Devil and angel shifts in collective action: A call for integration and improvements

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 1014-1044, November 2025.
Abstract Devil and Angel Shifts are commonly applied concepts in policy research. Using the two concepts in related but different theoretical frameworks – the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) – provokes potential challenges of cross‐theoretical dialogue, the establishment of methodological best practices, and ...

Socio-environmental risk zones for fracking development: a spatialized multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for the Burgos Basin, Mexico

Environmental Research Communications
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking , has experienced exponential growth, mainly in the United States due to the development of the shale gas energy market.

Plastics in dermatology: A review and solutions

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 1715-1724, October 2025.
This review explores the environmental and health impacts of plastics, particularly microplastics in dermatological products. It discusses the plastic life cycle, routes of exposure, health risks and provides science‐based recommendations to reduce plastic use in dermatology.

Experimental Study on the Effect of Supercritical CO2 on Mechanical Properties and Fracture Characteristics of Longmaxi Shale

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2023
Conventional hydraulic fracturing techniques typically consume large amounts of water when producing shale gas. Fracking fluids may cause environmental pollution. In contrast, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) (above 31.8°C, 7.29 MPa) can displace CH4

Exploring the Effects of Hydraulic Fracturing on the 2019 Mw 5.0 Weiyuan Earthquake in Sichuan, China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The seismicity inside the Sichuan Basin in southwest China has been dramatically intensified with the increase of shale gas exploitation recently. On 8 September 2019, an MW 5.0 earthquake struck Weiyuan County in the Sichuan Basin, representing the largest earthquake in the Weiyuan shale gas field.

Hashtagging Politics: Transnational Anti-Fracking Movement Twitter Practices

Social Media + Society, 2015
I examine a 2-week window into an environmental movement trying to gain traction in the public sphere, centered on a transnational day of action calling for a ban on the drilling technology, high-volume hydraulic fracturing, the Global Frackdown. Twitter

Monitoring Fracture Hydromechanical Evolution in the Lab and Field Using Unsupervised Metric Learning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Fractures evolve in time through thermal‐hydraulic‐mechanical‐chemical (THMC) processes that alter their long‐range hydraulic transport properties and modify subsurface behavior and activities. The location of subsurface fractures makes it necessary to use remote sensing techniques such as passive or active seismic monitoring for fracture ...

Initial evaluation of high‐pressure ceramic nanofiltration for dissolved organic carbon isolation from surface waters across the land‐to‐ocean continuum

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 562-577, August 2025.
Marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is one of the largest reservoirs of fixed carbon on Earth, and its cycling contributes to ocean productivity and carbon storage. Despite its central role, efforts to characterize DOC reactivity and cycling in aquatic systems have been hampered by low recovery during isolation.
