Protecting endangered species in the USA requires both public and private land conservation
Scientific Reports, 2020 Crucial to the successful conservation of endangered species is the overlap of their ranges with protected areas. We analyzed protected areas in the continental USA to assess the extent to which they covered the ranges of endangered tetrapods.

Using an engineered turf cover to support PV solar systems on landfills [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesUsing landfills as solar sites saves natural lands from destruction. The large space of a closed landfill usually has limited redevelopment options due to restricted site access and long-term operation and maintenance requirements.

Winter runoff events pose an unquantified continental-scale risk of high wintertime nutrient export
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Winters in snow-covered regions have warmed, likely shifting the timing and magnitude of nutrient export, leading to unquantified changes in water quality.

River capture in the middle reaches of the palaeo-Yarlung Zangbo River [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 There are 51 tributaries in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River (YZR), and the confluences of 87% of the tributaries west of Jiacha Gorge are high-angle or perpendicular, reflecting the anomalous development of these tributaries. In this paper,

Spatial Analysis of Land Degradation Susceptibility and Alternative Plants for Its Rehabilitation
Forum Geografi, 2019 One of the drawbacks of developing plants for the rehabilitation of degraded land in Indonesia is the relative lack of information about species that are suited to the local conditions.

Open Engineering, 2022 Soil functions such as water storage, soil filtration, and reducing reservoir life due to sediment load are directly affected by the process of “soil erosion.” The Universal Soil Loss Equation was adopted to predict the erodibility factor for watersheds ...

Watershed of a continuous function [PDF]
Signal Processing, 1994 The notion of watershed, used in morphological segmentation, has only a digital definition. In this paper, we propose to extend this definition to the continuous plane. Using this continuous definition, we present the watershed differences with classical edge detectors.

Scaling relations for watersheds [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2011 We study the morphology of watersheds in two and three dimensional systems subjected to different degrees of spatial correlations. The response of these objects to small, local perturbations is also investigated with extensive numerical simulations. We find the fractal dimension of the watersheds to generally decrease with the Hurst exponent, which ...

Sustainability aspects of geosynthetic landfill final cover systems [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesProgressively, geosynthetics have been used in combination with and in lieu of natural materials to solve complex geotechnical problems while offering a drastic reduction in carbon emissions and minimizing environmental impacts. Commonly used final cover
