Hydrodynamic Characterization of USV Vessels with Innovative SWATH Configuration for Coastal Monitoring and Low Environmental Impact
Abstract The high costs associated with the use of research oceanographic vessels and the maturity of the unmanned surface vehicles (USV) makes now possible to develop systems for monitoring coastal areas based on networks of independent USVs. This...

Speeding up the optimal method of Drezner for the p-centre problem in the plane
Abstract This paper revisits an early but interesting optimal algorithm first proposed by Drezner to solve the continuous p-centre problem. The original algorithm is reexamined and efficient neighbourhood reductions which are mathematically...

In situ thermal characterization of cooling/crystallizing lavas during rheology measurements and implications for lava flow emplacement
Abstract Transport properties of natural silicate melts at super-liquidus temperatures are reasonably well understood. However, migration and transport of silicate melts in the Earth’s crust and at its surface generally occur at sub-liquidus...

Forecasting inundation from debris flows that grow volumetrically during travel, with application to the Oregon Coast Range, USA
Abstract Many debris flows increase in volume as they travel downstream, enhancing their mobility and hazard. Volumetric growth can result from diverse physical processes, such as channel sediment entrainment, stream bank collapse, adjacent...

A European aerosol phenomenology -4: Harmonized concentrations of carbonaceous aerosol at 10 regional background sites across Europe
Abstract Although particulate organic and elemental carbon (OC and EC) are important constituents of the suspended atmospheric particulate matter (PM), measurements of OC and EC are much less common and more uncertain than measurements of e.g. the...
