The effect of compliance assistance on pollution discharges and violations of environmental regulations

open access: yesJournal of Policy Analysis and Management, Volume 45, Issue 3, Summer 2026.
Abstract Researchers and policymakers assert competing behavioral models of polluters. One model portrays polluters as best approximated by the perfectly informed, rational actor from economics textbooks. Another model portrays polluters, particularly small and medium facilities, as imperfectly informed, cognitively bounded, pro‐social actors.

Comparison of Conventional, Rake, and Sonar‐Based Biophysical Habitat Measurements in a Shallow Ontario River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1011-1021, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of habitat availability is critically important for the management and recovery of freshwater species. Quantifying habitat availability often requires fine‐scale sampling at point‐based locations across a large geographic extent, which can be laboursome.

A Tool for Prioritizing Gravel Augmentation Reaches for Sediment Starved Rivers

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1069-1082, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gravel augmentation is a widely used restoration technique used to improve habitat below dams, including salmonids spawning habitat. However, gravel augmentation can be cost‐prohibitive, and it is often unclear which stream segments have the highest potential to benefit spawning salmonids.

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 368-387, June 2026.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Evaluating Cotton‐Based Cropping Systems Under Climate Change Using Crop Modelling

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a major challenge to crop production in semi‐arid regions, where limited water availability is a critical constraint. Understanding how climate change influences crop productivity is essential for developing practical adaptation and mitigation strategies.
