Landslides that occur near residential regions are most commonly a result of shallow slope failure, which takes place as consequence heavy rainfall during the monsoon season, causing loss to human life and property. In this study, characteristics volumetric water content (VWC) gradient were analyzed predict failure was reproduced based on flume experiments performed at various conditions. The V...

Microwave vegetation optical depth (VOD) and soil moisture (SM) can be simultaneously retrieved based on L-band radiometry with polarization information. VOD is indicative of the water content (VWC) because it captures extinction land surface emission. If connectivity to VWC robust, pair VWC-SM observations viable bases for understanding soil-plant-atmosphere relations, providing new perspectiv...

Surface soil moisture (SSM) is a major factor that affects crop growth. Combined microwave and optical data have been widely used to improve the accuracy of SSM retrievals. However, influence vegetation indices derived from red-edge spectral bands multi-spectral on retrieval has not sufficiently analyzed. In this study, we retrieved wheat-covered surfaces using Sentinel-1/2 data. First, modifie...

A 45 m section of a railway embankment located at Fort Saskatchewan County in Alberta, Canada, was remediated as part the Canadian Pacific Railway’s (CP) Grade Stabilization/Remediation Plan. The materials were replaced while 4.6 wide reinforcing geotextile (Mirafi® RS580i) and 7.3 wicking H2Ri) installed ballast sub-ballast interface between subgrade sub-ballast, respectively, aiming to addres...

To build a comprehensive understanding of long-term hydro-mechanical processes that lead to shallow landslide hazards, this study explicitly monitored the volumetric water content (VWC) and rainfall amount for weathered granite soil slope over four year period. From 12 operational monitoring stations installed across South Korea, Songnisan station was selected as site. VWC sensors were placed i...

Full accounting of ecosystem carbon (C) pools and fluxes in coastal plain ecosystems remains less studied compared with upland systems, even though the C stocks in these systems may be up to an order of magnitude higher, making them a potentially important component in regional C cycle. Here, we report C pools and CO2 exchange rates during three hydrologically contrasting years (i.e. 2005–2007)...

Voltage violations are the main problem faced in distribution networks (DN) with a higher penetration of inverter-based generations (IBG). Active and reactive power control from smart inverters (SI) can mitigate such violations. Optimal flow (OPF)-based provides more accurate operating set points for coordinated operation SIs. Therefore, this paper presents three-phase OPF-based on SI-enriched ...

Precision irrigation is essential to improve water use efficiency (WUE), defined as the amount of biomass produced per unit used by plants. Our objective evaluate effect different soil volumetric content (VWC) in plant growth, fruit yield, quality, and WUE cherry tomatoes grown a greenhouse. We tested four VWC thresholds (0.23, 0.30, 0.37, 0.44 m3 m−3) trigger drip system two tomato cultivars (...
