Sedimentary architecture of the microbial mound–shoal complex: a case study of the Ediacaran Dengying Formation, Sichuan Basin, China by Qinyu Xia, Zhenhua Guo, Fei Zhang, Lin Zhang, Rui Xu, Xue Wang, Wenzheng Li, Shuyuan Shi, Haijun Yan, Yuyang Liu

“…The stacking styles of MMSCs are fundamentally controlled by the relationship between MMSC sedimentation rates and variations in accommodation space, with the latter predominantly influenced by fluctuations in sea level. Superimposed MMSC sedimentation rates are comparable to accommodation space change rates, while migratory MMSC sedimentation rates exceed accommodation space change rates, and isolated MMSC sedimentation rates are lower than accommodation space change rates. …”

Assessing dynamic coastal vulnerability to climate hazards: A geospatial approach in Kakinada District, Andhra Pradesh, India by Ganni Satya Venkata Sai Aditya Bharadwaz, Indrajit Pal, Chitrini Mozumder, Mokbul Morshed Ahmad

“…Significant coastal erosion was identified, with shoreline changes ranging from 604.35 to 1016.25 m over the past two decades, particularly in the southern district. Sea level rise was a critical factor, especially in Kajuluru and Thallarevu, and rapid population growth and urban development exacerbated vulnerability by reducing vegetation cover and increasing built-up areas. …”

Surrogate-based model parameter optimization in simulations of the West African monsoon by M. Fischer, P. Knippertz, C. Proppe

“…However, a lower entrainment parameter would lead to a more accurate simulation of accumulated precipitation, averaged 2 <span class="inline-formula">m</span> dew point temperature, and mean sea level pressure over the considered domain (15° W to 15° E, 0 to 25° N). …”

Diversity and Distribution of <i>Phytophthora</i> Species Along an Elevation Gradient in Natural and Semi-Natural Forest Ecosystems in Portugal by Carlo Bregant, Eduardo Batista, Sandra Hilário, Benedetto Teodoro Linaldeddu, Artur Alves

“…Overall, the data obtained highlight the widespread occurrence of <i>P. cinnamomi</i> in natural ecosystems from sea level to mountain habitats. The results of the pathogenicity tests carried out on 2-year-old chestnut plants confirmed the key role of <i>P. cinnamomi</i> in the recrudescence of chestnut ink disease and the additional risk posed by <i>P. pachypleura</i>, <i>P. plurivora</i>, and <i>P. multivora</i> to Portuguese chestnut forests. …”

Empirical estimation of saturated soil-paste electrical conductivity in the EU using pedotransfer functions and Quantile Regression Forests: A mapping approach based on LUCAS topso... by Calogero Schillaci, Simone Scarpa, Felipe Yunta, Aldo Lipani, Fernando Visconti, Gábor Szatmári, Kitti Balog, Triven Koganti, Mogens Greve, Giulia Bondi, Georgios Kargas, Paraskevi Londra, Fuat Kaya, Giuseppe Lo Papa, Panos Panagos, Luca Montanarella, Arwyn Jones

“…EC is considered a proxy of soil salinity and other soil characteristics, whose monitoring is much needed in the context of climate change, increasing irrigation in agricultural areas and sea level rise. The pan-European LUCAS soil monitoring scheme, established in 2009, provided EC1:5 in the topsoil (0–20 cm) in the surveys of the years 2015 and 2018 for almost 20,000 samples. …”

Alimenter la ville de Lyon en eau : les galeries de captage antiques sous les collines de Fourvière et de la Croix-Rousse by Emmanuel Bernot

“…The upper part of the Fourvière hill, on the other hand, is mostly devoid of natural water resources and the majority of the wells that have been identified there to date are located between 210 and 230 m NGF above sea level, although some have been found at higher altitudes.A first network of Roman galleries was identified on the slopes of the Fourvière hill, at the bottom of the Rosaire garden. …”

Shipwreck Architecture by Simon Weir, Sara Rich

“…This trajectory of ideas is then projected into a creative project: a speculative history of shipwreck architecture where the cutting edge of biological research is projected into a technological future when the distant aims of today’s technology are ancient history: when the first generations of grown buildings are preserved as ruins, when giant decommissioned carbon-capture factories drift like ghost ships across lakes of their inky waste, when people remember when shipwrecks caused by the hazards of rising sea levels were later exposed by sinking sea levels and converted into hotels and theatres, and finally, when these theatrical memories provoke such nostalgia that shipwreck architecture would be replicated and fabricated. …”

Paysage et risques naturels. Quelles perspectives pour l’adaptation du littoral au changement climatique ? by Charlotte Gustave Huteau

“…On coastal areas, the landscape is likely to be impacted by erosion and rising sea levels.This raises the issue of how this concept of landscape can be used to convert some territories at risk, particularly to make certain measures more acceptable for the populations, or to propose innovative solutions.It appears that the notion of risk, and of landscape, have many connections that would be interesting to exploit in order to further consider the landscape in this context. …”

Ho Chi Minh Ville, des inondations à la submersion… by Georges Vachaud, Nicolas Gratiot, Tien Dung Tran Ngoc

“…Most of the mega-cities in South-East Asia located on the coast are subject to both very strong demographic growth and increased flood risks resulting from a combination of poorly controlled urban development, increased monsoon rainfall intensity, rising sea levels and subsidence. Ho Chi Minh City is a typical example of this situation, which could lead in the medium to short term to the submergence of the majority of recent districts built on former marshland or rice fields. …”
