Modeling Wind‐Driven Waves on Other Planets: Applications to Mars, Titan, and Exoplanets
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, -Not available-.Abstract Waves could exist on any planet with sustained winds and stable surface liquids. However, differences in atmospheres, liquids, and gravity confound efforts to extend Earth‐based empirical wave models to other planetary environments. We adapted a physics‐based numerical wave model to study how planetary conditions affect the growth of waves. We

From agnosis to accidental activism: Infinite regress and the Post Office Scandal
Journal of Law and Society, Volume 53, Issue S1, Page S25-S41, April 2026.Abstract This paper explores the lived experiences of victims/survivors affected by the UK Post Office Scandal, drawing on 28 in‐depth interviews and critical legal analysis. It uses the concept of ‘accidental activism’ to explore how victims, initially isolated and disempowered, became central agents of justice reform.

A computational model for retinal haemodynamics under gravitational and postural variations
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 7, Page 2698-2716, 1 April 2026.Abstract figure legend The haemodynamic impact of gravitational and postural changes on the retina, and its relevance to spaceflight associated neuro‐ocular syndrome (SANS), remains incompletely characterized. This study assesses retinal haemodynamics from upright to head‐down tilt using a lumped‐parameter model that dynamically couples intraocular ...
