Prospecting for Habitable Planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
NASA's Kepler Mission was launched in March 2009 as NASA's first mission capable of finding Earth-size planets orbiting in the habitable zone of Sun-like stars, that range of distances for which liquid water would pool on the surface of a rocky planet ...

Widespread Bomb Fishing in Indo‐Pacific Archipelago Revealed Through Machine Learning Accelerated Passive Acoustic Monitoring

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
AI‐accelerated passive acoustic monitoring reveals extensive bomb fishing within the Spermonde Archipelago, with annual incidents numbering in the thousands. ABSTRACT Bomb fishing is recognised as the most destructive fishing practice that can be performed in our oceans.

Habitable Planets Eclipsing Brown Dwarfs: Strategies for Detection and Characterization

open access: yes, 2013
12 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables, accepted to The Astrophysical Journal (ApJ). v2: additional references {\S}2 par. 1 & end of {\S}6)Given the very close proximity of their habitable zones, brown dwarfs represent high-value targets in the search for nearby ...

From Plot to Block: Participatory Land Use for Climate‐Resilient Detached Housing in Finland

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how urban planning in Finland is adapting to climate change, focusing on the practical challenges planners face in single‐family housing areas. It draws on participatory workshops with municipal planners in Pori and Joensuu, where three planning tools—green factor metrics, impermeable surface limits, and the 3–30‐300 ...

Rainbows, Polarization, and the Search for Habitable Planets

open access: yesAstrobiology, 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.

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Stellar Control on Atmospheric Carbon Chemistry, CO Runaway, and Organic Synthesis on Lifeless Earth-like Planets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The abundances of atmospheric carbon species—carbon dioxide (CO _2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), and methane (CH _4 )—exert fundamental controls on the climate, redox state, and prebiotic environment of terrestrial planets.

The Orbits of terrestrial planets in the habitable zones of known exoplanetary systems

open access: yes, 2003
We show that terrestrial planets could survive in variously restricted regions of the habitable zones of 47 Ursae Majoris, Epsilon Eridani, and Rho Coronae Borealis, but nowhere in the habitable zones of Gliese 876 and Upsilon Andromedae. The first three

The Ethical Dimensions of Climate Change: Rethinking Justice, Responsibility, and Collective Obligation

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the most profound ethical and existential challenges of the 21st century. Beyond its physical, economic, and environmental consequences, it raises fundamental moral questions about justice, equity, responsibility, and the right to a livable planet.

Ocean Tides on Asynchronously Rotating Planets Orbiting Low-mass Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Planets in the liquid-water habitable zone of low-mass stars experience large tidal forces, 10 ^3 –10 ^4 times those on Earth, due to the small distance between the habitable zone and the host stars.
