Monitoring and Mitigation of Market Manipulation in Redispatch Markets
Variabilité de la capacité de sorption du glyphosate et diuron des fonds de fossés évaluée à l'aide de nouveaux indicate...
Les réseaux de fossés jouent un rôle clé dans la gestion des flux hydriques et sédimentaires au sein des bassins versants agricoles ce qui leur confère une importance particulière dans le devenir des pesticides (Dollinger et al., 2015). En effet, bien que constituant des voies de dispersion, par la collecte et l’acheminement des flux de ruisselleme...
Climate impact evaluation of future green aircraft technologies
Air traffic is an important part of our mobility with an increasing rate in transport volume of around 5% per year. Air traffic also contributes to anthropogenic warming by around 5%. Here we present a climate impact assessment tool AirClim and give an overview on the recent technology assessments. Finally, we present a best practice for a robust c...
ATM4E: A concept for environmentally-optimized aircraft trajectories
Trajectory optimisation is one option to reduce air traffic impact on environment. A multidimensional environmental assessment framework is needed to optimize impact on climate, local air quality and noise simultaneously. An interface between flight planning and environmental impact information can be established with environmental cost functions. ...
On the Urban Heat Island in Beirut
The urban heat island (UHI) is one of the more commonly documented phenomena of climate change. It is related to higher urban temperatures in the city centers as compared to the surrounding rural or suburban areas and can lead to unpleasant effects on urban dwellers not least of all on air quality, energy consumption levels, human health, and even ...

Remibar: Evaluation of mitigation measures for otter in the Remibar project
As part of the Remibar project, eleven underpasses for medium-sized animals were built under roads: five dry banks, three dry culverts, two ledges, and one fence. To assess whether the underpasses were functional, the underpasses and the movements of animals in the vicinity were monitored through animal tracking in wintertime and camera surveillanc...
Construction of a Highway Section Within a White-Tailed Deep Winter Yard Near Quebec City, Canada: Mitigation Measures, ...
he construction of a new 10.4 km (6.5 mi) section of HWY Robert-Cliche (73) south of Québec City, Canada, integrated an unprecedented number of mitigation measures to maintain connectivity between a bisected white-tailed deer winter yard and minimize apprehended deer-vehicle collisions. In this paper we present mitigation measures planned and compl...
Effectiveness of Amphibian Mitigation Measures Along a New Highway
In 2004-2005, a new highway bypass was constructed through an area of predominantly upland forest with many vernal pools in southern New Hampshire. The highway is complete but is not yet open to traffic. Potential im¬pacts to vernal pool amphibians (spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) and wood frogs (Rana sylvatica)) and their habitat include...
