Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract There is rising recognition of resource‐use rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) within wildlife conservation. Historically, sociocultural institutions ensured wildlife sustainability in many IPLC areas. However, the future viability of such institutions is uncertain as IPLCs change in response to external pressures and ...

Model‐Based Systems Engineering in Space Applications: A Comprehensive Literature Review
Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The growing complexity of space engineering is driving the demand to embrace the adoption of Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Although the MBSE is well‐practiced in the space industry, the level of effort and need required to obtain the benefits of MBSE vastly differ across enterprises; this disparity presents a significant challenge to
