  3. I think it's probably possible we'll reach 8,000 responses by midnight tonight UK time, but it's going to be close. It's about 7,500 now.

    Are you nonbinary or similarish? Want to do a very quick survey about names? :)

    “HIGHLIGHTS:
    • Field surveys and flood modelling were used to evaluate the resilience of eight historic masonry arch bridges in County Offaly, Ireland, under projected fluvial flooding conditions.
    • Results indicate that increased flood levels and hydraulic forces can significantly reduce bridge load-carrying capacity, with potential reductions of up to 40% due to buoyancy effects during extreme flood events.
    • The study demonstrates a clear relationship between flood exposure and structural deterioration, emphasizing the need for structural health monitoring, maintenance strategies, and climate-resilient infrastructure management…
    ABSTRACT: Masonry bridges, predominantly constructed from stone or brick, were a common feature of bridge engineering during the 18th and 19th centuries. However, these historic bridges are still in use today, but they are at risk due to various extreme climate conditions. Thus, these bridges are vulnerable to damage and needy for investigation. This paper offers an in-depth analysis of the projected impacts of fluvial flooding stemming from climate change on a number of masonry arch bridge structures located in county Offaly, Ireland. It evaluates bridge resilience by examining estimated flood levels alongside the overall condition of the structures. These assessments play a crucial role in determining the load-bearing capacity of the bridges and whether adjustment factors should be implemented. Particularly for bridges situated on primary and secondary roads with consistent heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic, the potential decrease in load-bearing capabilities warrants significant consideration. This study highlights concerns regarding the resilience of these historic structures and presents a valid argument regarding their suitability for contemporary environmental conditions and present-day activities…”

  10. Advancing Detailed Flood Hazard Identification in Alberta, Canada - Insights from Two Recent Flood Studies

    “The increasing frequency of floods and the severity of their consequences for public safety, infrastructure, and the economy demand improved methods for flood hazard identification. Flood studies that include flood hazard mapping are critical tools for informing emergency response and flood recovery, as well as for land use and mitigation planning. The methodology for such flood studies has evolved, and access to more powerful computational resources and high-resolution base data has contributed to the increased use of two-dimensional hydraulic modelling, where one-dimensional modelling previously was the default. However, local-scale flood studies face real-world constraints, including sparse data, challenging hydrologic conditions, and budget limitations, which can hinder the application of advanced techniques. This study addresses these challenges through innovative, practice-driven solutions in two case studies in Alberta, Canada: a small, partly channelised prairie stream network (Wolf Creek, Lacombe) and a laterally dynamic river on a distributary delta (Swan River, Kinuso). Three core components of flood hazard studies are described: field survey data collection, regional hydrology assessment, and hydraulic modelling. Key findings include demonstrating that LiDAR-derived terrain models alone cannot capture channel conveyance, the importance of low-flow calibration in the absence of high-water marks, the selection of a modelling methodology based on bathymetric and topographic features within a study area, and the development of inflow hydrographs for unsteady-state simulation in flat floodplains…”

    [not my usual fare to post, but fascinating…]
    “#Bigcats have a big impact. A long-term study showed that when mountain lions began regular visits to a small suburban preserve about 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of San Francisco, they changed the behavior of many other animals.
    Mountain lions (Puma concolor) started appearing with increasing frequency on trail cameras at Stanford's Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve ('Ootchamin 'Ooyakma) from 2015 to 2020. Researchers documented a corresponding drop in deer activity compared with the prior years of lower or absent puma activity. Vegetation surveys also showed that many woody plants deer like to eat or tend to trample, including young oak trees, began to thrive.
    These types of multilevel effects, called trophic cascades, have been studied primarily in large wilderness areas, particularly cascades caused by #apexpredators such as #wolves reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park...”

    “#Bigcats have a big impact. A long-term study showed that when mountain lions began regular visits to a small suburban preserve about 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of San Francisco, they changed the behavior of many other animals.
    Mountain lions (Puma concolor) started appearing with increasing frequency on trail cameras at Stanford's Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve ('Ootchamin 'Ooyakma) from 2015 to 2020. Researchers documented a corresponding drop in deer activity compared with the prior years of lower or absent puma activity. Vegetation surveys also showed that many woody plants deer like to eat or tend to trample, including young oak trees, began to thrive.
    These types of multilevel effects, called trophic cascades, have been studied primarily in large wilderness areas, particularly cascades caused by #apexpredators such as #wolves reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park...”
