Mechanism of seismic-collapsed loess landslides induced by the Ms6.2 earthquake in Jishishan County, Gansu Province, China by Yali Wang, Ping Wang, Guofu Luo, Shaofeng Chai, Wenguo Ma, Chenyang Ye, Shiyang Xu, Haoran Yu

“…On December 18, 2023, a magnitude MS6.2 earthquake struck Jishishan County, Gansu Province, triggering over 40 seismic subsidence sites within a seismic intensity VI zone, 32 km from the epicenter.The earthquake caused tens of millions in economic losses to mountain photovoltaic power stations. Extensive geological surveys and comparisons with similar landslides (such as soil loosening, widespread cracks, and stepped displacements) triggered by the 1920 Haiyuan MS8.5 earthquake and the 1995 Yongdeng MS5.8 earthquake, this study preliminarily identifies one subsidence sites as a seismic-collapsed loess landslide. …”

Controverses autour d’une liaison. Géographie du potentiel conflictuel à travers le projet d’équipement du Danay (La Clusaz — Le Grand Bornand) by Amandine Troiano, Lionel Laslaz

“…This project is the connection between the areas of ski resorts of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand by the Danay mountain, in the Aravis massif. This sector, which is currently not equipped, would make it possible to create a vast linked domain, capable of competing in part with others in the Northern Alps. …”

Integrated model for estimation of the interaction between surface water and groundwater based on in valley watershed by Yun YANG, Yong GUO, Fafei WANG, Jian SONG, Jianfeng WU

“…Temporally, the groundwater discharged into the surface water during 2016−2019, while the surface water replenished the groundwater during certain periods of wet season. Spatially, the mountainous areas in the northwest and northeast of the study area and the surrounding areas of BRB in the south of the study area are characterized by groundwater discharge into surface water. …”

Trend of Climate and Hydrology Change in Bosten Lake Basin and Its Influence on the Lake Level by YAO Junqiang, CHEN Jing, Dilinuer Tuoliewubieke, HU Wenfeng

“…Bosten Lakehas experienced drastic change on water level due to the climate environment changes and intensified human activities.Based on the recent climate and hydrological data,this paper analyzes the hydrological and climatic elements and the change characteristics of the Bosten Lake Basin from 1961 to 2019,and discusses the possible influencing factors for the hydrological change of the lake.The results show that:There is obvious changes by stages on the water level (area) of the lake as follows:decrease during 1961—1987,rapid increase during 1988—2002,drastic decrease during 2003—2012,and drastic increase after 2013.The changes by stages are caused by a climate-driven regime shift coupled with human disturbance.The increase in the water level after 1987 is driven by regional climate warming and wetting.However,since 2003,due to the increase in agricultural irrigation water,the runoff of Bosten Lake is reduced;after the implementation of the ecological water conveyance project (EWCP),the lake's outflow is significantly increased;and a decreased precipitation leads to an increased drought frequency.Therefore,the lake level drops significantly under the combined action of these factors.The increase in lake level since 2013 is mainly related to the increase in the supply of melted ice and snow caused by the great increase in precipitation and temperature in mountainous areas.Furthermore,wastewater emissions give rise to water degradation,resulting in complete change on the natural water cycle system in the Bosten Lake.Indeed,under the background of climate change,the future water security of Bosten Lake is largely dependent on the human activities.…”

“Fierce and Free, or Caged and Cowed”: Interspecies Oppression and Survival in Lucy Ellmann’s Ducks, Newburyport by Elisa Pesce

“…Her angst-ridden interior monologue is interrupted only by short sections of third-person prose that relate the story of a mountain lioness in search of her lost cubs. While the juxtaposition of these two narrative strands serves Ellmann’s explicit purpose of drawing a parallel between experiences of motherhood and denouncing the way capitalist and patriarchal societies have historically rested on the oppression of both women and nature, this paper argues that Ducks, Newburyport also advocates for a renewed commitment to harmonious interspecies coexistence through the story of the protagonist’s eldest daughter, Stacy. …”
