🌳🗞 The March edition of environmental SCIENTIST explores Britain's natural environment, how we assess its value, and the ecosystem services it provides. NCS Director Dr Alison Holt's article, The importance of urban natural capital in Britain, is featured in this edition and focuses on the value of natural capital and the benefits of ecosystem services within the urban environment, especially in light of increasing urban expansion. In this issue, authors explore some of Britain's most important ecosystems, as well as presenting expert perspectives on some of the ways we can use the concept of natural capital to the advantage of both society and the environment. ⬇ Follow the link below to read the full edition: https://lnkd.in/dfn45ki6  

The article in which I examine the Environmental Awareness, Nature and Human Relations in the works of Fethullah Gülen is in the 17th issue of Ekoloji. www.ekolojionline.com

Our study on the feasibility of groundwater knowledge transfer between the Contiguous United States and Denmark using ML is out today on Environmental Research Communications. Thanks to my coauthors Julian Koch and Reed Maxwell. This is the first transfer learning study in the groundwater domain across countries. Our study shows that while we cannot do a direct transfer of groundwater knowledge between two countries, there are similarities within global groundwater systems. For more details, please check out our paper. Using random forests to explore the feasibility of groundwater knowledge transfer between the contiguous US and Denmark (https://lnkd.in/e8t3mthb)

Can an ML learn the difference between Danish and US groundwater? While all groundwater flows goverened by the same physics, an ML can tell the difference between what drives water table depths in the US v Denmark. Great work by High Meadows Environmental Institute postdoc Yueling MA and a wonderful collaboration with Julian Koch. Read all about this work in IOP Publishing's Environmental Research Communications.

New Paper ! 🚨🌏 With Julio Pachon, Ph.D., Wartini Ng, José Sergei Padarian and Alex McBratney, we are thrilled to share our last paper "Creating Soil Districts for Australia Based on Pedogenon Mapping", now available in Geoderma! 🌱 Why This Matters: Soil is vital for food security, biodiversity preservation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Building on the European Union's definition of soil districts from the EU Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law, we propose a method to map soil districts for better governance. 📍 Our Contribution: We developed a flexible methodology to map 236 compact soil districts from Australia’s pedogenon map. This adaptable approach can be applied to diverse regions and is adaptable to stakeholders' unique needs. Read the full paper here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g7nX9Gaq

🌍 NEW PUBLICATION 🌊 I am thrilled to share that I have had the pleasure of co-authoring, alongside Gabriele Goettsche-Wanli, the article 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 ‘𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲’ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁? In this article, and based on the existing definitions, we analyse whether ecocide could be applied in a marine context, with particular attention given to thresholds and the nature of the act. We then consider the potential application in a marine context of some of the components of the definitions of ecocide, with bottom trawling selected for a deeper analysis. 👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eZSwx27Y

Pleased to announce our new publication in the International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology: "Heavy metal dynamics of municipal solid waste ash as supplementary cementitious material." This study investigates the potential use of municipal solid waste ash as SCM while assessing heavy metal behavior to ensure environmental safety.
