Landfill Impacts on the Environment—Review
Tập 9 Số 10 - Trang 431
Waste management (WM) is a demanding undertaking in all countries, with
important implications for human health, environmental preservation,
sustainability and circular economy. The method of sanitary landfilling for
final disposal of waste remains a generally accepted and used method but the
available scientific evidence on the waste-related environmental and health
effects is not conclusive. Com...
A Validation of ERA5 Reanalysis Data in the Southern Antarctic Peninsula—Ellsworth Land Region, and Its Implications for Ice Core Studies
Tập 9 Số 7 - Trang 289
Climate reanalyses provide key information to calibrate proxy records in regions
with scarce direct observations. The climate reanalysis used to perform a proxy
calibration should accurately reproduce the local climate variability. Here we
present a regional scale evaluation of meteorological parameters using
ERA-Interim and ERA5 reanalyses compared to in-situ observations from 13
automatic weathe...
Stable Isotope Systematics of Coalbed Gas during Desorption and Production
Tập 7 Số 2 - Trang 43
The stable carbon isotope ratios of coalbed methane (CBM) demonstrate diagnostic
changes that systematically vary with production and desorption times. These
shifts can provide decisive, predictive information on the behaviour and
potential performance of CBM operations. Samples from producing CBM wells show a
general depletion in 13C-methane with increasing production times and
corresponding shif...
Documentation of Archaeology-Specific Workflow for Airborne LiDAR Data Processing
Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 26
Airborne LiDAR is a widely accepted tool for archaeological prospection. Over
the last decade an archaeology-specific data processing workflow has been
evolving, ranging from raw data acquisition and processing, point cloud
processing and product derivation to archaeological interpretation,
dissemination and archiving. Currently, though, there is no agreement on the
specific steps or terminology. ...
Geo-Hazard-Based Approach for the Estimation of Seismic Vulnerability and Damage Scenarios of the Old City of Senerchia (Avellino, Italy)
Tập 9 Số 2 - Trang 59
The large-scale seismic risk assessment is a crucial point for safeguarding
people and planning adequate mitigation plans in urban areas. The current
research work aims at analysing a sector of the historic centre of Senerchia,
located in the province of Avellino, in order to assess the seismic
vulnerability and damage of old masonry building compounds. First, the
typological classification of the...
Hydrodynamic and Debris-Damming Failure of Bridge Decks and Piers in Steady Flow
Tập 8 Số 11 - Trang 409
In countries with steep rivers, such as Japan and the United States, bridges
fail on an annual basis. Bridges on spread footings are especially susceptible
to failure by hydrodynamic loading, often exacerbated by debris damming. Here,
such failures are investigated via small scale model laboratory experiments and
full scale numerical simulations. In the laboratory, lift and drag forces and
overtur...
Historical Monitoring of Shoreline Changes in the Cua Dai Estuary, Central Vietnam Using Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing Data
Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 72 - 2017
Cua Dai is one of the major estuarine areas in Central Vietnam that plays a
significant role in local maritime transport, fisheries, and tourism activities.
This paper presents a study that monitored the shoreline dynamics of the Cua Dai
estuary over a period of 50 years (1964–2014) by using field survey data,
geographic information systems techniques, and multi-temporal satellite remote
sensing i...
Geotourism at the Natural Park of La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone (Catalonia, Spain): Impact, Viability, and Sustainability
Tập 8 Số 8 - Trang 295
La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone is a suitable case study to analyze the impact and
sustainability of geotourism on a protected volcanic field, as it has allowed
the transformation of a poorly known territory into one of the best known and
most visited geosites of Catalonia (Spain). The protection of this volcanic area
represented the end of legal and illegal quarrying activities that significantly
damag...
Geotechnical Properties of Two Pyroclastic Deposits Involved in Catastrophic Flowslides for Implementation in Early Warning Systems
Tập 9 Số 1 - Trang 24
Air-fall pyroclastic deposits on steep slopes in Campania (Southern Italy) are
periodically subjected to rainfall-induced landslides that may evolve into
catastrophic flowslides. To protect built-up areas, early warning systems (EWSs)
have been implemented which are essentially based on pluviometric thresholds or
models unable to accurately monitor the physical phenomena responsible for
flowslide ...
Morphodynamic Trends of the Ribb River, Ethiopia, Prior to Dam Construction
Tập 8 Số 7 - Trang 255
The meandering Ribb River flows in northwest Ethiopia to Lake Tana, the source
of the Blue Nile River. The river has already undergone changes due to several
human interventions, such as embanking, sand mining, water extraction and lake
level regulation for hydropower. At present, a dam and a weir are under
construction to store and divert water for irrigation. This will strongly alter
both water ...
