Bathymetric surveys of two small lakes in Newfoundland, located in different environments and separated by hundreds of kilometres, were carried out using two different survey methods—ground penetrating radar (GPR) and sound navigation and ranging (sonar). The different structures of these two disparate ponds were found to be related to the differing geology and degrees of anthropogenic influence at the two locations. In addition, the study outlined the strengths and limitations of the two survey methods. Tipping’s Pond, on the outskirts of the town of Corner Brook in western Newfoundland, is a sinkhole in a popular recreation area. It is roughly square with an area of 1.6 km2 and is slightly salty, making it largely impenetrable by radar. Bathymetric surveys with a salinity-impervious fish-finder sonar system revealed Tipping’s Pond to be bowl-shaped and more than 25 m deep in the centre. Grassy Pond, 3 km inland from the Trans-Canada Highway in eastern Newfoundland, is within an undeveloped area accessible by snowmobile in the winter. It has an irregular, elongated shape 1.2 km2 in area and is very fresh. As well as determining the bathymetry, GPR was able to determine the depth of a soft sediment layer overlying till, and to image structures within the soft sediments. The top of the sediment layer is undulating and shallow (<2.9 m deep) whereas the base of the sediments overlies sub-basins about 8 m deep.

Among the tenets of enterprise risk management (ERM) is the need to instill a risk-aware culture throughout the firm. Yet, how to actually interpret and change organizational culture is generally missing from the ERM literature. Prior surveys found risk managers lacked useful information about organizational culture and cultural change to implement a “risk aware culture.” Our survey of risk managers found this gap persists. The disciplines of organizational studies, business anthropology and sociology provide guidance on organizational culture, which involves identifying and interpreting the embedded assumptions, values, myths, artifacts, rituals, and stories that communicate and perpetuate a culture. The risk manager can use this knowledge to apply change to the culture. Changing behavior without changing culture may simply result in compliance without adoption. This article seeks to bridge the studies of organizational culture and change to the risk manager.

This study aimed at establishing prevalence of retraction articles in various scientific fields and exploring reasons why researchers are interested in the phenomenon. To do this, a non-systematic literature review was carried out. Results show that 70% of retraction articles pertain to the natural and medical sciences and that the reasons leading researchers to take an interest in retractions are shared in all science fields. However, specificities of research fields are raised to explain the reduced number of retraction studies in the human and social sciences domain, and specifically in education.
