Natural Resource Management (NRM) is often conducted as a partnership between government and citizens. In Australia, government agencies formulate policy and fund implementation that may be delivered on-ground by community groups (such as Landcare). Since the late 1980s, over AUS$8b of Commonwealth investment has been made in NRM. However, quantitative evidence of environmental improvements is lacking. The NRM Planning Portal has been developed to (1) provide an online spatial information system for sharing Landcare and agency data; and (2) to facilitate NRM priority setting at local and regional planning scales. While the project successfully federates Landcare NRM activity data, challenges included (1) unstructured, non-standardized data, meaning that quantitative reporting against strategic objectives is not currently possible, and (2) a lack of common understanding about the value proposition for adopting the portal approach. Demonstrating the benefit of technology adoption is a key lesson for digital NRM planning. 相似文献

It has been shown that the model of a scattering medium composed of clusters located in the far zones of each other allows some properties of regolith-like surfaces to be quantitatively estimated from the phase dependences of intensity and polarization measured in the backscattering domain. From the polarization profiles, the sizes of particles, the structure and porosity of the medium, and a portion of the surface area covered with a disperse material can be determined. At the same time, the intensity profiles of the scattered light weakly depend on the sizes and structure of particles; they are mainly controlled by the concentration of scatterers in the medium and the shadow-hiding contribution at small phase angles. Since the latter effect is beyond the considered model, a good agreement between the model and the measured intensity cannot be achieved. Nevertheless, if a portion of the surface that participates in coherent backscattering has been found from the phase profile of polarization, the present model makes it possible to determine the relative contribution of the shadow-hiding effect to the brightness surge measured at zero phase angle. This, in turn, may allow the roughness of the scattering surface to be estimated. The model contains no free parameters, but there is currently no possibility to verify it comprehensively by the data obtained in laboratory measurements of the samples with thoroughly controlled characteristics, because such measurements are rare for a wide range of the properties of particles in a medium, their packing density, and phase angles.
Oued Awlitis 001 is a highly feldspathic, moderately equilibrated, clast‐rich, poikilitic impact melt rock lunar meteorite that was recovered in 2014. Its poikilitic texture formed due to moderately slow cooling, which judging from textures of rocks in melt sheets of terrestrial impact structures, is observed in impact melt volumes at least 100 m thick. Such coherent impact melt volumes occur in lunar craters larger than ~50 km in diameter. The composition of Oued Awlitis 001 points toward a crustal origin distant from incompatible‐element‐rich regions. Comparison of the bulk composition of Oued Awlitis 001 with Lunar Prospector 5° γ‐ray spectrometer data indicates a limited region of matches on the lunar farside. After its initial formation in an impact crater larger than ~50 km in diameter, Oued Awlitis 001 was excavated from a depth greater than ~50 m. The cosmogenic nuclide inventory of Oued Awlitis 001 records ejection from the Moon 0.3 Ma ago from a depth of at least 4 m and little mass loss due to ablation during its passage through Earth's atmosphere. The terrestrial residence time must have been very short, probably less than a few hundred years; its exact determination was precluded by a high concentration of solar cosmic ray‐produced 14C. If the impact that excavated Oued Awlitis 001 also launched it, this event likely produced an impact crater >10 km in diameter. Using petrologic constraints and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera and Diviner data, we test Giordano Bruno and Pierazzo as possible launch craters for Oued Awlitis 001. 相似文献
