Can stream and riparian restoration offset climate change impacts to salmon populations?
Abstract Understanding how stream temperature responds to restoration of riparian vegetation and channel morphology in context of future climate change is critical for prioritizing restoration actions and recovering imperiled salmon populations. We...

A Methodology to Estimate Leakages in Water Distribution Networks Based on Inlet Flow Data Analysis
Abstract Water loss control and reduction is a major issue in Water Distribution Network (WDN) management worldwide. In many WDNs, the infrastructure monitoring in terms of flow/pressure measurements through the network, is not implemented yet and...

Mapping interactions between geology, subsurface resource exploitation and urban development in transforming cities using InSAR Persistent Scatterers: Two decades of change in Florence, Italy
Abstract Urban expansion and city transformation are increasing reality across the world. Now more than ever it is essential to understand and map at the appropriate scale the processes happening along the verticality and horizontality of cities, to ...

Evaluation of an acoustic remote sensing method for frontal-zone studies using double-diffusive instability microstructure data and density interface data from intrusions
Abstract Understanding intrusive exchange at oceanic water mass fronts may depend on building data-constrained models of the processes, but obtaining the needed representative and comprehensive data is challenging. Acoustic imaging (remote sensing)...

Future harvest of living resources in the Arctic Ocean north of the Nordic and Barents Seas: A review of possibilities and constraints
Abstract Global warming drives changes in oceanographic conditions in the Arctic Ocean and the adjacent continental slopes. This may result in favourable conditions for increased biological production in waters at the northern continental shelves....

The differences in morphological development between the intertidal flats of the Eastern and Western Scheldt
Abstract Human interventions have a large impact on estuarine morphology. The intertidal flats in the Eastern Scheldt and Western Scheldt estuaries (The Netherlands) have faced substantial morphological changes over the past decades. These changes...

On the behaviour of fully-discrete flux reconstruction schemes
Abstract In this study we employ von Neumann analyses to investigate the dispersion, dissipation, group velocity, and error properties of several fully-discrete flux reconstruction (FR) schemes. We consider three FR schemes paired with two explicit...
