Assessing organizations performance on the basis of GHRM practices using BWM and Fuzzy TOPSIS.

Journal of environmental management
Over the past few years, the need for sustainable environmental management has increased rapidly and green management has emerged as an important tool for the same. The role of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices in environmental managem...

Ecological Vulnerability Assessment Based on Fuzzy Analytical Method and Analytic Hierarchy Process in Yellow River Delta.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The Yellow River Delta (YRD), located in Yellow River estuary, is characterized by rich ecological system types, and provides habitats or migration stations for wild birds, all of which makes the delta an ecological barrier or ecotone for inland area...

Large-scale assessment of benthic communities across multiple marine protected areas using an autonomous underwater vehicle.

PloS one
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are designed to reduce threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning from anthropogenic activities. Assessment of MPAs effectiveness requires synchronous sampling of protected and non-protected areas at multiple spat...

Using machine learning to disentangle homonyms in large text corpora.

Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology
Systematic reviews are an increasingly popular decision-making tool that provides an unbiased summary of evidence to support conservation action. These reviews bridge the gap between researchers and managers by presenting a comprehensive overview of ...

Eyes on our planet.

Current biology : CB
Combining several satellite-based tracking technologies with big data methods and machine learning, fisheries experts can now efficiently monitor the entirety of the oceans and ensure that legal limits and protected areas are respected. Observing our...

The Sustainable Development Assessment of Reservoir Resettlement Based on a BP Neural Network.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Resettlement affects not only the resettlers' production activities and life but also, directly or indirectly, the normal operation of power stations, the sustainable development of the resettlers, and regional social stability. Therefore, a scientif...

A fuzzy logic expert system for evaluating policy progress towards sustainability goals.

Ambio
Evaluating progress towards environmental sustainability goals can be difficult due to a lack of measurable benchmarks and insufficient or uncertain data. Marine settings are particularly challenging, as stakeholders and objectives tend to be less we...

The Dawning of the Ethics of Environmental Robots.

Science and engineering ethics
Environmental scientists and engineers have been exploring research and monitoring applications of robotics, as well as exploring ways of integrating robotics into ecosystems to aid in responses to accelerating environmental, climatic, and biodiversi...

SoilGrids250m: Global gridded soil information based on machine learning.

PloS one
This paper describes the technical development and accuracy assessment of the most recent and improved version of the SoilGrids system at 250m resolution (June 2016 update). SoilGrids provides global predictions for standard numeric soil properties (...

Predicting and communicating flood risk of transport infrastructure based on watershed characteristics.

Journal of environmental management
This research aims to identify and communicate water-related vulnerabilities in transport infrastructure, specifically flood risk of road/rail-stream intersections, based on watershed characteristics. This was done using flooding in Värmland and Väst...
