Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The fused data extracted from the distributed monitoring system as the data basis, combined with dynamic geological data, are imported into a deep learning model. As the geological conditions of mining and excavation change, the risk of water inrush at the working face is retrieved in real time.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Based on the 90 datasets, ERT and four optimization algorithms were used to build four hybrid models to predict the UCS of the backfill body. The SMA‐ERT model was the most effective model, and it can reliably guide the design of the backfill ratio parameters. Abstract This study analyzed the feasibility of using titanium (Ti) tailings as a backfilling

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This research proposes an interpretable hybrid stacking ensemble framework, optimized by the Sparrow Search Algorithm, to enhance hard rock pillar stability prediction. By integrating six machine learning models—k‐nearest neighbors, support vector machines, random forests, Gradient Boosting Decision Tree, eXtreme Gradient Boosting, and Light Gradient ...

The projected risk of plant invasions on the peri‐Antarctic islands under climate change
Ecography, EarlyView.The peri‐Antarctic islands have largely been shielded from alien plant species due to low human pressure, limited introduction pathways, and local harsh climates. However, climate change is expected to lower these barriers. We assess the vulnerability of 12 peri‐Antarctic islands to invasion by 2220 plant species invasive in at least one region of the ...

Eavesdropping on Marine Mammal Conversations: An Activity Suitable for the Visually Impaired
Current: The Journal of Marine Education, 2019 Ever wonder how marine mammals communicate with each other in an expansive dark ocean? Most of their communication is through the sense of sound, and their vocalizations can travel great distances in the ocean.

Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change
Ecography, EarlyView.Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

Ocean Governance and Marine Conservation: Institutional Work as a Lever for Ocean Sustainability
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ocean governance presents one of the most complex environmental policy challenges of our time, requiring coordinated action across multiple scales, sectors and stakeholder groups. This paper applies institutional work theory to systematically examine how actors create, maintain and disrupt the governance arrangements underpinning ocean ...
