Improved marine debris detection in satellite imagery with automatic refinement of coarse hand annotations
Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Elif Dilge Gül
Plastic litter is a major environmental hazard that endangers human, animal, and plant health on the planet. A substantial portion of plastic pollutants is washed from rivers and beaches into the oceans and aggregates at the surface as marine debris before ...
2023Venting turbidity currents for the sustainable use of reservoirs
Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun
Reservoir sedimentation is an ongoing issue, which endangers the sustainability of reservoirs. As well as reducing the capacity of a reservoir, sedimentation causes damage to hydraulic structures such as turbine intakes and bottom outlets. In addition, dow ...
2016Coalescent inferences in conservation genetics: should the exception become the rule?
Genetic estimates of effective population size (Ne) are an established means to develop informed conservation policies. Another key goal to pursue the conservation of endangered species is keeping the connectivity across fragmented environments, to which g ...
Royal Soc2016Interacting populations in heterogeneous environments
To optimally manage a metapopulation, managers and conservation biologists can favor a type of habitat spatial distribution (e.g. aggregated or random). However, the spatial distribution that provides the highest habitat occupancy remains ambiguous and num ...
Elsevier2012Inferring plant ecosystem organization from species occurrences
In this paper, we present an approach capable of extracting insights on ecosystem organization from merely occurrence (presence/absence) data. We extrapolate to the collective behavior by encapsulating some simplifying assumptions within a given set of con ...
Elsevier2010Effect of inclined jet screen on turbidity current
Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Christoph Oehy
The sustainable use of reservoirs for irrigation, flood protection, water supply and hydropower may be endangered due to unavoidable reservoir sedimentation. Turbidity currents are the main process for the transport and deposit of sediments in reservoirs, ...
