Le Roman de Perceforest, la Sicambre et la guerre de Cent Ans by Levente Selaf

“…This explains the confused location of this country: in part symbolic (by its identification with Nubia), in part traditional (close to the Danube) and in part functional, to suit the rather limited geographical setting of the novel (close to the "North Sea"). By interpreting this motif we can also confirm the date of the novel from the first half of the 14th century (by pushing the date ante quem until 1350).…”

Bathymetry of the Antarctic continental shelf and ice shelf cavities from circumpolar gravity anomalies and other data by Raphaelle Charrassin, Romain Millan, Eric Rignot, Mirko Scheinert

“…Abstract Bathymetry critically influences the intrusion of warm Circumpolar Deep Water onto the continental shelf and under ice shelf cavities in Antarctica, thereby forcing ice melting, grounding line retreat, and sea level rise. We present a novel and comprehensive bathymetry of Antarctica that includes all ice shelf cavities and previously unmeasured continental shelf areas. …”

Understanding the impact of summer festival on the dynamic of micropollutant delivery to coastal wastewater treatment plant by Agne Jucyte-Cicine, Elise Lorre, Jolita Petkuviene, Zita R. Gasiunaite, Ema Durcova, Irma Vybernaite-Lubiene, Mindaugas Zilius

“…Pharmaceuticals and PAEs contributed most to the micropollutant load (25 g day−1 and 34 g day−1, respectively) discharged into the Baltic Sea during the festival. These findings provide novel insights into how temporal gatherings can increase pollution levels in the coastal areas of the Baltic region and highlight the potential for this pollution to be inadequately retained in treatment facilities, posing risks to the marine environment.…”

Using unmanned aerial vehicles to estimate body volume at scale for ecological monitoring by Thomas C. Stone, Katrina J. Davis

“…A method for collecting accurate demographic data to construct robust demographic models at scale would fill this knowledge gap for difficult‐to‐access species. We introduce a novel, non‐invasive method to estimate the 3D body size (volume) of pinnipeds (seals, sea lions and walruses) that will allow monitoring at high spatial and temporal scales. …”
