description: The volume of water stored in seasonal wetlands is a fundamental but difficult to measure variable for developing a physical understanding of wetland behavior. For seasonal wetlands that are a major source of water for rice and fish production, this physical understanding is key to planning for water-food security and ecosystem services. This study quantified variations in volumetric storage for the numerous seasonal wetlands of northeastern Bangladesh, locally known as “haors.” These haors receive transboundary runoff from densely vegetated and mountainous terrain in India and face persistent monsoonal cloud cover as they become full. We estimated volumetric storage for 13 haors by using extensive remote sensing data on water surface extent and elevation that was complemented with citizen-contributed gauge data. Assuming a trapezoidal bathymetry, an area-volume relationship was developed for selected haors. This relationship was assumed to be valid for extrapolating volumetric estimations over all the haors in the region. Results suggested that as haors get filled with the onset of monsoon rains, total estimated storage relative to the lowest observable level varied from 6.5 (±0.4) km3 in May to 30.9 (±2.0) km3 in July (peak of monsoon). Choosing a rectangular bathymetry can lead to 47% higher estimates compared to trapezoidal cross section. Estimating this intra-annual/interannual increase in storage is important for the region to plan water management policies that balance the human and ecosystem needs. Our analytical approach has potential for application to wetlands worldwide in light of the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission.

description: Baseflow is often treated according to a unique storage-discharge relationship. However, recent innovations in baseflow recession analysis have allowed novel findings regarding the variability of both the stability of baseflow and its nonlinearity (i.e., the concavity of the hydrograph), as well as the regional clustering of these characteristics. We investigate spatial and temporal patterns in the character of baseflow recession for over 1,000 watersheds in the continental United States. We discover seasonal patterns in both the stability and nonlinearity of baseflow which vary systematically across large regions. Further, we relate these baseflow characteristics to their potential physical drivers, including estimates of evapotranspiration, watershed storage, the distribution of watershed storage, and precipitation. While coincident watershed storage is the best predictor of baseflow stability in many regions (particularly the Appalachian Mountains), evapotranspiration from 2 to 3 months previous is the best predictor of baseflow stability in other regions (particularly the Pacific Northwest). We also discuss the novel finding that baseflow nonlinearity has increased significantly in most watersheds across the United States since 1980.

description: All'interno del più ampio fenomeno della cosiddetta "giuridificazione" degli errori storici, il documento esamina il ruolo del diritto privato come strumento per la giustizia riparativa. Considerando che l'uso del diritto privato e dei suoi rimedi (ad esempio il contratto, illecito, arricchimento ingiusto) come strumenti di "riparazione" può sembrare in contrasto con le funzioni di giustizia riparativa, il documento valuta l’ampia controversia che è stata avviata in diversi sistemi giuridici soprattutto a partire dalla fine del XX secolo e che, sebbene basata su affermazioni mutuate dal diritto privato, pongono una serie di problemi specifici che meritano attenzione.

description: A rethinking of the conventional strategies of musical structuring has been intensively developed since WWII. At this time, not only the rules of the codified system of tonality were overcome, but also the notion of musical sound itself as it had been conventionally intended was questioned. The note, which implies the supremacy of pitch among sound qualities, was no longer accepted as the basic element of musical language. The notion of 'sonic object' was introduced, which entails the idea that musical sound can exceed the limits defined by conventional practice and codified system, and should be considered as an object to be researched and understood, in order to exploit its full potential. The research consists of a comparative study of three musicians operating in France after WWII: Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Boulez, and Gerard Grisey. Apart from the obvious geographical connection, they share the will to develop a new way to organise music on the basis of the accurate understanding and complete exploitation of the sonic object. The research is organised in three sections, each devoted to the study of one musician, each using his theoretical and, where possible, his musical output to clarify his thought and the reasons of his practice. However, for every specific topic of discussion, comparisons between the musicians are undertaken, so that the originality and/or inconsistency of each is highlighted by a confrontation with the others. Overall, the work shows how, notwithstanding evident superficial differences, especially in the definition and description of the sonic object, all three musicians had to confront very similar basic issues, and how the theoretical codification of any music is in fact, most of the time, a quest for a conceptual coherence which is always exceeded by musical practice.

