Revealing the dark biodiversity around us through a national school‐based citizen science project
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract School‐based citizen science holds great potential for expanding biodiversity knowledge while engaging young people in authentic scientific practices. This is particularly important for revealing ‘dark biodiversity’, defined as the vast yet often overlooked biodiversity that remains hidden due to its small size or cryptic nature, including ...

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists
PLANTS, 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
Journal 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.

The Use of Steel Slag in Asphaltic Mixture
Key Engineering Materials, 2004 Steel slag is a residue produced by refining iron to steel in open-hearth, basic oxygen and electric arc furnaces. It is liquid cooled from its molten state and has high density. The possibilities for the recycling of steel slag differ from country to country, depending on the chemical composition of the slags, steel making process, the national and ...

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

OPTIMIZING ASPHALT MIXTURES TO BE HEATED BY MICROWAVE
Proceedings 17th International Conference on Microwave and High Frequency Heating, 2019 Over the last ten years the concept of self healing in asphalt mixtures for roads pavements has been reaching great importance due to the fact that this capability allows a material to recuperate original properties after failure. This new generation of asphalt paving materials would allow road agencies to save no renewable resources as aggregates and ...
