From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

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

Forensic Hydraulic Analysis of Floodplain Connectivity Driven by Historical Beaver Dams in Colorado Headwater Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Semi‐automated seal detection on the Western Antarctic Peninsula: an unsupervised machine learning approach for detecting ice seals in aerial survey data

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a semi‐automated, rule‐based image analysis pipeline to detect ice seals in aerial surveys of the Western Antarctic Peninsula during an unusually low sea ice year. By using simple hierarchical clustering instead of deep learning, the method substantially reduced human annotation effort while achieving 82% recall, identifying 758 ...

Identification of initial vegetation and habitat changes in small temperate fens using remote sensing

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.

Achieve Sustainability by Easing Population to 4 Billion by 2200

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The past century of massive increases in human population and resource use has seen many undesirable environmental effects, ranging from biodiversity loss to climate change. But a research gap exists, as the ultimate causes are often not described with precision or mentioned at all.