description: Programmable optical circuits form a key part of quantum technologies today, ranging from transceivers for quantum communication to integrated photonic chips for quantum information processing. As the size of such circuits is increased, maintaining precise control over every individual component becomes challenging, leading to a reduction in the quality of the operations performed. In parallel, minor imperfections in circuit fabrication are amplified in this regime, dramatically inhibiting their performance. Here we show how embedding an optical circuit in the higher-dimensional space of a large, ambient mode-mixer using inverse-design techniques allows us to forgo control over each individual circuit element, while retaining a high degree of programmability over the circuit. Using this approach, we implement high-dimensional linear optical circuits within a complex scattering medium consisting of a commercial multi-mode fibre placed between two controllable phase planes. We employ these circuits to manipulate high-dimensional spatial-mode entanglement in up to seven dimensions, demonstrating their application as fully programmable quantum gates. Furthermore, we show how their programmability allows us to turn the multi-mode fibre itself into a generalised multi-outcome measurement device, allowing us to both transport and certify entanglement within the transmission channel. Finally, we discuss the scalability of our approach, numerically showing how a high circuit fidelity can be achieved with a low circuit depth by harnessing the resource of a high-dimensional mode-mixer. Our work serves as an alternative yet powerful approach for realising precise control over high-dimensional quantum states of light, with clear applications in next-generation quantum communication and computing technologies.

description: Horizontal shifts in the top layer of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, induced by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip, are presented. Excellent agreement is found between STM images and those simulated using density functional theory. First-principle calculations identify that the low-energy barrier direction of the top layer displacement is toward a structure where none of the carbon pz orbitals overlap, while the high-energy barrier direction is toward AA stacking. Each directional shift yields a real-space surface charge density similar to graphene; however the low-energy barrier direction requires only one bond length to convert ABA (Bernal) to ABC (rhombohedral).

description: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a potent technique for the determination of three-dimensional atomic scale structure of samples in structural biology and materials science. In structural biology, three-dimensional structures of proteins are routinely determined using phase-contrast single-particle cryo-electron microscopy from thousands of identical proteins, and reconstructions have reached atomic resolution for specific proteins. In materials science, three-dimensional atomic structures of complex nanomaterials have been determined using a combination of annular dark field (ADF) scanning transmission electron microscopic (STEM) tomography and subpixel localization of atomic peaks, in a method termed atomic electron tomography (AET). However, neither of these methods can determine the three-dimensional atomic structure of heterogeneous nanomaterials containing light elements. Here, we perform mixed-state electron ptychography from 34.5 million diffraction patterns to reconstruct a high-resolution tilt series of a double wall-carbon nanotube (DW-CNT), encapsulating a complex $\mathrm{ZrTe}$ sandwich structure. Class averaging of the resulting reconstructions and subpixel localization of the atomic peaks in the reconstructed volume reveals the complex three-dimensional atomic structure of the core-shell heterostructure with 17 picometer precision. From these measurements, we solve the full $\mathrm{Zr_{11}Te_{50}}$ structure, which contains a previously unobserved $\mathrm{ZrTe_{2}}$ phase in the core. The experimental realization of ptychographic atomic electron tomography (PAET) will allow for structural determination of a wide range of nanomaterials which are beam-sensitive or contain light elements.

