A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The materiality of the white pigment motif at the Cloggs Cave rockshelter, near Buchan in GunaiKurnai Country (southeastern Australia), contains details about the cultural and environmental contexts in which the art was created and preserved. Here, we (1) present physicochemical analyses of the pigment composition; (2) explore implications for

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.
