A Multi-Robot Coverage Path Planning Method for Maritime Search and Rescue Using Multiple AUVs

Remote Sensing, 2022
In this study, we focus on the Multi-robot Coverage Path Planning (MCPP) problem for maritime Search And Rescue (SAR) missions using a multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) system, with the ultimate purpose of efficiently and accurately ...

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Leaders' Functional Specialization and Responses to Institutional Shifts during Crises: Evidence from the Pandemic

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Prior studies on crisis management often highlight the adaptiveness of generalist leaders, whose diverse functional experiences allow for flexible and innovative responses. However, we propose that in situations where crises lead to abrupt shifts in dominant institutional pressures, leaders with specialized functional backgrounds potentially ...

A Data‐Driven Review of Geoscience Research Evolution Using SciBERT‐Based Topic and Network Analysis

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 4, October 2026.
This review synthesises the evolution of global geoscience research from 2004 to 2023 using large‐scale bibliometric evidence. By combining keyword co‐occurrence network analysis with SciBERT‐based topic modelling, it identifies major paradigm transitions from geology‐centred research to climate‐focused studies and recent data‐ and AI‐driven ...

Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1050-1061, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).

Deterrence, Development, and Denial: Securitising Climate‐Induced Mobility in the European Union

Contemporary European Politics, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate‐induced mobility poses a mounting governance challenge for the European Union (EU), where climate action, migration control, and security policy intersect in uneven and contested ways. While EU discourse frequently frames climate change as a “threat multiplier,” migration governance remains anchored in deterrence logics, producing a ...
