Landscape persistence and stakeholder perspectives: The case of Romania's Carpathians

Alexandre Buttler, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer

The traditional use of land for food, fuel and wood created cultural landscapes, which are threatened across Europe. The factors which contributed to their endangerment need to be identified to achieve effective preservation of such landscapes. The aim of ...

Wind variability and sheltering effects on measurements and modeling of air-water exchange for a small lake

Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort

Lakes with a surface area of less than 10 km^2 account for over 50% of the global cumulative lake surface water area, and make up more than 99% of the total number of global lakes, ponds, and wetlands. Within the boreal regions as well as some temperate an ...

Assessing Seasonal Backscatter Variations with Respect to Uncertainties in Soil Moisture Retrieval in Siberian Tundra Regions

Isabelle Amandine Gouttevin

Knowledge of surface hydrology is essential for many applications, including studies that aim to understand permafrost response to changing climate and the associated feedback mechanisms. Advanced remote sensing techniques make it possible to retrieve a ra ...

Lightning Electromagnetic Fields and Their Induced Currents on Buried Cables. Part I: The Effect of an Ocean-Land Mixed Propagation Path

Keyhan Sheshyekani

We use a full-wave finite-element-based solution of Maxwell's equations for the evaluation of lightning electromagnetic fields inside a vertically stratified, two-layer ground (ocean-land mixed propagation path) and their induced currents on the shield of ...

Influence of tides and waves on the fate of nutrients in a nearshore aquifer: Numerical simulations

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

A numerical investigation is presented that demonstrates the influence of tides and waves on the transport and transformation of nutrients (NO3-; NH4+; PO43-) in a homogeneous unconfined nearshore aquifer and subsequent fluxes to the sea. Simulations of an ...

Observation of Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes Over a Mixed Savanna – Agricultural Catchment in the Semi-Arid Sudanian Savanna, Burkina Faso

Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Theophile Mande, Nicolaas Cornelis van de Giesen, Scott W. Tyler

Evaporation and the surface energy balance over two land cover types in Sudanian savanna were investigated in terms of their seasonal and interannual variability using four years of eddy covariance measurement (2009-2013). The observations demonstrate the ...

Towards the Layered City: Redefining the Role of Underground Resources in Future Urbanization

Michael Robert Doyle

For the past century, the urban underground has been developed piecemeal rather than as the object of a long-term planning effort. There is a growing awareness by urban planners and engineers that the underground contains not only potential usable space, b ...

Cross-shore transport pathways between coastal aquifers and coastal seas: Archetype of a nearshore variable-density contaminant plume

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Roham Bakhtyar, Clare Robinson

On permeable beaches, tides and waves lead to an upper saline plume underneath the beach face in addition to the saltwater wedge. The transport and fate of land-derived chemicals depend on process dynamics at the land-sea interface, which can be examined u ...

Semisupervised segmentation of remote sensing images with active queries.

Devis Tuia

We propose a semiautomatic procedure to generate land cover maps from remote sensing images. The proposed algorithm starts by building a hierarchical clustering tree, and exploits the most coherent pixels with respect to the available class information. Fo ...

Water Vapor and Heat Exchanges over Lakes

Nikki Vercauteren

Quantifying the interaction of the atmosphere and water surfaces is of great importance for water resources management, climate studies of ocean-atmosphere exchange and regional climate in coastal areas. Atmospheric dynamics over water surfaces have genera ...
