Application of a GIS-based revised FUSLE model in the Shangshe catchment
Abstract To support policy decisions, the greatest need is for models that can produce robust results using readily available data. The ER-USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation with Effective Rain erosivity) model was developed from USLE with an...

Evaluating Mg/Ca in belemnite calcite as a palaeo-proxy
Abstract The Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, δ18O and δ13C compositions are given for well-preserved specimens of ten belemnite species/genera from three stratigraphic intervals. The data help assess the use of these proxies for palaeo-oceanography. Samples are from...

Scenarios of land use and land cover change in the conterminous United States: Utilizing the special report on emission scenarios at ecoregional scales
Abstract Global environmental change scenarios have typically provided projections of land use and land cover for a relatively small number of regions or using a relatively coarse resolution spatial grid, and for only a few major sectors. The...

Toxicity on Anabas Testudineus: A Case Study of Sanitary Landfill Leachate
Abstract In many parts of the developing world, leachate treatment system is not properly installed and managed that landfill leachate usually flows into existing water bodies. Consequently, heavy metal in leachate could lead to biomagnification of...

Physics-based Surrogates for Low-cost Modeling of Microwave Structures
Abstract High-fidelity electromagnetic (EM) simulation is a very accurate but computationally expensive way of evaluating the performance of microwave structures. In many situations, it has to be done multiple times when conducting various design...

In-situ and Laboratory Tests to Evaluate the Impact of Water Table Fluctuations on Stability of Underground Chalk Mines
Abstract Shallow underground mines can be flooded if there is a rise in the water table, which reduces pillar strength and increases risk of collapse and surface subsidence. To prevent this, INERIS is studying rock behavior in two underground chalk...

The use of polar angle, polar arm and other physical attributes in rock characterization
Abstract Sandstone reservoirs and other rock type properties can be variable from the time of deposition up to their burial. Rock texture and structure in addition to diagenetic changes control the reservoir characteristics, fluid flow and...
