Dynamic Wave Trains: A Procedural Approach to Spatially Varying Ocean Synthesis
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.In this paper, we present a high performance procedural model capable of synthesizing and rendering a virtually infinite ocean. Our method exhibits spatial variations as the orientations, speed and choppiness of the waves is parametrized for each frequencies and each point in space. The provided visual abstract exhibits a sunset rendering of a large 40

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Rewilding is often summarized with the three C's of Carnivores, Cores and Corridors. In this essay we propose a complementary perspective that focuses on the three B's of Bovines, Buffers and Barriers. This complementary perspective draws attention to rewilding as a social (rather than only ecological) challenge and is illustrated with insights from ...
