Terrain Classification for Planetary Rovers Using Wireless In‐Wheel Sensor Modules and Machine Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Safe and reliable mobility over different kinds of ground is important for planetary rovers on space missions. Since terrain changes might affect the mobility of the rover, energy consumption, and safety, detecting the type of ground in real‐time is vital.

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 ...

Centering Care in Transformative Climate Change Education: A Theoretical Framework for Communal Learning Ecosystems

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research‐practice partnerships addressing climate change education face challenges navigating political resistance, epistemic tensions, and systemic inequities within schools and communities. Recent scholarship has outlined transformative climate change education (TCCE) as requiring the simultaneous transformation of curricula, pedagogies, and

Decentralized Common Knowledge Oracles

Ledger, 2019
We define and analyze three mechanisms for getting common knowledge, a posteriori truths about the world, onto a blockchain in a decentralized setting. We show that, when a reasonable economic condition is met, these mechanisms are individually rational,
