Numerical Ecology with R

Numerical Ecology with R provides a long-awaited bridge between a textbook in Numerical Ecology and the implementation of this discipline in the R language. After short theoretical overviews, the authors accompany the users through the exploration of the m ...

Effect of Groundwater on Landslide Triggering

Cornelia Sara Brönnimann

Landslides belong to the most important natural hazards in all mountainous regions. It is wellknown that water is one of the major triggers of landslides. Numerous landslide studies discuss different effects that water may have on slope stability: decreasi ...

A study on the uplift mechanism of Tongjiezi dam using a coupled hydro-mechanical model

During filling in 1992 of the Tongiiezi reservoir, in Southwest China, it was noticed that the dam body and the rock masses on the right side of the valley were uplifted up to 22.2 mm and 24.3 mm respectively. After reservoir filling in 1993, the uplift co ...

Methods for predicting rockfall trajectories and runout zones

Vincent Labiouse

Rockfall hazard assessment without the use of rockfall trajectory and runout zone models is unthinkable in the 21st century. Such rockfall models have existed since the sixties, but nowadays an almost confusing palette of rockfall trajectory and runout zon ...

Tectonic controls on nearshore sediment accumulation and submarine canyon morphology offshore La Jolla, Southern California

Nicolas Le Dantec

CHIRP seismic and swath bathymetry data acquired offshore La Jolla, California provide an unprecedented three-dimensional view of the La Jolla and Scripps submarine canyons. Shore-parallel patterns of tectonic deformation appear to control nearshore sedime ...

GIS-based method for groundwater management and protection: geotypes serving 3D applications

Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot

Sustainable management of underground natural resources is more and more a worthwhile topic. In particular, worrying about groundwater protection becomes imperative. Taking into account the increase of incompatibilities between water conservation and the u ...

Comparative bioaccumulation of trace elements between Nautilus pompilius and Nautilus macromphalus (Cephalopoda: Nautiloidea) from Vanuatu and New Caledonia

Julien Boucher

The concentrations of 16 trace elements were investigated and compared for the first time in the digestive and excreting tissues of two Nautilus species (Cephalopoda: Nautiloidea) from two geologically contrasted areas: (1) N. macromphalus from New Caledon ...

Using predisposition factors for landslide hazard assessment: a new GIS-based methodology

Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot

Switzerland is exceptionally subjected to landslides; indeed, about 10% of its area is considered as unstable. Making this observation, its Department of the Environment (BAFU) introduced in 1997 a method to realize landslide hazard map. It is routinely us ...

Geological characterization of cataclastic rock samples using medical X-ray computerized tomography

Pierre Guillaume Christe

Technical difficulties associated with tunnelling operations in tectonized geological settings are frequently encountered. They may include instantaneous and delayed cavity convergence, sudden collapse of walls or roof of a gallery, outpouring of fault-fil ...
