Significant contribution of internal variability to recent Barents–Kara sea ice loss in winter

Communications Earth & Environment
The Arctic has experienced a rapid sea ice loss in the Barents and Kara Seas in winter over the satellite era. Such sea ice loss has been modulated by anthropogenic forcing and internal variability, but a precise estimate of their relative contribution ...

PyIRoGlass: An open-source, Bayesian MCMC algorithm for fitting baselines to FTIR spectra of basaltic-andesitic glasses

Volcanica
Quantifying volatile concentrations in magmas is critical for understanding magma storage, phase equilibria, and eruption processes. We present PyIRoGlass, an open-source Python package for quantifying concentrations of H2O and CO2 species in the ...

Blind magmatism abets nonvolcanic continental rifting

Communications Earth & Environment
Tectonic forces alone cannot drive rifting in old and thick continental lithosphere. Geodynamic models suggest that thermal weakening is critical for lithospheric extension, yet many active rifts lack volcanism, seeming to preclude this process. We focus

The Multilevel Implications of a Sinn Féin Government in Ireland

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 173-179, January/March 2025.

Amidst (waste) abundance: world‐making and struggles in hosting a municipal landfill in the Bolivian lowlands Au milieu de l'abondance (de déchets) : fabrication du monde et luttes liées à la gestion d'une décharge municipale dans les basses terres de Bolivie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In recent decades, solid waste has proliferated worldwide, becoming a pressing global issue. This article explores the role of Indigenous people dwelling within and upon emerging waste scenarios, with a specific focus on involved forms of sociality and ontological contestation. Drawing on the case of a municipal landfill sited on a Guarani community in

A climate change signal in the tropical Pacific emerges from decadal variability

Nature Communications
The eastern tropical Pacific has defied the global warming trend. There has been a debate about whether this observed trend is forced or natural (i.e., the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation; IPO) and this study shows that there are two patterns, one that ...

The Coloniality of Data: Police Databases and the Rationalization of Surveillance from Colonial Vietnam to the Modern Carceral State

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally‐assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of ...

Determinants of case outcomes in Rwanda's postgenocide gacaca courts

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Transitional justice trials have become a central mechanism for addressing mass violence and human rights violations, yet little is known about the determinants of case outcomes within these courts—particularly in domestic contexts. This study examines Rwanda's gacaca courts, a localized transitional justice system that tried people suspected ...
