People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Nature‐based tourism is a rapidly growing subsector of the international tourism industry. However, capturing broad‐scale patterns of nature visits during touristic trips or visitors' appreciation of nature may be difficult using traditional data sources and methods. In this study, we harness geotagged social media data to understand the scale

VertigO, 2018 Especially in areas with high human and non-human stakes, coastal dunes may act as natural forms of coastal protection against coastal flooding. This justifies the importance of assessing their ability at protecting the low-lying areas.

Groundwater ages, recharge conditions and hydrochemical evolution of a barrier island freshwater lens (Spiekeroog, Northern Germany) [PDF]
, 2012 Freshwater lenses below barrier islands are dynamic systems affected by changes in morphodynamic patterns, groundwater recharge and discharge. They are also vulnerable to pollution and overabstraction of groundwater.

Uses of volcanic ash beds in geomorphology [PDF]
, 1967 In geomorphology air-fall volcanic ashes possess high value as marker beds. These have proved particularly useful in studies associated with infilling of flood plains, fan building, terrace correlation and chronology, erosion, shoreline and sea level ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study develops a method to identify the source areas of precipitation events, as illustrated for the western part of the Netherlands. Radar‐based precipitation data are traced back to their source areas and machine‐learning techniques are used to identify hypothesized causes: urban heat, surface roughness, and air pollution. We find that urban and

28 years of vegetation change (1978 – 2006) in a calcareous coastal dune system [PDF]
, 2010 Changes in vegetation structure and composition over a 28 year period (1978–2006) following removal of human-induced disturbances, were examined in a calcareous coastal dune system in Point Nepean National Park (380 19’S, 1440 41’E) in south-eastern ...

Phytogenic mounds (nebkhas): effect of Tricomaria usillo on sand entrapment in central-west of Argentina [PDF]
, 2016 Nebkhas, developed by the trapping of sand within the body of a plant, were studied in the Médanos Grandes system, arid central Argentina, during the springs of 2009-2010.In this system, formed by megadunes and overlapping dunes, nebkhas dynamism was ...

Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (
