Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms
Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,

Multi‐Objective Optimization of a Hydro‐Economic Model in an Over‐Allocated Agricultural Basin
Abstract Groundwater depletion for agricultural irrigation poses significant environmental and economic challenges. This study introduces a proof‐of‐concept that combines hydro‐economic modeling, scenario‐based modeling, and multi‐objective optimization to manage pumping curtailment in an over‐allocated basin in the western United States.

Expansion of invasive carabids across elevation and habitats on sub‐Antarctic South Georgia
Two introduced carabid species have continued to expand their ranges on the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia over the past 10–15 years. The species have colonised inland valleys and are present across habitats but are more abundant in those with high vegetation cover. N‐mixture models revealed the optimal sampling method, intensity and habitat for