description: Fingerprint individuality refers to the extent of uniqueness of fingerprints and is the main criteria for deciding between a match versus nonmatch in forensic testimony. Often, prints are subject to varying levels of noise, for example, the image quality may be low when a print is lifted from a crime scene. A poor image quality causes human experts as well as automatic systems to make more errors in feature detection by either missing true features or detecting spurious ones. This error lowers the extent to which one can claim individualization of fingerprints that are being matched. The aim of this paper is to quantify the decrease in individualization as image quality degrades based on fingerprint images in real databases. This, in turn, can be used by forensic experts along with their testimony in a court of law. An important practical concern is that the databases used typically consist of a large number of fingerprint images so computational algorithms such as the Gibbs sampler can be extremely slow. We develop algorithms based on the Laplace approximation of the likelihood and infer the unknown parameters based on this approximate likelihood. Two publicly available databases, namely, FVC2002 and FVC2006, are analyzed from which estimates of individuality are obtained. From a statistical perspective, the contribution can be treated as an innovative application of Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) to the field of fingerprint-based authentication.

An Empirical Reevaluation of Streamflow Recession Analysis at the Continental Scale

Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing Ltd

description: Streamflow recession analysis is a widely used hydrologic tool that uses readily available discharge measurements to estimate otherwise unmeasurable watershed-scale properties, predict low flows, and parameterize many lumped hydrologic models. Traditional methods apply the simplifying assumptions of outflow from a Boussinesq aquifer, which predicts the slope of the recession curve relating streamflow to its derivative in log-log space to decrease from early-stage to late-stage recession. However, this prediction has not been validated in actual watersheds. Also, recent studies have shown that slopes of observed recession events are often much greater than traditional methods that predict with data point clouds. We analyze recession behavior of 1,027 streams from across the continental United States for periods of 10 to 118 years, identifying over 155,000 individual recession events. We find that the average slope of observed recession events is greater than that of the point cloud for all streams. Further, recession slopes of observed events decrease with time in only 10% of cases and instead increase with time in 74% of cases. We identify only nine watersheds where observed streamflow behavior often conforms to the predictions of traditional recession analysis, each of which is arid and flat with low permeability. Analysis of our extensive empirical results with a regionalization of catchment hydrologic characteristics indicates that heterogeneity of subsurface flow paths increases the nonlinearity and convexity of observed recession, likely as a function of watershed memory. The practical implications of our analysis are that streamflow is more stable during periods of extended drought than generally predicted.

description: Il presente contributo sviluppa nel campo della legge la nozione di populismo elaborata dagli studi di teoria politica di Laclau e Mouffe, come una particolare forma di articolazione conflittuale di un discorso politico in una società liquida, basata su un condivisione dicotomica della società in due campi reciprocamente antagonisti: il popolo (la base) e il potere (le élite), identificati secondo criteri variabili. È una strategia discorsiva che persegue una mobilitazione volta alla rottura politica, piuttosto che alla sua gestione nella continuità istituzionale, ma neutrale rispetto ai potenziali contenuti di cui può essere colmato: a volte progressivo, a volte conservativo; a volte democratico, a volte autoritario. Il mondo del diritto non è estraneo all'avvento dell'era del populismo. L'offensiva per colonizzare il buon senso, che è peculiare di qualsiasi discorso populista, si concentra spesso su argomenti più o meno strettamente legali.

description: Fluid parts of the phase diagram of ${}^3$He -${}^4$He mixtures are obtained from a mean-field analysis of a suitable lattice gas model for binary liquid mixtures. The proposed model takes into account the continuous rotational symmetry O(2) of the superfluid degrees of freedom associated with ${}^4$He and includes the occurrence of vacancies. This latter degree of freedom allows the model to exhibit a vapor phase and hence can provide the theoretical framework to describe the experimental conditions for measurements of tricritical Casimir forces in ${}^3$He -${}^4$He wetting films.

