The surface water area and types in the Aral Sea Basin (ASB) have undergone extensive changes due to the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic activities. This study explores the changes in the surface water area in the ASB based on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform. Then, we integrate multi-source data to identify 1559 lakes and 196 res...
Proteins’ functions are dependent on their three-dimensional (3D) structure. Under certain circumstances, proteins misfold and form aggregates, sometimes leading to amyloidosis. Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) builds up amyloid in the pancreatic islet of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We utilized the GAL4-UAS system to express human proIAPP...
Global freshwater biodiversity is declining dramatically, and meeting the challenges of this crisis requires bold goals and the mobilisation of substantial resources. While the reasons are varied, investments in both research and conservation of freshwater biodiversity lag far behind those in the terrestrial and marine realms. Inspired by a global ...

The collaborative effort between the UC San Diego Library and the UC Santa Barbara Library (called Project Surfliner, after the train that connects the two cities) to share development teams that work on common strategic products is still going strong after almost three years. In this panel, we will chat with the two campus project leads, as well a...
The livelihoods of millions of people living in the world's deltas are deeply interconnected with the sediment dynamics of these deltas. In particular a sustainable supply of fluvial sediments from upstream is critical for ensuring the fertility of delta soils and for promoting sediment deposition that can offset rising sea levels. Yet, in many lar...
Cette communication dresse tout d'abord un panorama des données sur les ruptures par surverse des barrages en remblai et des digues, ainsi que les actions menées récemment au niveau national et international pour synthétiser et faire progresser l'état de l'art : GT CFBR, Workshop International d'Aussois de 2017, European Working Group on Overflowin...
L'analyse du risque d'érosion interne dans les barrages en remblai, les digues et leurs fondations a fait l'objet de recherches croissantes depuis plus de 25 ans, au niveau international au sein du groupe de travail européen sur l'érosion interne (EWGIE) lancé par le club européen de la CIGB (EURCOLD) et au niveau national, principalement au sein d...
Despite public awareness of unintended impacts (1980s) and well-developed international standards (2000s), downstream impacts of large hydropower projects still very often are not properly assessed. Impacts of (hydropower-regulated) interbasin water transfers (IBWTs) are considered self-evidently positive, although they can have far-reaching conseq...
