Envisioning human–nature relationships in the Wadden: An embodied, arts‐based approach for exploring relational, more‐than‐human futures

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Dominant approaches to imagining futures are often anthropocentric, emphasising socio‐technical change without fully accounting for human–nature relationships. Yet sustainability transformations demand approaches to imagining alternative, desirable futures that centre respectful and reciprocal human–nature relationships and reveal the ...

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

From Plot to Block: Participatory Land Use for Climate‐Resilient Detached Housing in Finland

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how urban planning in Finland is adapting to climate change, focusing on the practical challenges planners face in single‐family housing areas. It draws on participatory workshops with municipal planners in Pori and Joensuu, where three planning tools—green factor metrics, impermeable surface limits, and the 3–30‐300 ...
