Rainfall characteristics such as intensity, duration, and frequency are key determinants of the hydro-geomorphological response of a catchment. The presence of non-linear and threshold effects makes the relationship between rainfall variability and geomorp ...
Context • Groundwater major water resource throughout the world that is heterogeneously distributed and sustains diversified uses • The sustainability of groundwater usage highly dependent on the relative rates of groundwater abstraction e g via pumping) a ...
Forest soils harbor hyper-diverse microbial communities which fundamentally regulate carbon and nutrient cycling across the globe. Directly testing hypotheses on how microbiome diversity is linked to forest carbon storage has been difficult, due to a lack ...
The advancement of motor augmentation and the broader domain of human-machine interaction rely on a seamless integration with users' physical and cognitive capabilities. These considerations may markedly fluctuate among individuals on the basis of their ag ...
The Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) is a quantitative index that determines the capacity of a given area to meet habitat requirements for a specific species with respect to given variables. The degree of universality of this index is not well understood ye ...
Ecohydrology and epidemiology share a deep bond in infectious disease modelling. The former focuses on the interaction among species and their water-controlled environment (i.e., the study of water controls on the biota). The latter revolves around specif ...
Microcomputed tomography (mu CT) is a nondestructive X-ray imaging method used in plant physiology to visualize in situ plant tissues that enables assessments of embolized xylem vessels. Whereas evidence for X-ray-induced cellular damage has been reported, ...
Robotics is entering our daily lives. The discipline is increasingly crucial in fields such as agriculture, medicine, and rescue operations, impacting our food, health, and planet. At the same time, it is becoming evident that robotic research must embrace ...
The transition towards clean renewable energy sources, where wind and solar are prone to variation, requires adequate energy storage. Power-to-methane (PtM) systems can be part of the solution. Specifically, solid-oxide-electrolyser (SOE) based PtM systems ...
Monitoring forests, in particular their response to climate and land use change, requires studying long time scales. While efficient deep learning methods have been developed to process short time series of satellite imagery, leveraging long time series of ...
