🌐 Excited to share my recent article on "Assessment of Groundwater Potential Zones in Data-Scarce Regions using GIS-Based Multicriteria Decision Making Approach." 💧🌍 In this article, we explore the innovative application of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques to identify and evaluate groundwater potential zones in regions with limited data availability. Groundwater is a precious resource, and its sustainable management is crucial for communities facing water scarcity. https://lnkd.in/gjC5pgcA GEOCARTO INTERNATIONAL 2024, VOL. 39, NO. 1, 2311202 https://lnkd.in/gPP3m7vH (SCOPUS & Web of Science Indexed, IF: 3.8

Happy to share my first article in the journal Science of the Total Environment: Natural-based solutions for air monitoring applied at the Palatin Hill🍃

Selenium (Se) in soil is one of the challenging elements to analyze using ICP-MS, especially at ultra-trace concentration levels. The challenges are caused by interferences from Argon dimers, formation of doubly charged and oxides species, matrix effects, etc. I am excited to share our recent publication on method development for Se in soil, plants, and maize flour. The work addresses the challenges mentioned earlier, together with the validation and evaluation of measurement uncertainty. To access the publication use the link below https://lnkd.in/dWz-kgiQ

Check out the new book 'Hydrodynamics of wave-vegetation interactions' in the prestigious 'Advances in Coastal and Ocean Engineering' series and our contribution 'The role of vegetation flexibility in wave attenuation'.

We dig into the newly released 2024 State of the Lake Report and talk with some of the scientists from the Patrick Leahy Lake Champlain Basin Program about the report’s findings. https://buff.ly/4duOg21

New Research | In ‘Contribution of Indigenous Peoples' understandings and relational frameworks to invasive alien species management’, Wehi, et al. make the theoretical case that centring Indigenous management frameworks promises to strengthen overall management responses and outcomes.

⚠ In order to complete the study on food webs, a specific section on the relationships between pelagic prey and top predators will be developed. 🐟 🐬 Food web modelling usually uses data from the literature for these compartments. The members of the GIS Eolien en Mer wanted to go further and asked the consortium in charge of the study to carry out sampling and observation campaigns at sea on prey-predators, with a twofold objective: - To take samples of pelagic fish (diversity, abundance, biomass, isotopes, stomach contents) - To carry out concomitant fish/megafauna observations in order to better document prey/predator relationships. It will therefore be a major advance in this type of food web modelling approach to include direct observation data.

The GIS Eolien en Mer is launching an additional component to its study on food webs, focusing on the relationships between pelagic prey and top predators. This is a major advance for food web modelling, which generally uses bibliographic data for these compartments!
