Enhanced Monocular Depth Estimation Using ResNet Backbone and Multiscale Feature Decoding for Precise Object Distance Measurement

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
A lightweight monocular perception framework generates high‐fidelity depth maps and integrates YOLOv8 detection to estimate object‐wise distances from a single RGB image. Evaluated on KITTI and the proposed D‐Far250 dataset, the system demonstrates accurate long‐range perception up to 250 m while maintaining real‐time performance, enabling scalable ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1735-1759, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Increasing artificial light at night enhances salmonid predator foraging efficiency in an urbanized lake

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) poses a threat to ecosystems globally. It includes both direct and indirect light, or skyglow, which occurs when ALAN scatters in the atmosphere, extending beyond its original source. We analyzed ALAN trends in Lake Washington, WA, from 2014 to 2023 using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS ...

Structure–Property Relationships of Atmospheric Water Harvesting for Water‐Carbon‐Energy Sustainability

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review discusses the integration of advanced characterization, computational modeling, and multifunctional atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) systems for sustainable water‐energy‐carbon solutions. These methods reveal structure‐property relationships, guiding next‐generation hygroscopic material design.

Lunar Trailblazer Spacecraft Tracking and Mission Recovery Attempt: Characterization of Status and Behavior of a Non‐Cooperative Object in Cis‐Lunar Space

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Unexpectedly following launch, the Lunar Trailblazer mission experienced software anomalies that led it to orient solar panels away from the sun and lose communication with Earth. This paper describes efforts to determine the spacecraft state and attempt recovery of the mission's science at the Moon.

Geometry‐Dependent Surface Lambertian‐Equivalent Reflectivity (GLER) Climatology for the TEMPO Mission

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We describe a Geometry‐dependent surface Lambertian‐Equivalent Reflectivity (GLER) climatology developed to support operational retrievals for the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) mission. This data set provides monthly and hourly surface reflectance for snow‐free land, snow‐covered land, and oceanic regions.

Reconstructing Europa's Atmosphere From H2+ ${\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{2}}^{+}$ Pickup Ions Detected During the Juno PJ45 Flyby

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We use a suite of single‐species (H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$) and multispecies (H2+O2+H+O ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}+{\mathrm{O}}_{2}+\mathrm{H}+\mathrm{O}$) Direct Simulation Monte Carlo models of Europa's atmosphere to interpret the H2+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}^{+}$ pickup ions detected by Juno at distances beyond 2 $2$ Europa radii RE $\left({R}_{E}\right ...

Ground‐Based Solar Radio Observations From the Mexican e‐Callisto Stations During the May 2024 Extreme Space Weather Events

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The period from 1 to 14 May 2024 was marked by some of the most intense solar activity of Solar Cycle 25, including multiple X‐class flares, fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and diverse solar radio emissions. We present observations from the Mexican e‐Callisto network (REC‐Mx), including long‐duration continuum emissions (CTMs), Type II ...
