Spatio-temporal evolution of organo-mineral associations during fluvial transport across the land- ocean aquatic continuum
(2025)Rivers are important transport agents, transferring organic carbon (OC) from terrestrial carbon pools to ocean sediments, which act as an important OC sink. Research has shown that OC-mineral associations exert a key influence on OC dynamics by influencing the stability and thus the timescales of carbon storage and transport within drainage basins. Although evidence is mounting that these interactions develop in soils, observations of how ...Doctoral Thesis -
The effect of lining density on the seismic response of ground penetrating shield tunnels: Shaking table testing and simplified semi-analytical solution
(2025)Tunnelling and Underground Space TechnologyThe Ground Penetrating Shield Tunnel (GPST) method optimizes construction in soft ground by eliminating deep vertical shafts, reducing construction time, and minimizing the environmental impact. The present study examines the effect of lining density on the seismic response of the tunnel. Large scale shaking table tests are conducted, comparing the response of two tunnel models with different lining densities. The segmental lining of the ...Journal Article -
Potential effectiveness of extended producer responsibility: An ex-ante policy impact analysis for plastic packaging waste in Belgium, France, and Germany
(2025)Resources, Conservation and RecyclingExtended producer responsibility (EPR) is a key policy principle to mitigate adverse effects of plastic pollution, holding producers accountable for their products' end-of-life management. Yet, assessment of EPR effectiveness is limited by data quality and causal research design for post-hoc analysis, especially with regard to analyzing country contexts. To grasp EPR's true impact, it is crucial to consider its broader regulatory, ...Journal Article -
Assessing the performance and explainability of an avalanche danger forecast model
(2025)Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesDuring winter, public avalanche forecasts provide crucial information for professional decision-makers as well as recreational backcountry users. While avalanche forecasting has traditionally relied exclusively on human expertise, avalanche warning services increasingly integrate data-driven models to support the forecasting process. This study assesses a random-forest classifier trained with weather data and physical snow-cover simulations ...Journal Article -
Low but highly variable soil organic carbon stocks across deeply weathered eroding and depositional tropical landforms
(2025)CatenaSoil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in temperate regions are highly affected by lateral soil fluxes induced by soil erosion. SOC dynamics in eroding tropical cropland systems characterized by deeply weathered soils and heterogeneous small-scale subsistence farming structures, however, are not well understood yet. Along topographic gradients in the East African Albertine rift region, we investigated the differences in SOC stocks and persistence ...Journal Article
