PERSPECTIVES IN ESTUARINE AND COASTAL SCIENCE Linking Restoration Ecology and Ecological Restoration in Estuarine Landscapes

More than ever, there is a need to integrate restoration ecology, as practiced by the scientific community, and ecological restoration, a province that is largely, but not entirely the purview of practitioners. Success in some coastal restoration projects is increasingly measured in the context of practioner skills and cultural goals rather than by the manifestation of underlying ecological pri...

The Science and Values of Restoration Ecology

It has been 22 years since William Jordan III and the University of Wisconsin Arboretum published the first issue of Restoration and Management Notes, 16 years since the founding of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER), and 10 years since SER published the first issue of its flagship journal, Restoration Ecology. In this short time, restoration ecology has become a leader in North Ameri...

Application of infrared thermography in civil engineering

Infrared thermography is a modern measuring method for the examination of redeveloped and non-renovated buildings. Infrared cameras provide a means for temperature measurement in building constructions from the inside as well as from the outside. Thus heat bridges can be detected. It has been shown that infrared thermography is also applicable for finding the exact position of heating tubes or ...

Civil Engineering Application for Virtual Collaborative Environment

The motivation for this project was to find a way to give engineers, and the community affected by Civil Engineering work, information that is often difficult to visualise via computer screens, 2D plans or even scale models. We developed a Digital Scale Model using the existing expertise at the University of Nottingham on Space Geodesy and Mixed Reality. The user works in a collaborative Virtua...
