Assessment of soil erosion by RUSLE model using remote sensing and GIS - A case study of Nethravathi Basin
Abstract Soil erosion is a serious problem arising from agricultural intensification, land degradation and other anthropogenic activities. Assessment of soil erosion is useful in planning and conservation works in a watershed or basin. Modelling can ...

Estimating the Supply and Demand for Deep Geologic CO2 Storage Capacity over the Course of the 21st Century: A Meta-analysis of the Literature
Abstract Whether there is sufficient geologic CO2 storage capacity to allow CCS to play a significant role in mitigating climate change has been the subject of debate since the 1990s. This paper presents a meta- analysis of a large body of recently...

Measuring Stress in Si Ingots Using Linear Birefringence
Abstract We report near infrared (NIR) linear birefringence measurements on shaped and surface finished Czochralski (CZ) - grown silicon ingots. The linear birefringence was measured using a commercially available NIR system. All measurements were...

Monitoring Approaches for Detecting and Evaluating CO2 and Formation Water Leakages into Near-surface Aquifers
Abstract The ambition to apply carbon capture and storage (CCS) requires the provision of effective monitoring approaches that can be applied to detect and to characterize a potential migration or leakage of CO2 and saline formation water into...

Near-airport distribution of the environmental costs of aviation
Abstract Aircraft noise, air quality, and climate change damages are spatially and temporally heterogeneous. While policymakers often focus on aggregate cost-benefit analysis to examine tradeoffs in aviation environmental policy, these analyses do...

Underwater current leakage between encapsulated NiChrome tracks: Implications for strain-gauges and other implantable devices
Abstract We present the results of experiments aimed at identifying a suitable polymer for the encapsulation of thin-film strain gauges for underwater applications (with a view of using it in an instrumented bone fusion nail). The leakage currents...
