Constraining aggradation mode of Pleistocene Meuse deposits with cosmogenic radionuclides and modelling by Nathan Vandermaelen
20 Dec
on teams
Constraining depositional phases in braided river deposits can be challenging if only based on sedimentology or geochronology. We explored how different data sources can provide complementary information on the depositional history of Pleistocene fluvial deposits. The study was realized on the Zutendaal gravels that outcrop in Northeastern Belgium.

L-band passive microwave remote sensing of soil moisture and vegetation properties by Thomas Meyer
17 Dec
Radiation, heat and mass fluxes through the terrestrial surface are affected by the vegetation layer. Therefore, an accurate characterization of the vegetation above the land surface is particularly relevant in order to estimate the exchange of water between the land and the atmosphere and their feedbacks.

Interest of hemp for phytomanagement of heavy metal contaminated agricultural soil: putative impact of silicon in relation to fibre production by Marie Luyck
14 Dec
Cannabis sativa L. is a promising species for non-food production on moderate heavy metal (HM)-contaminated farmland soils and considered as a potential crop for cleaning the soil from HM because of its high biomass production, its long root system and its capacity to absorb and accumulate HM.

Data-model fusion approach using tree-ring width series, a mechanistic growth model and an Earth system model to reconstruct the large-scale climate variability by Jeanne Rezsohazy
07 Dec
Tree-ring widths represent the most commonly used proxy to reconstruct the climate of the last millennium at high resolution, thanks to their large-scale availability. The approach often relies on a relationship between tree-ring width series and climate estimated on the basis of a linear regression. The underlying linearity and stationarity assumptions may be inadequate.