The past and future of global river ice

description: More than one-third of Earth’s landmass is drained by rivers that seasonally freeze over. Ice transforms the hydrologic1,2, ecologic3,4, climatic5 and socio-economic6–8 functions of river corridors. Although river ice extent has been shown to be declining in many regions of the world1, the seasonality, historical change and predicted future changes in river ice extent and duration have not yet been quantified globally. Previous studies of river ice, which suggested that declines in extent and duration could be attributed to warming temperatures9,10, were based on data from sparse locations. Furthermore, existing projections of future ice extent are based solely on the location of the 0-°C isotherm11. Here, using satellite observations, we show that the global extent of river ice is declining, and we project a mean decrease in seasonal ice duration of 6.10 ± 0.08 days per 1-°C increase in global mean surface air temperature. We tracked the extent of river ice using over 400,000 clear-sky Landsat images spanning 1984–2018 and observed a mean decline of 2.5 percentage points globally in the past three decades. To project future changes in river ice extent, we developed an observationally calibrated and validated model, based on temperature and season, which reduced the mean bias by 87 per cent compared with the 0-degree-Celsius isotherm approach. We applied this model to future climate projections for 2080–2100: compared with 2009–2029, the average river ice duration declines by 16.7 days under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5, whereas under RCP 4.5 it declines on average by 7.3 days. Our results show that, globally, river ice is measurably declining and will continue to decline linearly with projected increases in surface air temperature towards the end of this century.

description: Existing publicly available digital elevation models (DEMs) provide global-scale data but are often not precise enough for studying processes that depend on small-scale topographic features in rivers. For example, slope breaks and knickpoints in rivers can be important in understanding tectonic processes, and riffle-pool structures are important drivers of riverine ecology. More precise data (e.g., lidar) are available in some areas, but their spatial extent limits large-scale research. The upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission is planned to launch in 2021 and will provide measurements of elevation and inundation extent of surface waters between 78° north and south latitude on average twice every 21 days. We present a novel noise reduction method for multitemporal river water surface elevation (WSE) profiles from SWOT that combines a truncated singular value decomposition and a slope-constrained least-squares estimator. We use simulated SWOT data of 85–145 km sections of the Po, Sacramento, and Tanana Rivers to show that 3–12 months of simulated SWOT data can produce elevation profiles with mean absolute errors (MAEs) of 5.38–12.55 cm at 100–200 m along-stream resolution. MAEs can be reduced further to 4–11 cm by averaging all observations. The average profiles have errors much lower than existing DEMs, allowing new advances in riverine research globally. We consider two case studies in geomorphology and ecology that highlight the scientific value of the more accurate in-river DEMs expected from SWOT. Simulated SWOT elevation profiles for the Po reveal convexities in the river longitudinal profile that are spatially coincident with the upward projection of blind thrust faults that are buried beneath the Po Plain at the northern termination of the Apennine Mountains. Meanwhile, simulated SWOT data for the Sacramento River reveals locally steep sections of the river profile that represent important habitat for benthic invertebrates at a spatial scale previously unrecognizable in large-scale DEMs presently available for this river.

description: We present a novel method for the light-curve characterization of Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey (PS1 MDS) extragalactic sources into stochastic variables (SV) and burst-like (BL) transients, using multi-band image-differencing time-series data. We select detections in difference images associated with galaxy hosts using a star/galaxy catalog extracted from the deep PS1 MDS stacked images, and adopt a maximum a posteriori formulation to model their difference-flux time-series in four Pan-STARRS1 photometric bands g,r,i, and z. We use three deterministic light-curve models to fit burst-like transients and one stochastic light curve model, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, in order to fit variability that is characteristic of active galactic nuclei (AGN). We assess the quality of fit of the models band-wise source-wise, using their estimated leave-out-one cross-validation likelihoods and corrected Akaike information criteria. We then apply a K-means clustering algorithm on these statistics, to determine the source classification in each band. The final source classification is derived as a combination of the individual filter classifications. We use our clustering method to characterize 4361 extragalactic image difference detected sources in the first 2.5 years of the PS1 MDS, into 1529 BL, and 2262 SV, with a purity of 95.00% for AGN, and 90.97% for SN based on our verification sets. We combine our light-curve classifications with their nuclear or off-nuclear host galaxy offsets, to define a robust photometric sample of 1233 active galactic nuclei and 812 supernovae. We use these samples to identify simple photometric priors that would enable their real-time identification in future wide-field synoptic surveys.

