Shallow Shear‐Wave Reflection Surveys in the Wellington Central Business District
Seismic reflection profiling using shear waves provides constraints on the thickness of sediments beneath the Wellington Central Business District. Standard seismic methods were modified for urban environments where limited grassed areas are available and levels of cultural noise are high.

Dynamic Optimal Transport with Optimal Star‐Shaped Graphs
ABSTRACT We study an optimal transport problem in a compact convex set Ω⊂Rd$\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^d$ where bulk transport is coupled to dynamic optimal transport on a metric graph G=(V,E,l)$ \mathsf {G}= (\mathsf {V},\mathsf {E},l)$ which is embedded in Ω$\Omega$. We prove the existence of solutions for fixed graphs.

“You Are Safe Now”: Migrant Youth Constructions of Safety and Schooling in the U.S.
ABSTRACT Drawing on multisited ethnographic research with migrant families from Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras who were detained, separated, or endured prolonged transit due to US immigration policies, we articulate how ideas of “relational safety” are situated in relationships with people, place, and time. Contrasting abundant literature

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.
