Shies Protest: Blocking Moscow's Waste to Defend Northern Russia's Environment

Area, Volume 58, Issue 3, September 2026.
Short Abstract The Shies protest in Russia demonstrates how grassroots mobilisation can reshape extractivist projects by halting the construction of a massive landfill planned for Moscow's waste. From 2018 to 2020, local residents and environmental activists used blockades, protest camps and legal action to oppose ecological damage and governance ...

Exploratory Data Analysis of Volunteered Geographic Information: case study in the Manuela Sáenz administrative zone of Quito

Latin-American Journal of Computing, 2018
Technological development during the first decade of this century provoked a boom of user-generated, web-shared media. In geography, such trend is called Volunteered Geographic Information; OpenStreetMap (OSM) is its most famed project.

OpenStreetMap, the Wikipedia Map

REGION, 2014
This paper presents OpenStreetMap and closely related software as a resource for spatial economic research. The paper demonstrates how information can be extracted from OpenStreetMap, how it can be used as a geographical interface in web-based communication, and illustrates the value of the tools by use of a specific application, the WU campus GIS.

Modelling Spatial and Temporal Controls on Leaky Wooden Dam Effectiveness for Catchment‐Scale Flood Mitigation in an Upland Catchment

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural Flood Management (NFM) is increasingly adopted as a sustainable strategy for mitigating flood risk. Among these measures, the installation of leaky wooden dams (LWDs) at catchment scale is a widely used intervention aimed at slowing flow and desynchronising runoff peaks between sub‐catchments, thereby reducing flood magnitude.

A Machine Learning Framework for Assessing Systemic Societal Vulnerability to Coastal Flooding

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Vulnerability indices are increasingly used to understand why coastal urban communities experience differential flood impacts. However, they are criticised for subjective indicator selection, weighting and aggregation, which rely on researcher judgement and rarely integrate uncertainty.

Comparative evaluation of the attractiveness of new polyethylene screens versus West African tiny target for the control of tsetse flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 489-497, September 2026.
The material has no significant difference in captures (non‐shiny cotton‐polyester screens vs. the shiny polyethylene screens), but the vertical screen attracted significantly more G. tachinoides for each type of material. Full white horizontal screen was significantly lower than the reference WATT.

Carbon Emissions From Different Functional Zones of Construction Land in the Yellow River Basin Based on Nighttime Light Data and POI Data

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10387-10404, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Yellow River Basin is a critical region for ecological conservation and sustainable development in China. It also serves as a core area for carbon emissions across various functional zones of construction land. Accurately understanding carbon emissions from various types of construction land in the Yellow River Basin is crucial for China ...

Non‐Native Rodents Dominate Understory Frugivory in the Eastern Caribbean Islands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We investigated how non‐native mammals have disrupted frugivory by using artificial fruits and camera traps to measure native and non‐native frugivory interactions on 13 islands in the eastern Caribbean. We found that non‐native Rattus sp. were responsible for nearly 80% of all frugivorous activity and that increased non‐native mammal activity was ...