description: Not much is currently known about the burden of IMD in many parts of Asia. Although the incidence is considered low, the presence of high-risk populations within this region and the environmental similarities between parts of this region and the AMB, increases the likelihood that epidemiological “hotspots” may be unreported. Some of these high-risk populations are soldiers, inmates in prisons, students in dormitories and people returning from Hajj. These groups are likely to have a higher risk than the average carriage rate of N. Meningitidis and would benefit from vaccination with conjugate vaccines.

The dependence of nonlinear absorption of the WS2 and MoS2 films on layer number and excitation wavelength was studied systematically. WS2 with 1~3 layers exhibits a giant two-photon absorption (TPA) coefficient. Saturation of TPA for WS2 with 1~3 layers and MoS2 with 25~27 layers was observed. The giant nonlinearity of WS2 and MoS2 is attributed to two dimensional confinement, a giant exciton effect and the band edge resonance of TPA.

description: The main signature for anti-neutrino detection in reactor and geo-neutrino experiments based on scintillators is provided by the space-time coincidence of positron and neutron produced in the Inverse Beta Decay reaction. Such a signature strongly suppresses backgrounds and allows for measurements performed underground with a relatively high signal-to-background ratio. In an aboveground environment, however, the twofold coincidence technique is not sufficient to efficiently reject the high background rate induced by cosmogenic events. Enhancing the positron-neutron twofold coincidence efficiency has the potential to pave the way future aboveground detectors for reactor monitoring. We propose a new detection scheme based on a threefold coincidence, between the positron ionization, the ortho-positronium (o-Ps) decay, and the neutron capture, in a sandwich detector with alternated layers of plastic scintillator and aerogel powder. We present the results of a set of dedicated measurements on the achievable light yield and on the o-Ps formation and lifetime. The efficiencies for signal detection and background rejection of a preliminary detector design are also discussed.

description: AirSWOT is an airborne Ka-band synthetic aperture radar, capable of mapping water surface elevation (WSE) and water surface slope (WSS) using single-pass interferometry. AirSWOT was designed as a calibration and validation instrument for the forthcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, an international spaceborne synthetic aperture radar mission planned for launch in 2022 which will enable global mapping of WSE and WSS. As an airborne instrument, capable of quickly repeating overflights, AirSWOT enables measurement of high frequency and fine scale hydrological processes encountered in coastal regions. In this paper, we use data collected by AirSWOT in the Mississippi River Delta and surrounding wetlands of coastal Louisiana, USA, to investigate the capabilities of Ka-band interferometry for mapping WSE and WSS in coastal marsh environments. We introduce a data-driven method to estimate the time-varying interferometric phase drift resulting from radar hardware response to environmental conditions. A system of linear equations based on AirSWOT measurements is solved for elevation bias and time-varying phase calibration parameters using weighted least squares. We observed AirSWOT WSE uncertainty of 12 cm RMS compared to in situ water level measurements when averaged over an area of 0.5 km2 at incidence angles below 15°. At higher incidence angles, the observed AirSWOT elevation bias is possibly due to residual phase calibration errors or radar backscatter from vegetation. Elevation profiles along the Wax Lake Outlet river channel indicate AirSWOT can measure WSS over a 24 km distance with uncertainty below 0.3 cm/km, 8% of the true water surface slope as measured by in situ data. The data analysis and results presented in this paper demonstrate the potential of AirSWOT to measure water surface elevation and slope within highly dynamic and spatially complex coastal environments.

