The Momentum of ‘Developed’: Bodies of Water, Aging Bodies and Malta's Interventions at the UN

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Histories of major powers continue to shape how many scholars conceptualize internationalism. By focusing on Malta's interventions at the UN challenges, this article challenges such narrative. In particular, it examines Arvid Pardo's 1967 petition that the seabed be reconceived and protected as the ‘common heritage of mankind’ and Vincent ...

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Cross-section extraction and model reconstruction of lava tube based on L1-medial skeleton

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Lunar lava tube caves, due to their unique geographical structure and potential as shelters, have repeatedly emerged as prime candidates or priority areas during discussions on lunar base site selection.

Topology‐based Visual Analysis of Hydrothermal Plumes

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydrothermal plumes are turbulent structures of intense heat and mineral smoke that rise and disperse into the deep ocean. Existing models generally characterize these systems as a single axisymmetric plume originating from a point source. However, this assumption breaks down in weakly venting, spatially distributed systems, where low‐flux ...

Construction of Lunar Soil Simulants-Based Aluminum-Ion Battery Systems

Materials
With the development of space technology, in situ resource utilization (ISRU) of lunar resources holds great potential for constructing lunar bases. This study, for the first time, proposes the in situ construction of lunar soil simulants-based battery systems. When novel ilmenite cathode materials are applied in aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs),

Integrated Ground–Air–Space Exploration Technology of Jingpo Lake Lava Tubes

Space: Science & Technology
Lava tubes play an important role in base construction and understanding planetary geological development on extraterrestrial bodies. However, our understanding of lava tube morphology on Earth as a reference for extraterrestrial bodies remains limited ...
