Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the 1990s, environmental policy has shifted toward ecosystem protection and biodiversity conservation, a development often described as an ecological turn. This article argues that in practice this turn has taken the form of an ecological “U‐turn,” as environmental ambitions are subordinated to production‐oriented objectives.

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.
