Digitization connects scattered specimens and enables new historical research: Plants from the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition (1881–1884)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Widespread museum digitization initiatives have made the world's herbaria more accessible than ever, launching a renaissance of specimen use. We highlight the value of digitization to bolster both scientific and historical research using the specimens from the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition (1881–1884) to the Canadian arctic, remembered for its tragedy ...

Digitisation as archival intermediary: Quantifying and qualifying Greta B. Stevenson's mycological collector networks

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Mass digitisation of natural science collections and archives has increasingly become a priority for scientific heritage institutions. Here, we explore the potential of mass digitisation to improve our understanding of the nature and history of scientific collaboration. Focusing on mycologist Greta B.

All‐sky assimilation impacts of the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder constellation on global weather forecasts

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Key Findings: An assimilation methodology is established for the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder (TMS) flying on CubeSats in sun‐synchronous and inclined orbits, and in all cloud scenes. The TMS has a significant impact on weather forecast lead times up to 3 days in the Tropics in a research‐quality numerical weather prediction setting, and yields water ...

Assessing the role of urban blue space in summer outdoor thermal regulation in northwestern Europe: A hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting modelling on idealized urban landscape

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting simulations, we examine how urban blue spaces mitigate extreme summer heat in northwestern European cities through neighbourhood‐scale cooling mechanisms. Results show horizontal advection dominates cooling by mixing cooler air from waterbodies with warmer urban air, providing ∼50W·m−2$$ \sim 50\kern0 ...

Fair and Equitable Land Access (FELA) by Development Projects: Enhancing Governance for Sustainable Development Outcomes When Projects Displace People

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Displacing people to make way for development projects is contentious. Empirical research demonstrates that neither human rights guidelines nor multilateral lenders' standards guarantee positive, sustainable outcomes for displaced people. With multiple new displacing projects proposed globally, including for renewable energy, we propose a new ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

LamelODF: a MATLAB‐based toolbox for orientation distribution analysis and mapping of lamellar minerals for laboratory and synchrotron X‐ray diffractometers

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
LamelODF is a MATLAB‐based toolbox aimed at simplifying the automated extraction of orientation distribution functions from 2D X‐ray diffraction data of lamellar minerals in transmission mode. It accommodates both laboratory and synchrotron data formats, providing an integrated pipeline from raw data to spatially resolved textural maps, enabling robust
