A robust method for mapping refugial capacity in montane forests
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We developed a refugial capacity analysis to guide management strategies to protect montane forests that will be relatively buffered from disturbances. Through sensitivity analyses, we found that our approach was robust to uncertainty in thresholds and climate forecasts, consistently identifying refugia across the landscape in similar locations and ...

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Numerical modeling has been widely used to assess the feasibility of geothermal energy development at sites across the world, but modeling applications simulating the potential impacts on shallow hydrothermal resources and surface water are relatively scarce. In this study, we apply the MODFLOW 6 groundwater energy (GWE) code to simulate fully

Expansion of invasive carabids across elevation and habitats on sub‐Antarctic South Georgia
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Two introduced carabid species have continued to expand their ranges on the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia over the past 10–15 years. The species have colonised inland valleys and are present across habitats but are more abundant in those with high vegetation cover. N‐mixture models revealed the optimal sampling method, intensity and habitat for

Intrastate Truck Driver Pay and Safety: A Longitudinal Analysis
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Truck drivers, their employers, and the public bear the costs of large truck crashes. Prior research finds that truck drivers tend to have fewer crashes when they are paid more, yet much of the U.S. industry operates with low pay and high turnover.
