Gravimetry-based water storage shifting over the China-India border area controlled by regional climate variability (2019)
Journal Article

The regional water storage shifting causes nonstationary spatial distribution of droughts and flooding, leading to water management challenges, environmental degradation and economic losses. The regional water storage shifting is becoming evident due... Read More about Gravimetry-based water storage shifting over the China-India border area controlled by regional climate variability.

Laboratory simulations of fluid-induced seismicity, hydraulic fracture, and fluid flow (2019)
Journal Article

Fluid-induced seismicity has been observed and recorded for decades. Seismic energy necessarily requires a source, which is frequently related to rock fracture either in compression or tension. In both cases, such fracture may be promoted by crustal... Read More about Laboratory simulations of fluid-induced seismicity, hydraulic fracture, and fluid flow.

A spectral pedestrian-based approach for modal identification (2019)
Journal Article

The dynamic behaviour of footbridges is characterised by modal properties such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping ratios and modal masses. Their estimation via modal tests often requires expensive or difficult-to-operate equipment (e.g. sha... Read More about A spectral pedestrian-based approach for modal identification.

Re-establishment of fish passage for conserving threatened migratory species of West-Indian Himalayas (2019)
Journal Article

Fish passes are structures (natural or manmade) bypassing barriers (e.g., dams), enabling satisfactory movement of migratory fish species. Reestablishment of fish passage, including facilitating overcoming barriers presented by impoundments or restor...

Water storage redistribution over East China, between 2003 and 2015, driven by intra- and inter-annual climate variability (2019)
Journal Article

National development and resilience are strained by shifting regional water storage patterns. The water shifting pattern has been found over China, but the underlying climate mechanisms of the pattern remain largely unexplored. In this study, how shi...

Twenty Years of the Polyvinyl Chloride Sustainability Challenges (2019)
Journal Article

Intense campaigning pressure on the UK PVC sector up to the late 1990s forced strategic engagement with sustainable development. Simplified outcomes from a detailed, consensus-based analysis by science-based NGO The Natural Step (TNS) took the form... Read More about Twenty Years of the Polyvinyl Chloride Sustainability Challenges.

Climatic and vegetational drivers of insect beta diversity at the continental scale (2019)
Journal Article

Aim: We construct a framework for mapping pattern and drivers of insect diversity at the continental scale and use it to test whether and which environmental gradients drive insect beta diversity. Location: Global; North and Central America; Western... Read More about Climatic and vegetational drivers of insect beta diversity at the continental scale.

Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement (2019)
Journal Article

This study presents the effect of high plasticity on swell potential, swelling pressure and micro structural characteristics of kaolinite-bentonite mixed clays. Five different combining ratios of kaolinite bentonite mixture of 100:0, 90:10, 75:25, 50... Read More about Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement.

Cash water expenditures are associated with household water insecurity, food insecurity, and perceived stress in study sites across 20 low- and middle-income countries (2019)
Journal Article

Billions of people globally, living with various degrees of water insecurity, obtain their household and drinking water from diverse sources that can absorb a disproportionate amount of a household's income. In theory, there are income and expenditur...
