Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

A Systematic Review of Participatory Science Approaches in K–12 Ecological Monitoring

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Participatory science has emerged as a vital educational approach for engaging K–12 learners in authentic scientific inquiry while generating data for ecological monitoring. This systematic review synthesizes 72 empirical studies published between 2006 and 2025 that involved K–12 students in ecological monitoring projects.

Bridge Clogging by Loose Sediment in Mountain Streams: A Practical, Physics‐Based Numerical Approach for Use in Hazard Mapping

Journal of Flood Risk Management
The clogging of bridges by loose sediments is a phenomenon that has so far been little studied in the literature but plays a decisive role in determining the spatial distribution of hazards in mountainous areas affected by these events.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Carbon Emissions From Low‐Order Streams in a Tropical, High‐Elevation, Peatland Ecosystem Are Mediated by Catchment Morphology

Water Resources Research
Inland waters emit large amounts of carbon and are key players in the global carbon budget. Particularly high rates of carbon emissions have been reported in streams draining mountains, tropical regions, and peatlands.

From Prediction to Prevention: An Explainable GeoAI Framework for Flood Susceptibility and Urban Exposure Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning Models

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation and intensifying rainfall have increased cities' vulnerability to flooding, posing major challenges to sustainable development. Although machine learning models have improved flood prediction accuracy, most remain limited by their black‐box nature and lack of actionable insights.

Stream temperature modeling in mountainous environments

, 2016
Stream temperature is one of the key variables affecting the habitat suitability of numerous aquatic species. Over the past decades, research efforts on this topic have concentrated on low-land rivers of North-America, whereas mountainous environments have received much less attention - above all in Europe.

Toward a Sustainability Standard for Cultural Organizations: Borrowing From Tourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultural organizations are increasingly engaging with sustainability, yet they lack a sector‐specific standard to guide and institutionalize efforts as long‐term strategies. This study reviews research papers on sustainability standards in the tourism sector, a field with greater experience with such tools, and horizontally borrows insights ...
