Rubber snow interface and friction

open access: yes, 2014
Tyres are used in everyday life for a variety of practical and recreational tasks. Frictional behaviour of tyres on any surface is important for vehicle safety and control; this behaviour becomes more important when that surface is snow.

Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Snow depth measurements and predictions : Reducing environmental impact for artificial grass pitches at snowfall

open access: yes, 2020
Rubber granulates, used at artificial grass pitches, pose a threat to the environment when leaking into the nature. As the granulates leak to the environment through rain water and snow clearances, they can be transported by rivers and later on end up in

Future projection of habitat suitability and potential distribution of main European cereal bugs using MaxEnt modelling

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Global climate change will modify the distribution areas of important cereal bugs by changing environmental conditions. Information on their dispersal possibilities can help to clarify their future economic importance and damage potential. In this study, we modelled the current potential and future distribution of four important pests by using the ...

Experience and self‐interest: Diverging responses to global warming

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract People are increasingly feeling global warming's effects through extreme heat and natural disasters. How do these climate shocks affect political attitudes? We argue that the effect of climate‐related experiences depends significantly on self‐interest.

Bonds, Bounds, and Borders: Crafting Hospitality with Unauthorized Migrants in Southern France

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article analyzes the everyday politics of migrant hospitality in rural Southern France. Drawing on four years of fieldwork alongside benevolent residents hosting unauthorized migrants at their home or volunteering in migrant shelters, I consider how residents attempted to make up for the state's abandonment of migrant lives, the ethical ...

The Mobile Core: Perpetuating Tourism Leakage Through the Socioecological Fix in South Korea

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT By adopting the socioecological fix concept, this study aims to examine the spatial dynamics of tourism leakage. An ethnographic examination of an ecotourism project on Jeju Island, South Korea was conducted for 18 months from 2011 to 2013.

Design-based stereology to quantify structural properties of artificial and natural snow using thin sections

open access: yes, 2012
The quantification of the structural properties of snow is traditionally based on model-based stereology. Model-based stereology requires assumptions about the shape of the investigated structure. Here, we show how the density, specific surface area, and

Blueprint of a smokescreen: Introducing the validated climate disinformation corpus for behavioural research on combating climate disinformation

open access: yesBritish Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Behavioural science research has the potential to develop evidence‐based strategies to fight disinformation about climate science and climate mitigation action; however, this research has yet to be conducted systematically with validated sets of climate disinformation stimuli. Here, we present the Climate Disinformation Corpus, a collection of

TreeON: Reconstructing 3D Tree Point Clouds from Orthophotos and Heightmaps

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present TreeON, a novel neural‐based framework for reconstructing detailed 3D tree point clouds from sparse top‐down geodata, using only a single orthophoto and its corresponding Digital Surface Model (DSM). Our method introduces a new training supervision strategy that combines both geometric supervision and a differentiable shadow and ...
