The Concept of the Geotourism Potential and Its Practical Application: A Case Study of the Prządki (the Spinners) Nature Reserve in the Carpathians, Poland

This paper reviews the recent use of the term “geotourism potential” in the scientific literature and proposes a new approach to the concept of geotourism potential. The concept assumes that every geotourism object has the well-developed fe...

Numerical simulation of irregular section underground structure shaking table test model

Based on the the large shaking table test results on irregular section subway station structure in soft soil, an overall time-history numerical simulation is conducted to study the nonlinear dynamic interaction of the soil-irregular undergr...

The Integrity and Tightness of Underground Hydrogen Storage Systems: A Critical Review of Geological Barriers, Well Sealing, Leakage Risks and Future Perspectives

Underground storage of green hydrogen is a strategic enabler of large-scale renewable deployment, but its feasibility rests on a hard problem: keeping a small, highly mobile molecule confined underground for decades without safety or enviro...

Handbook of Agricultural Geophysics

Precision farming, site infrastructure assessment, hydrologic monitoring, and environmental investigations- these are just a few current and potential uses of near-surface geophysical methods in agriculture. Responding to the growing demand...

Stormwater characterisation and modelling for Sungai Air Hitam in Selangor, Malaysia using model for urban stormwater improvement conceptualisation (music)

The aim of this study is to evaluate the current water quality status of one of the urban rivers in Malaysia, called Sungai Air Hitam. The river's water supply is not only unsuitable for the inhabitants but also hazardous to the aquatic spe...

True 2-D Resistivity Imaging from Vertical Electrical Soundings to Support More Sustainable Rural Water Supply Borehole Siting in Malawi

To improve borehole siting for rural water supply, an advanced resistivity method was adapted for developing country use and demonstrated in Malawi. The method was designed to be low cost, developing-country accessible, efficient. It allows...

Intra-seasonal Variation of Rainfall and Climate Characteristics in Kabul River Basin

In Afghanistan, spring and summertime flash floods result in 54.3% of all natural disasters with an average annual economic loss of US$92.17 million between 1990 and 2014. Knowledge of climate and rainfall periodicity are urgently needed fo...

Compost Quality and Markets Are Pivotal for Sustainability in Circular Food-Nutrient Systems: A Case Study of Sri Lanka

Sustainable management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a critical issue around the world, especially in South Asia where waste generation is expected to double by 2050. Closing the food-nutrient cycle through composting biodegradable MSW ...

Amphibious Worlds:Environments, Infrastructures, Ontologies

Presently, we are witness to a global intensification of water-related disasters related to flooding, sinking erosion, and drought, reflecting changes in global water circulation, rising sea levels and changing weather patterns. Indeed, wat...

Traffic Fatalities and Urban Infrastructure: A Spatial Variability Study Using Geographically Weighted Poisson Regression Applied in Cali (Colombia)

The mobility plan and the road infrastructure works implemented, together with the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) connected bus system in its first two phases, generated optimistic expectations about the reduction of lethal crashes in the city. Th...

A review work of urban ecosystem services and their interactions with dweller demand factors in modern China

Nowadays, various urban ecosystem services (UES) provided by urban green infrastructure (UGI) have been the concern of scholars worldwide. And as China being recognized as a living laboratory in sustainable studies, concerns toward UES prov...

Collision Avoidance Strategies for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems in Structured Airspace Using a Roundabout Intersection

The increasing size of the Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) ecosystem necessitates effective infrastructure and Collision Avoidance (CA) systems to facilitate high-density UAS traffic in urban environments. Unfortunately, current-generation A...
