Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Drones and computer vision offer an efficient way to estimate animal populations over localized areas, but surveys often require stitching many overlapping images together. If animals move during the survey, traditional orthomosaic‐based counting methods become unreliable, with some animals appearing in multiple locations while others appear not at all,

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Monitoring programs of vulnerable megafauna increasingly rely on aerial surveys from drones or planes fitted with cameras. However, automated methods are still lacking to accurately count individuals across entire surveys. Here, we leverage a tracking‐by‐detection framework to not only detect individuals but also link the resulting detections across ...

Coral reef detection using ICESat-2 and machine learning
Ecological InformaticsAs anthropogenic impacts threaten natural habitats, effective monitoring strategies are crucial. Coral reefs, among the most vulnerable ecosystems, traditionally employ monitoring techniques that are labor-intensive and costly, prompting the exploration ...

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This systematic review examines stakeholder roles in managing biodiversity within renewable‐energy projects across the MENA region, a highly climate‐vulnerable region yet pursuing rapid energy transition toward achieving SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). The focus is on regulatory bodies and sector companies as primary actors.
