sectors. This paper aims to analyze public procurement programs in Ecuador, one of the flagship Buen Vivir policies for SE promotion.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

Nakdong Estuary Barrage and Land Reclamation – Morphological Aspects [PDF]

, 1984
The construction of the barrage will change the flow conditions in the entire estuary which will interfere in the present equilibrium between channel dimensions and flow conditions. Consequently, morphological changes in the estuary have to be taken into
