Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pingos and related permafrost mounds are widespread periglacial landforms in Arctic environments that are ice‐rich on the one hand and contain taliks on the other, making them vulnerable to climate change. So far, the interior, geophysical characteristics, and distribution of ground ice within these dome‐ or cone‐shaped features have not been ...

Peatland restoration can provide a climate benefit under all timescales: a case study with The Wildlife Trusts [PDF]
Degraded peatland is a major source of land-related greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, making peatland restoration an essential part of achieving net-zero.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the most profound ethical and existential challenges of the 21st century. Beyond its physical, economic, and environmental consequences, it raises fundamental moral questions about justice, equity, responsibility, and the right to a livable planet.

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Secure Enough? Sufficiency and Security in the New Geological and Geopolitical Reality
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article advances sufficiency theorizing by examining its relationship with security in the contemporary geopolitical context. It engages three contextually situated discourses: sustainable development, ecological civilization, and degrowth, to explore how concerns over ecological limits intersect with emerging geopolitical and security ...

People and NaturePeatland restoration through rewetting is a pivotal solution to counteract the climate crisis. Since many peatlands with the potential for rewetting are farmland, rewetting can only be achieved in collaboration with peatland farmers. However, the discord

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.We present an AI‐assisted ground‐penetrating radar framework to noninvasively detect and quantify smoldering wildfire‐induced subsurface cavities in peatlands. A ResNet model accurately predicts cavity geometry from GPR images, enabling improved assessment of underground fire damage and hazards.
