Evolution of the hydro-climate system in the Lake Baikal basin
Summary Climatic changes can profoundly alter hydrological conditions in river basins. Lake Baikal is the deepest and largest freshwater reservoir on Earth, and has a unique ecosystem with numerous endemic animal and plant species. We here identify...

First 20 years of DNDC (DeNitrification DeComposition): Model evolution
Abstract Mathematical models, such as the DNDC (DeNitrification DeComposition) model, are powerful tools that are increasingly being used to examine the potential impacts of management and climate change in agriculture. DNDC can simulate the...

A Matlab© toolbox for calculating spring indices from daily meteorological data
Abstract Metrics to track seasonal transitions are needed for a wide variety of ecological and climatological applications. Here a MATLAB©toolkit for calculating spring indices is documented. The spring indices have been widely used in earlier...

Effects of Simulation Leakage of CCS on Physical-chemical Properties of Soil
Abstract Because of the risk of leakage with CCS (Carbon Capture and Sequestration) projects, the near surface ecological impact is considered to be an important area on CCS. In order to research soil impact of CCS, physical-chemical properties of...

Optimised spatial planning to meet long term urban sustainability objectives
Abstract Urbanisation, environmental risks and resource scarcity are but three of many challenges that cities must address if they are to become more sustainable. However, the policies and spatial development strategies implemented to achieve...

When will Cyclogenesis Commence Given a Favorable Tropical Environment?
Abstract A numerical diagnosis of tropical cyclogenesis in a quiescent, rotating environment is presented to suggest an answer to the above question. Our research approach employs near-cloud-resolving numerical simulations to quantitatively analyze...

Comparison of integrated clustering methods for accurate and stable prediction of building energy consumption data
Abstract Clustering methods are often used to model energy consumption for two reasons. First, clustering is often used to process data and to improve the predictive accuracy of subsequent energy models. Second, stable clusters that are reproducible ...

Adapting SWAT hillslope erosion model to predict sediment concentrations and yields in large Basins
Abstract The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is used worldwide for water quality assessment and planning. This paper aimed to assess and adapt SWAT hillslope sediment yield model (Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation, MUSLE) for applications...

Application of fine managed pressure drilling technique in complex wells with both blowout and lost circulation risks
Abstract Fractured carbonate reservoirs are susceptible to blowout and lost circulation during drilling, which not only restricts drilling speed, but also poses big threat to well control. Moreover, there are few technical means available to...

Analysing the consistency of martian methane observations by investigation of global methane transport
Abstract Reports of methane on Mars at different times imply varying spatial distributions. This study examines whether different observations are mutually consistent by using a global circulation model to investigate the time evolution of methane...

Evaluation of risk assessment methodologies using the In Salah CO2 storage project as a case history
Abstract Risk assessment and management represent critical elements of developing a CO2 storage site and assuring its viability throughout the project lifetime. Risk assessment and management informs the selection of an appropriate storage site,...
