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, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 8018-8057, October 2026.
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.

Potential for Expanding Sorghum Production in Europe in the Face of Climate Change

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Today, sorghum is a minor crop in Europe cultivated on only ∼0.1% of the cropland area. Nonetheless, sorghum is of growing interest due to its high heat tolerance compared to other crops and better adaptation to future hot and dry summers. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of expanding sorghum cultivation in Europe under current ...
