A proper geomorphic study of a region can be useful in understanding past and present environmental circumstances and analyzing potential environmental risks. Careful analysis of morphodynamic processes and existing diagnostic landforms reveal several aspects about the origin, characteristics and possible pattern of morpho-climatic interactions on the landscape over temporal scale, which helps significantly in proper terrain evaluation from societal welfare and integrated management point of view, including environmental risk assessment and disaster management. This paper has made a thorough geomorphic investigation based on intensive fieldwork and multi-sourced remote sensing data to characterize the lateritic soil profile and landforms of the study area in respect to their morphology and Physico-chemical properties at the different sites of land degradation to understand the outcome of morphoclimatic interactions on the landscape over time, and to evaluate the severity of operation with pedo-geomorphic constraints in the lateritic environment for sustainable management purposes. It is found that the region is highly sensitive to weathering, mass movement and denudational activities, mainly caused by rainwater erosion which has resulted into varied landforms including well-developed rills and gullies, lateritic ridges, isolated residual hills etc and generated a unique identity to this part of the lateritic region. The study also suggested a model for the development of geomorphic landforms in a lateritic terrain based on past and present morphoclimatic interactions, nature of physiography, lithology, soil characteristics and other biotic and abiotic elements. The region is also found to be a subject to moderate to severe land degradation due to the active geomorphic processes in operation in tropical regions and inherently poor physical and chemical formation of the existing soil profile and radical conversion of land uses as observed at cadastral level leading towards irresistible desertification. Annual topsoil loss amount has been calculated using the Universal Soil Loss Equation method. Three sample Mouzas namely Ballavpur, Shyambati and Chawpahari jungle have been assessed to be having 36.98%, 71.42% and 61.73% of degraded land in respect to their total village area. Various conservative measures like stabilization of gully heads and beds through reforestation and afforestation with cutting earth plug, brush fills and check dams; improvement of the irrigation network, suitable dryland farming etc. have been recommended to arrest the desertification process.

In order to solve the problems of inaccurate and untimely monitoring and high false alarm rate in the current monitoring of the tower pole tilt attitude, this paper proposes a technology for monitoring the tower pole tilt attitude based on RTK technology of Beidou reverse network. This method uses reverse network RTK differential positioning algorithm, which can improve the positioning accuracy of the low-cost Beidou/GNSS positioning terminal and make the positioning accuracy of the tower pole tilt monitoring reach the millimeter level. In this paper, the tilt attitude information of the transmission line tower is measured and calculated by using the height and position information of the transmission line tower, and then the risk assessment is carried out, so as to control the tilt attitude and assess the risk of the transmission line tower. The actual test results show that the method can obtain the information of the tilt attitude of transmission tower pole accurately and reliably, and can be used to evaluate it, which meets the requirements of intelligent, accurate and digital management.

The pet trade in aquatic animals is known to be one of the main sources of non-native species worldwide. Freshwater decapod crustaceans have increased in popularity as ornamentals in the last two decades. Freshwater crabs of the genus Limnopilos were discovered by hobby aquarists and introduced on the market in 2008. They are generally considered interesting additions to an aquarium, but information about their living requirements are scarce. Additionally, their invasive potential is not known. Here, we present a survey of the availability of Limnopilos crabs on the market in Europe and North America and analyzed the invasive potential of all species from the genus based on climate matching from a global perspective. The only species recorded in the pet trade is L. naiyanetri, but future introduction of other species is discussed. Certain tropical regions were identified as the most suitable for the potential establishment of Limnopilos crabs including the northern part of South America, and L. microrhynchus was evaluated as the highest risk species. In this pilot study, we also suggest some points to be answered regarding further improving the risk assessment and also recommend continuous monitoring of the market for ornamental decapods.

Geophysical measurement relies on the positioning accuracy of GPS (global positioning system). Usually the positioning accuracy is area dependent. This paper uses a commercially available GPS receiver to verify its positioning accuracy with practical measurement in a small area. With a measurement setup in an open ground, the results show that even for the fixed point, the GPS measured positioning error of about 0.234 meter could be observed for a period of time. Of 12 GPS measured distance errors, only one is about 5.7 meters, all others are within the range of 3-5 meters of GPS receiver specification.
