Estimation of Excess Ice and Thaw Settlement in Frozen Soil Using Industrial Computed Tomography

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost thaw can induce terrain instabilities and hazards as a result of the loss of excess ice from host sediments. The loss of excess ice threatens the integrity of infrastructure and drives ecosystem changes across northern landscapes. This study tests a nondestructive approach to estimate excess ice and potential thaw settlement using ...

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.

Resilience through diversity: The potential of modelling species and variety interactions to enhance resilience of production systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural production systems in the global North combine monocultures of specialised varieties and breeds with external interventions and inputs. Increasing the diversity of varieties, breeds and species may increase the system's resilience to external pressures through beneficial interactions.

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...
