Evaluating commonly used tools to quantify human activity for protected area management
Abstract Recreation in protected areas (PAs) is growing worldwide, potentially conflicting with wildlife and ecosystem protection. Efficiently estimating human activity in PAs is crucial for balancing a dual mandate of supporting visitor access and biodiversity, but managers lack clear recommendations about the conditions under which specific tools are

ABSTRACT This work presents a non‐geometrical navigation approach based on a purely topological understanding of underground environments. By conceptualizing subterranean scenarios as a set of tunnels that intersect with each other, and taking a navigation approach based on topological instructions, we simplify the navigation problem to the sequential ...

Wasserstein Regression, Forecasting, and Change‐Point Detection for Daily Traffic Flow Distributions
ABSTRACT We develop a distribution‐valued framework for modeling, forecasting, and monitoring traffic flow counts by treating each day as a probability distribution summarized by jittered empirical quantile signatures. Inference is conducted under the 2‐Wasserstein geometry, which in one dimension is isometric to the L2(0,1)$$ {L}^2\left(0,1\right ...

Abstract Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have proven effective in simulating complex reservoir environments, such as meandering channels and deltas. In classic GANs, the dimensionality of training data determines that of generated data: a 2D (or 3D) reservoir facies simulator (generator) requires training with corresponding 2D (or 3D) data sets.

Reimagining How Flood Warnings Can Inform Decision‐Making and Community Actions
Abstract Society faces increasingly severe flood hazards, intensifying demand for flood early warning systems (FEWS) that deliver accurate and actionable information. However, most existing FEWS remain prediction‐centric, treating decision‐making as a downstream consumer of hazard forecasts while offering limited support for uncertainty interpretation,

Soil Lead Risks Associated With Urbanization Histories in Springfield MA and Hartford CT, USA
Abstract Due to legacy leaded products, soil Pb is generally higher in older urban centers triggering substantial implications for environmental equity. By integrating a gridded soil Pb analysis of about 150 samples each in two historically industrial cities (Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA) with block‐level census data, we tested the hypotheses that (
