L’urbanité de l’héritage industriel by Zeila Tesoriere, Renzo Lecardane

“…In the wake of the regeneration of the east bank of the Manhattan, its reconversion does not follow the dominant model of waterfront regeneration, pioneered in the United States since the 1960s. Through its prism, different political, economic and social relationships can be identified (arrival of Michael Bloomberg as mayor, railway banking, the ‘Friends of the High Line’ association), creating a new approach which has already become a reference. …”

Do land models miss key soil hydrological processes controlling soil moisture memory? by M. A. Farmani, A. Behrangi, A. Behrangi, A. Gupta, A. Tavakoly, A. Tavakoly, M. Geheran, G.-Y. Niu

“…We compare SMMs computed from various Noah-MP configurations against that derived from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) L3 soil moisture and in situ measurements from the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) from the years 2015 to 2019 over the contiguous United States (CONUS). The results suggest that (1) soil hydraulics plays a dominant role and the Van Genuchten hydraulic scheme reduces the overestimation of the long-term surface SMM produced by the Brooks–Corey scheme, which is commonly used in LSMs; (2) explicitly representing surface ponding enhances SMM for both the surface layer and the root zone; and (3) representing preferential flow improves the overall representation of soil moisture dynamics. …”
