The conservation of the olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) is increasingly critical due to declining global populations. This study investigates the influence of hydrometeorological conditions on the nesting season and annual hatchling sex ratios conducted at the Playón de Mismaloya Federal Reserve in Tomatlán, Jalisco, Mexico. The research specifically examines variations in sand te…
The connectivity of sandbodies is a key constraint to the exploration effectiveness of Bohai A Oilfield. Conventional connectivity studies often use methods such as seismic attribute fusion, while the development of contiguous composite sandbodies in this area makes it challenging to characterize connectivity changes with conventional seismic attributes. Aiming at the above problem in the Bohai…
Emeralds – the green colored variety of beryl – occur as gem-quality specimens in over fifty deposits globally. While digital traceability methods for emerald have limitations, sample-based approaches offer robust alternatives, particularly for determining the geographic origin of emerald. Three factors make emerald suitable for provenance studies and hence for developing models for origin …
The degradation and desertification of grasslands pose a daunting challenge to China's arid and semiarid areas owing to the increasing demand for them in light of the rise of animal husbandry. Monitoring grasslands by using big data has emerged as a popular area of research in recent years. As grassland degradation is a slow and gradual process, the accurate identification of grassland cover is…
Accurate detection and characterization of seafloor morphologies are crucial for marine researchers and industries involved in underwater mapping, environmental monitoring, or resource exploration. Although their detection has relied on visual inspection of detailed bathymetries, few efforts to automate the process can be found in the literature. This study presents a novel MatLab computer code…
UAV-mounted sensors can be used to estimate crop biophysical traits, offering an alternative to traditional field scouting. However, the high temporal resolution offered by UAV platforms, critical for identifying small differences in crop conditions, is rarely exploited throughout the entire growing season. This limits growers' ability to obtain timely information for real-time interventions. N…