description: Cette étude visait à analyser la façon dont les enseignants vaudois utilisent les deux différentes théories d’apprentissages principales lors de cours d’EPS à l’école. Les deux courants majeurs dans ce domaine sont les approches cognitives et écologiques. La première est basée sur le postulat que pour apprendre, un sujet doit être capable de se représenter une action et qu’il doit avoir conscience des procédures qu’il devra réaliser pour tendre vers un geste parfait. Ceci implique un apprentissage où la réflexion de l’élève est stimulée. L’approche écologique est quant à elle basée sur le principe que c’est les conditions environnementales dans lesquelles est mis l’élève qui va lui permettre d’apprendre et de progresser. Ceci sous-entend un apprentissage où l’élève pratique un maximum dans différentes conditions qui vont le pousser à améliorer la façon dont il réalise ses actions. Ce travail analyse donc la façon dont les maîtres d’éducation physique vaudois utilisent ces approches et s’ils font des différences en fonction du type de pratique (sports individuels ou sports collectifs). Pour réaliser cette recherche, six entretiens ont été effectués et les participants ont dû expliquer concrètement comment ils abordaient l’apprentissage des sports individuels et des sports collectifs avec leurs élèves. Les résultats ont montré certaines différences d’approches par rapport à l’activité enseignée. Ces observations ont ensuite été discutées en fonction de l’expérience des enseignants et de la façon dont ceux-ci fixent leurs objectifs ou définissent l’activité qu’ils enseignent.

description: L’articolo esamina l’impatto della promulgazione del nuovo “Codice della crisi di impresa e dell’insolvenza” (CCI), Decreto legislativo n. 14/2019, sul vigente diritto d’impresa italiano. Il CCI, infatti, apporta significativi cambiamenti alle strutture organizzative imprenditoriali e aziendali, con riguardo agli organi di sorveglianza e alle azioni di responsabilità nei confronti dei dirigenti. Mentre la stragrande maggioranza delle disposizioni del CCI entrerà in vigore non prima di 18 mesi dalla promulgazione, le regole del diritto di impresa, gli Articolo 375, 377, 378 e 379, sono già in vigore. Lo scopo di questo articolo è fornire un primo riassunto e commentario di queste regole che, sotto diversi aspetti, emendano il Codice civile italiano.

description: Recent development of theoretical method for dissipative quantum transport have achieved notable progresses in the weak or strong electron-phonon coupling regime. However, a generalized theory for dissipative quantum transport at arbitrary parameter regime is not figured out until now. In this work, a variational method for dissipative quantum transport at arbitrary electron-phonon coupling regime is developed by employing variational polaron theory. The optimal polaron transformation is determined by the optimization of the Feynman-Bogoliubov upper bound of free energy. % which is variational in nature. The free energy minimization ends up with an optimal mean-field Hamiltonian and a minimal interaction Hamiltonian. Hence, second-order perturbation can be applied to the transformed system, resulting an accurate and efficient method for the treatment of dissipative quantum transport with arbitrary electron-phonon coupling strength. Numerical benchmark calculation on an single site model with coupling to one phonon mode is also presented.

description: Durant ma formation, j’ai effectué, au sein des différents établissements du canton de Vaud, quatre stages en pratique accompagnée (stage A) en secondaire 1. Tout du long, je me suis interrogée sur les difficultés que j’avais à m’imposer en tant qu’enseignante et à exercer de façon efficace mon autorité. J’ai donc décidé de recueillir les représentations de l’autorité et de l’exercice de l’autorité chez six stagiaires qui ont effectué leur formation pratique en stage A. Mon objectif était de proposer quelques pistes quant aux facteurs qui pouvaient favoriser ou bien, au contraire, faire obstacle à l’exercice de l’autorité. L’autorité en milieu scolaire est surtout associée à la gestion de classe, condition nécessaire à la transmission du savoir, ainsi qu’au respect entre l’enseignant et ses élèves. J’ai mis en évidence deux types de facteurs facilitant ou limitant l’exercice de l’autorité. Dans les facteurs internes, c’est la gentillesse, la bienveillance et l’autorité naturelle qui ont été mises en avant alors que dans les facteurs externes, les étudiants ont cité la présence du PraFo, la relation avec lui, le type de classe et surtout le statut du stagiaire. Ce dernier, selon les personnes que j’ai interrogées, constitue un vrai obstacle dans la construction d’une véritable relation entre le maître et l’élève et empêche également l’exercice efficace de l’autorité. Tout au long de ses stages, un étudiant en formation doit fournir des efforts afin de s’imposer en tant qu’enseignant à part entière. Cette situation est due à son statut qui le situe à mi-chemin entre un apprenti et un professionnel.

