Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pesticide use is expanding rapidly across sub‐Saharan Africa, while regulatory oversight and public protection structures remain weak, leaving smallholder farmers exposed to mounting health and environmental risks. In response, agrochemical industry actors have launched ‘safe use’ initiatives that emphasize training and personal protective ...

Schizophrenic molecules and materials with multiple personalities - how materials science could revolutionise how we do chemical sensing [PDF]
, 2009 Molecular photoswitches like spiropyrans derivatives offer exciting possibilities for the development of analytical platforms incorporating photo-responsive materials for functions such as light-activated guest uptake and release and optical reporting on

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Vulcanian eruptions are classically associated with the launch of ballistic ejecta and particularly with the production of breadcrust bombs. Morpho‐textural analysis of these ejecta provides critical insight into the poorly constrained processes controlling the complex dynamics of Vulcanian activity.

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 7, September 2026.ABSTRACT Integrated earth modelling aims to combine all available geoscientific information to derive one common earth model. However, combining multiple parameters in a meaningful way remains challenging. In this study, we aim to improve mineral exploration workflows through the integration of new magnetotelluric data with other geophysical and ...

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 480-493, September 2026.ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Evaluating Fire Indices for Fire Ignition and Spread Rate in the Western United States
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Wildfires are complex events that are challenging to model. Researchers and land managers often rely on fire indices as a proxy of fire risk in operational forecasts and future projections. However, in the scientific literature, the choice of which fire index to use is often arbitrary and not tied to specific fire behaviors. Here, we provide a

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Caldera systems commonly experience inner resurgence, which shapes patterns of volcanic activity. However, incomplete reconstructions of past ground deformation can lead to incorrect recognition of precursory signals. The Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) provides an exceptional opportunity to address this issue as uplifted marine sediments ...

Application of palynological data to the chronology of the Palaeogene lava fields of the British Province: implications for magmatic stratigraphy [PDF]
, 1997 New high-precision ages, determined from palynomorph assemblages within intercalated sedimentary deposits, are presented for the Palaeogene lava fields (Skye, Mull and Antrim) of the British Province. These data reveal very rapid averaged eruption rates (

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract An audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) survey was conducted within the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province, southeastern Brazil, to delineate shallow occurrences of kamafugite, a rare ultrapotassic volcanic rock worldwide. A dense grid of AMT stations was deployed, allowing the construction of a high‐resolution 3D electrical resistivity model ...
