How Do Modeling Choices and Erosion Zone Locations Impact the Representation of Connectivity and the Dynamics of Suspended Sediments in a Multi-Source Soil Erosion Model?
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)
[Abstract] Soil erosion and suspended sediment transport understanding is an important issue in terms of soil and water resources management in the critical zone. In mesoscale watersheds (>10 km2) the spatial distribution ...
Size Effect and Other Effects on Mode I Fracture Toughness Using Two Testing Methods
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Mode I fracture toughness (KIC) is an intrinsic material property that quantifies its resistance to tensile fracture propagation. The International Society for Rock Mechanics has endorsed four methods to determine ...
Photoelastic Stress Analysis of Mode I Fracture Toughness Tests Using PMMA Samples
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)
[Abstract] Rocks are usually inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials. The presence of foliation planes, grain boundaries or even microcracks may alter the stress distribution. In order to identify whether unusual behaviours ...
Revealing the spatio-temporal characteristics of drought in Mozambique and their relationship with large-scale climate variability
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract:] Study region: Mozambique. Study focus: Mozambique does not currently have the necessary tools for systematic monitoring and forecasting of drought at a subnational scale. The purpose of this study was to ...
Hydrofracturing tests on granite samples using a true triaxial device equipped with acoustic emission sensors
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)
[Abstract:] We present a series of tests performed on granite samples using a true triaxial device designed and built at the Rock Mechanics Laboratory (University of A Coruña). The experiments were performed using cubic ...
Anisotropic deformability and strength of slate from NW-Spain
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract:] Slates are metamorphic rocks characterized by the pervasive occurrence of cleavage or foliation producing a highly anisotropic mechanical behavior characterized by fissility. Deformability and strength of these ...
Drinking Water Provision and Quality at the Sahrawi Refugee Camps in Tindouf (Algeria) From 2006 to 2016
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Drinking water provision has been a constant challenge in the Sahrawi refugee camps, located in the desert near Tindouf (Algeria). The drinking water supply system is itself divided in three zones which pump ...
Stratification Strength and Light Climate Explain Variation in Chlorophyll 𝑎 at the Continental Scale in a European Multilake Survey in a Heatwave Summer
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2021-10-30)
[Abstract] To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the ...
Análisis y evaluación de las alternativas de protección de las aguas subterráneas durante las operaciones de extracción de los residuos (alquitranes ácidos) en una laguna de Arganda del Rey (Madrid)
(Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, 2021)
[Resumen:] La Comunidad de Madrid está llevando a cabo la restauración integral de una antigua gravera contaminada con residuos peligrosos, mayoritariamente sulfonatos de petróleo (alquitranes ácidos), procedentes del ...
Coupling artificial neural networks with the artificial bee colony algorithm for global calibration of hydrological models
(Springer, 2021)
[Abstract:] Hydrological models are widely used tools in water resources management. Their successful application requires an efficient calibration of the model parameters. Nowadays, there are very powerful global search ...
