The characteristics of squall lines in the Southeast Asia region
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Squall lines over the Maritime Continent were analysed using 20 years of IMERG GPM data and classified into four regional clusters. Significant regional differences were found in their size, intensity, lifespan, and propagation. Nighttime squall lines are primarily driven by the convergence of opposing offshore flows and the convergence of monsoonal ...

Robotics‐assisted acoustic surveys could deliver reliable, landscape‐level biodiversity insights
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Deploying and maintaining sensors is often a major bottleneck in collecting rapid biodiversity data. We tested whether autonomous hopping drones equipped with acoustic recorders could collect reliable biodiversity data in Costa Rica. Using 26,000+ hours of existing audio from 341 sites, with machine learning detections of 19 bird species and spider ...

Linking Sustainable Development Goals and Climate Action in the Oil and Gas Value Chain
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study develops and tests a value‐chain framework to examine how climate‐related Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) commitments translate into governance actions, capability enhancements, and measurable reductions in total greenhouse gas emissions. We create a climate‐related SDG index encompassing SDGs 7, 8, 9, 12, and 13 and analyze data

A Method for Assessing the Risks to Sustainability Posed by Process Operations
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present a framework for assessing the risks to sustainability posed by any given set of processes. The objective is to improve sustainability by enabling better decision‐making in policy and business contexts. The framework can be applied to any system of processes where available information supports discovery and quantification of ...

Can Happiness Be Sustainable? Monitoring Global Consumption Footprints From 2015 to 2024
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how happiness relates to resource consumption requires considering not only domestic environmental impacts but also the broader transnational effects embedded in global trade. To address this gap, this study introduces the Consumption Footprint–Happiness Ratio (CHR), a visual analytic metric that captures the intensity of ...
