Geospatial Data Analysis for Global Maritime Risk Assessment Using the Discrete Global Grid System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The effective management of the safety of navigation by coastguards is challenged by the complexity in quantifying and describing the relative risk of accidents occurrence.

Internal Structure, Kinematics, and Prehistory of Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A), Brooks Range, Alaska

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 645-667, October/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A)—one of hundreds of FDLs in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska—is a slow‐moving landslide in permafrost that has been the subject of research since 2008 due to its close proximity to the Dalton Highway. Here, we synthesize more than a decade's worth of climate and surface measurements of monitored FDLs, and the ...

Shallow Landslides Align With Atmospheric Rivers in Coastal Steeplands

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Rapid, shallow landslides in coastal mountains are triggered by extreme precipitation, shaping topography and impacting human settlements. Using an inventory of >700 landslides mapped from satellite imagery (2009–2024) and an atmospheric river database (1981–2019), this study documents linkages between climatic drivers and the topographic ...

Frailty Scores and Ethical Decision‐Making in Critical Care: Lessons From the COVID‐19 Pandemic

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Frailty scores should support, not replace, individualized critical care decisions, as the COVID‐19 pandemic exposed the ethical limitations of rigid frailty‐based triage, particularly among older adults and individuals with chronic disability. Meaningful recovery may occur despite severe illness, reinforcing the importance of patient autonomy,

Resolution Adaptive Vector Rasterization in Discrete Global Grid Systems

open access: yes, 2022
Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) are relatively new globe-based digital earth systems capable of integrating large geospatial datasets. In this report, we describe a new algorithm for rasterizing vector data to DGGS that relies on the hierarchical ...

Modeling and Expression of Vector Data in the Hexagonal Discrete Global Grid System [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2013
The Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) is a new type of global spatial data model and is the extension of the plane grid on a sphere. The hexagon is usually used in the construction of DGGS for its advantageous geometric structure.

The Evolving Role of 21st Century Municipal Financial Advisors

open access: yesPublic Budgeting &Finance, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 3-26, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT We describe the evolution of the market for municipal financial advice since the year 2000 and present new empirical facts. Using SEC municipal advisor filings, we show that the number of operating advisors has decreased over time. We document that withdrawals—either exits, reorganizations, or mergers—are concentrated among smaller firms and ...

Marine Heatwaves Overwhelm the Buffering Benefits of Marine Protected Areas: Two Decades of Collapse in a Mediterranean Gorgonian

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Two decades of monitoring across the north‐western Mediterranean reveal a 45% regional biomass loss of the foundation gorgonian Paramuricea clavata, driven by increasingly frequent marine heatwaves. Protection sustained higher biomass but could not halt decline, underscoring the urgent need to pair conservation with climate action to preserve red ...

Soda Ash Free Batches for Novel Container Glass Compositions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, July 2026.
A series of novel glass compositions incorporating up to 50% recycled cullet is melted from batches free of soda ash. Their viscosity–temperature, liquidus, and electrical conductivity characteristics are comparable to conventional soda–lime—silica glasses, enabling processing in conventional installations while markedly reducing batch‐to‐melt ...

Modelling Offset Regions around Static and Mobile Locations on a Discrete Global Grid System: An IoT Case Study

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020
With the huge volume of location-based point data being generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices and subsequent rising interest from the Digital Earth community, a need has emerged for spatial operations that are compatible with Digital Earth ...
