A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Retrieval of atmospheric properties for habitable planets

open access: yes, 2013
An increasing number of potentially habitable terrestrial planets are found. The search for atmospheric signatures of planetary habitability and life might be possible in the future.

The formation of habitable planets in the four-planet system HD 141399 [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
ABSTRACT The presented work investigates the possible formation of terrestrial planets in the habitable zone (HZ) of the exoplanetary system HD 141399. In this system, the HZ is located approximately between the planets c (a  = 0.7 au) and d (a  = 2.1 au).

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Symbolic or Substantive Action: Intent, Effort, and Results

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many firms have made ambitious climate pledges since the Paris Agreement of 2015. These pledges may be symbolic or substantive, but the literature is fragmented in defining these two terms. We propose a conceptual framework with three frames to delineate symbolic from substantive action: Intent—underlying motivations for engaging in climate ...

Predictive Rankings of the Probability of Hosting a Temperate Terrestrial World for the HWO ExEP Mission Star List

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is NASA’s flagship mission design from the 2020 Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics, meant to observe temperate terrestrial planets via direct imaging and use direct spectroscopy of exoplanet reflected ...

Translating Circularity Into Strategy: A Governance Meta‐Capability Framework

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms struggle to transition to circular economy (CE) models, often citing external barriers. Yet some firms succeed, whereas others fail: Why? We argue that success depends on a specific governance capability—a meta‐capability that allows firms to (1) sense and strategically reframe CE imperatives, (2) seize opportunities by aligning diverse ...

Orbit Perturbations to Habitable Zone Planets from Massive Planets at the Snowline Around M Stars and G Stars

open access: yes, 2023
Massive planets may preferentially form just outside the water ice snowline in protoplanetary disks. How these massive planets which form at this location would influence the orbits of Earth mass planets located in the habitable zone of Solar type (G ...

A Decision‐Making Model for Implementing Green Technology in Sustainable Building Projects

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green technology (GT) adoption is pivotal for reconciling environmental stewardship with economic viability in the built environment, particularly in resource‐constrained emerging economies. However, empirical evidence on how specific GT drivers actively mitigate adoption barriers remains scarce.

Exomoons and Exorings with the Habitable Worlds Observatory. II. Finding “Endor” with Lunar Eclipses

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Giant planets in the habitable zone may host exomoons with conditions conducive to life. In this paper, we describe a method by which the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) could detect such moons: broadband reflected-light lunar eclipses (e.g., the moon
