Retrospective image analysis for long‐term demography using Google Earth imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution Google Earth imagery, combined with minimal field validation, enables retrospective tracking of individual invasive plants. The image shows one of the monitored individuals of Opuntia sp. in Greece. Our approach reveals long‐term demographic patterns, recruitment dynamics, and spatial expansion without continuous ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Water Losses and Environmental Efficiency in Urban Water Supply Systems: A Comparative Assessment for Spain and Portugal

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water losses are a critical environmental and operational challenge, especially in regions exposed to increasing water stress. This study assesses the environmental productivity of municipal water supply services in Spain and Portugal during the period 2014–2022, explicitly treating losses as an undesirable output.

Fertilizer Sustainability: A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Equitable and Sustainable Soil Inputs

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern industrial agriculture is predicated largely on the production and utilization of chemical fertilizers. Although this approach has played an integral role in increasing food security in many parts of the world, the long‐term sustainability of this resource‐intensive approach is questionable.

Affordable and Clean Energy: CO2 Emissions, Resilience and Inequality

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable development means building the resilience of both people and the planet. It includes implementing strategies which reduce emissions while also enabling more vulnerable households to transition to clean and affordable energy. This paper examines household CO2 emissions in Ireland to highlight those who emit most and least in key ...

T‐800: An 800 Hz Data Glove for Precise Hand Gesture Tracking

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Hand motion capture provides critical insights into human dexterity and facilitates advancements in robotic manipulation, yet existing systems are limited by a trade‐off between temporal resolution and visual occlusion. Here, the authors present T‐800, a high‐bandwidth data glove achieving synchronized full‐hand motion capturing at 800 Hz.

Bifunctional Electrocatalysts in Rechargeable Lithium‐Gas Batteries: Material Evolution and Mechanistic Insights from Metal‐Free Carbons to Carbon‐Supported Single‐Atom Sites

Small, EarlyView.
This review charts the material evolution of bifunctional electrocatalysts for rechargeable lithium‐gas batteries. It highlights the journey from heteroatom‐doped, metal‐free carbon architectures to precision‐engineered carbon‐supported single‐atom sites. The discussion focuses on mechanistic insights into how these catalysts govern reversible O2, CO2,

Single‐Nanoparticle Detection Using Quasi‐Bound States in the Continuum Supported by Silicon Metasurfaces

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the detection of virus‐sized single polystyrene particles in water by leveraging the ultrahigh‐Q nature of low‐contrast bound states in the continuum (BIC) metasurfaces. The resonance properties of silicon BIC metasurfaces—wavelength, linewidth, and amplitude—all exhibit single‐particle sensitivity, representing a unique sensing

Leverage Points for Meaningful Participation: A 5‐Point Framework From a Rural South African Landscape

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative forms of natural resource management are required. Participation of local actors is necessary but not sufficient, for moving away from the conventional top‐down approaches. This paper develops a 5‐point framework for enabling meaningful participation in rural landscape governance.
