The discrepancy between perceived and actual data quality, shaped by stakeholders’ interpretations of technical specifications, poses significant challenges in governance, impacting decision-making and stakeholder trust. To address this, we introduce an automated data quality management (DQM) framework, implemented through the NRPvalid toolkit, as a standalone solution incorporating over 100 …
Rainfall is one of the major causes of geological hazards such as landslides and slope failures because it decreases shear strength along the failure surface and increases the driving force of the sliding mass due to the movement of the wetting front in the geological media. Deterministic limit equilibrium methods are typically used to evaluate the stability of slopes in terms of Factor of Safe…
Oases are part of the natural wealth and heritage of Morocco and contribute to the social, economic, and touristic environment. Morocco has lost more than 2/3 of its oases during the past century due to water scarcity, succession of drought periods, climate change and over-exploitation of groundwater resources. Palm trees are strongly dependent on irrigation and availability of surface water as…
So far, published geochronological data poorly constrain the Late Pleistocene glacial fluctuations in the F?g?ra? Mts (Southern Carpathians, Romania). The deglaciation chronology in the central F?g?ra? Mts is supported by new (n = 5) and recalculated (n = 5) 10Be exposure ages from a southern and two northern valleys. Cosmic ray exposure (CRE) ages were calculated considering the effects of sur…
Rainstorm-induced landslides are a widespread geomorphological hazard that can lead to major emergencies, causing severe damage to life and property. Due to the extent of the areas usually affected by these phenomena (up to thousands of km2) and/or their typical high areal density, in the early stages of the emergency it can be useful to reconstruct a comprehensive, albeit preliminary, overview…
