Visioning ecologically diverse and harmonious futures of Korea in Good Anthropocene

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a buffer between North and South Korea, holds profound historical, cultural and ecological significance, as well as exceptional potential for conservation and transformation. This study explores ecologically diverse and peaceful futures for the Korean Peninsula by envisioning the DMZ as a landscape for ...

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Machine‐learning approaches for characterizing the raindrop size distributions in Western Pacific tropical cyclones

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Long‐term disdrometer observations are utilized to derive Z–R relationships for ‐the Western Pacific tropical cyclones. A hybrid moment‐based approach is employed to determine the interrelationships among pairs of gamma distribution parameters. Enhanced estimates of rainfall rate and slope parameter are obtained using machine‐learning techniques ...

Does vertical wind shear increase tropical cyclone rain?

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A 26‐year modern precipitation dataset is used to systematically assess tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall responses to vertical wind shear (VWS). VWS enhances rainfall volume in TCs by up to 23%, despite reducing storm intensity, revealing a trade‐off where VWS mitigates wind damage but potentially amplifies flood risk.

Analysis of land use in landslide affected areas along the Łososina Dolna Commune, the Outer Carpathians, Poland

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2017
Land use of landslides is still a poorly investigated problem. Landslides cannot be regarded as areas unsuitable for use since they occupy a significantly large surface.

Improving forest age estimation to understand subtropical forest regrowth dynamics using deep learning image segmentation of time‐series historical aerial photographs

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurately estimating forest age is key to understanding how forests recover and evaluating restoration success. We developed a two‐step deep learning approach using historical greyscale aerial photographs to map forest age at fine spatial scales. By combining a pre‐trained model with localized fine‐tuning, our U‐Net + ResNet50 architecture achieved ...

Education in a Changing Climate: A Systematic Review for Low and Middle‐Income Countries (LMICs)

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major global challenge that affects many aspects of human life and hinders progress on the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One area that has not received enough attention is its impact on children's education in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), which are especially vulnerable to ...

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition
