Increasing urban flash flood risk attributable to both climate and development
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.A new event impact attribution methodology that combines convection‐permitting climate model data with flood inundation modelling was used for a five‐hour flash‐flooding event in the suburbs of Leeds in 2014. The results show increased urban flood extent due to both climate change (+16%) and increased urbanisation (+29%).

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over the past decades, science education research has extensively examined the role of metaphors in teaching and learning science. However, much of the existing research has focused on verbal manifestations of metaphors, thereby overlooking aspects of metaphors that may occur in non‐verbal form. This study reconceptualises metaphors as dynamic

Nuclei Measurements with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The exact behavior of nuclei fluxes in cosmic rays and how they relate to each other is important for understanding the production, acceleration and propagation mechanisms of charged cosmic rays.

100 Years of Element Zero: Andreas von Antropoff's Neutronium and the Naming of the Neutron
Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.Congratulations to the 100th Anniversary of the publication of Andreas von Antropoff's element 0, “–“! This contribution provides a historical account of the concept of element zero and the naming of the neutron. The concept of element zero is 100 years old, having a first documented appearance in a 1926 publication by Andreas von Antropoff, while the ...
