Abstract: The eco-hydrological requirements of a river are related to the health of the river. In recent years, changing climate and intensifying human activities have further aggravated water problems in the Yellow River. Considering ...

Abstract: It is believed that the currently increasing temperature, also known as global warming, has altered the hydrological cycle and thus the hydrometeorological extremes become frequent. In this study, the authors analyze ...

Abstract: The potential global warming impact on the extreme and mean streamflow of the Upper Blue Nile (UBN) River Basin was projected for the 2050s and 2080s by three hydrological models [Nedbør-Afstrømnings Model (NAM), Variable ...

Abstract: Acoustic emission (AE) technology has advantages in characterizing the damage of asphalt mixture and its microcrack formation and development. In this study, AE characteristic parameters and high-speed camera recording ...

Abstract: Drylands play an essential role in Earth’s environment and human systems. Although dryland expansion has been widely investigated in previous studies, there is a lack of quantitative evidence supporting human-induced changes ...

Abstract: Due to the differences of physical and mechanical properties of asphalt pavement materials, asphalt pavement (asphalt mixture) presents complex characteristics. To explore the acoustic emission (AE) wave characteristics ...

Abstract: Tropical cyclone (TC) translation distance, proportional to its duration and translation speed, basically determines the spatial extent of TC-impacted marine and terrestrial areas. Although a long-term slowdown of TCs has ...