description: The airborne AirSWOT instrument suite, consisting of an interferometric Ka-band synthetic aperture radar and color-infrared (CIR) camera, was deployed to northern North America in July and August 2017 as part of the NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE).We present validated, open (i.e., vegetation-free) surface water masks produced from high-resolution (1 m), co-registered AirSWOT CIR imagery using a semi-automated, object-based water classification. The imagery and resulting high-resolution water masks are available as open-access datasets and support interpretation of AirSWOT radar and other coincident ABoVE image products, including LVIS, UAVSAR, AIRMOSS, AVIRIS-NG, and CFIS. These synergies offer promising potential for multi-sensor analysis of Arctic-Boreal surface water bodies. In total, 3167 km2 of open surface water were mapped from 23,380 km2 of flight lines spanning 23 degrees of latitude and broad environmental gradients. Detected water body sizes range from 0.00004 km2 (40 m2) to 15 km2. Power-law extrapolations are commonly used to estimate the abundance of small lakes from coarser resolution imagery, and our mapped water bodies followed power-law distributions, but only for water bodies greater than 0.34 (±0.13) km2 in area. For water bodies exceeding this size threshold, the coefficients of power-law fits vary for different Arctic-Boreal physiographic terrains (wetland, prairie pothole, lowland river valley, thermokarst, and Canadian Shield). Thus, direct mapping using high-resolution imagery remains the most accurate way to estimate the abundance of small surface water bodies. We conclude that empirical scaling relationships, useful for estimating total trace gas exchange and aquatic habitats on Arctic-Boreal landscapes, are uniquely enabled by high-resolution AirSWOT-like mappings and automated detection methods such as those developed here.

description: Imaginer un audioguide interdisciplinaire, mêlant le français et l’histoire, pour favoriser l’autonomie et la dévolution chez les élèves d’une classe ressource, tel est le point de départ de notre travail. Après un premier projet réalisé un an auparavant, nous avons voulu pousser l’expérience plus loin, en demandant aux élèves de créer de A à Z un audioguide sur le général Guisan : recherche des informations, rédaction des supports écrits, des enregistrements formatifs, des ateliers individuels pour corriger le fond et l’oralisation et pour terminer un enregistrement sommatif. Ce travail s’est inscrit dans la pédagogie du projet. Les élèves se doutent que le travail de l’enseignant est de les faire apprendre, mais la pédagogie du projet doit leur permettre de faire passer cela au second plan, tandis que l’objectif principal sera d’atteindre un but précis, d’avoir la satisfaction du travail accompli et dans l’idéal de recevoir un retour positif de la part du destinataire à qui s’adresse le projet final. Après avoir posé les bases théoriques nécessaires à la compréhension de notre travail, la séquence complète sera détaillée dans son ensemble, telle qu’elle a été imaginée par l’enseignant. En parallèle, les changements opérés en cours de route et les outils utilisés seront présentés. En effet, tout ne se sera pas déroulé sans accrocs durant la séquence, divisée en différents modules. Les élèves ont eu besoin d’être remobilisés et plus encadrés qu’initialement prévu. Néanmoins, leur progression aura été constante tout au long du travail et le rendu final positif. Leurs impressions seront confrontées à celles de l’enseignant afin de pouvoir tirer les enjeux, les atouts mais également les limites de l’interdisciplinarité pour favoriser la dévolution la plus totale possible chez les élèves, particulièrement ceux qui sont en difficultés scolaires.
