How Common are Habitable Planets?

, 2000
The Earth is teeming with life, which, occupies a diverse array of environments; other bodies in our Solar System offer fewer, if any, niches which are habitable by life as we know it.

Sentipensar [Feel‐Thinking] Cultivates Collective Scientific Sensemaking and Worldbuilding Within and Beyond Ecological Despair

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Educating youth about environmental and climate justice is crucial in realizing a sustainable and flourishing future. Yet this can be challenging given the intense eco‐emotions youth experience and express while learning about these consequential realities and their implications.

What if we Find Nothing? Bayesian Analysis of the Statistical Information of Null Results in Future Exoplanet Habitability and Biosignature Surveys

The Astronomical Journal
Future telescopes will survey temperate, terrestrial exoplanets to estimate the frequency of habitable ( η _Hab ) or inhabited ( η _Life ) planets.

Habitability of Planets in Binaries

, 2007
A survey of currently known extrasolar planets indicates that close to 20% of their hosting stars are members of binary systems. While the majority of these binaries are wide (i.e., with separations between 250 and 6500 AU), the detection of Jovian-type planets in the three binaries of Gamma Cephei (separation of 18.5 AU), GL 86 (separation of 21 AU ...

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.

Sustainable Cities Under Pressure: Climate Risk, Oil Price Uncertainty, and Technological Innovation in GCC Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the dynamic interactions between climate risk, oil price uncertainty (OPU), and technological innovation in shaping Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to Sustainable Cities and Communities (SCC) across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries from 2005 to 2024. Using a panel Time‐Varying Interactive Fixed Effects (

Assessing Eco‐Efficiency in Municipal Solid Waste Management Integrating Heterogeneity: A Latent Class Stochastic Frontier Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The measurement of eco‐efficiency in the municipal solid waste (MSW) sector has garnered significant attention due to the substantial environmental impacts of unsustainable MSW management and the high operational costs associated with public service provision.

Requirements for Joint Orbital Characterization of Cold Giants and Habitable Worlds with Habitable Worlds Observatory

The Astronomical Journal
We determine optimal requirements for the joint detection of habitable-zone planets and cold giant planets with the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). Analysis of 164 nearby stars shows that a coronagraph outer working angle of 1440 milliarcseconds (mas)

Rainbows, Polarization, and the Search for Habitable Planets

Astrobiology, 2007
Current proposals for the characterization of extrasolar terrestrial planets rest primarily on the use of spectroscopic techniques. While spectroscopy is effective in detecting the gaseous components of a planet's atmosphere, it provides no way of detecting the presence of liquid water, the defining characteristic of a habitable planet.
