Climate‐Driven Mangrove Dieback and Recovery: A Case Study in Albert and Leichhardt Rivers, Australia

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

Lunar Rickshaw – A non-Motorized Vehicle Designed for Exploration and Rescue Missions on the Moon’s South Pole [PDF]

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin
We have designed a simple, lightweight vehicle concept—a Lunar Rickshaw (LR)—engineered to rapidly and safely transport an incapacitated astronaut from a remote location to the Lunar Module (LM).

Galileo reveals new lunar features

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1991
Exciting new images of the Moon taken by the Jupiter‐bound Galileo spacecraft December 8 and 9 promise to expand understanding of lunar geology. Galileo viewed the Moon from a new perspective, showing for the first time, through spectral techniques, the mineralogical composition of the lunar crust on the far side.

Recent Tectonic Deformation of the Lunar Farside Mare and South Pole–Aitken Basin

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The timing and scale of lunar tectonism provide a crucial insight into the geologic evolution of Earth’s Moon. Within the nearside lunar maria, wrinkle ridges formed during and after the emplacement of the mare basalts as a result of subsidence-induced ...

Lunar volcanic feature catalog for Dawn [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Except for a number of low-resolution full-globe images obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope the surface of Vesta remains largely unknown. New image data from NASA’s Dawn mission that will arrive at asteroid Vesta in July 2011 for a 9 month systematic mapping phase to investigate Vesta’s geology [1].

Vine Tendril‐Inspired Cold‐Programmable Shape‐Memory Polymer Composites Using Sugar Beet Pulp

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Vine tendrils inspire a bio‐derived, cold‐programmable shape‐memory polymer composite (SMPC). Magnetically guided sugar beet pulp creates mesoscale heterogeneity within a glassy matrix, producing built‐in mechanical asymmetry for rapid, solvent‐free programming by simple stretching.
