Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Drivers of metabolic density‐dependence: how resource availability and conspecific cues affect phytoplankton metabolism

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Metabolism is density‐dependent from unicellular to multicellular organisms. Understanding what drives metabolic suppression is important to explain population growth given the link between metabolism and biomass production. In the simplest scenario, metabolic suppression is caused by a reduction in resource availability with increasing population ...

Digital fire technologies and community networks: Cultivating just sociotechnical practices for living with planetary change

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

Compatibilization of Thermoplastic Starch and Poly (Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) Blends Using a Dual‐Coupling Strategy

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Development of TPSA‐PBSA bio‐based polymer blends using a dual‐coupling strategy based on tartaric acid (TA) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP), followed by structural, thermal, rheological, and mechanical characterization toward sustainable flexible packaging applications. ABSTRACT This study analyzed the effect of employing coupling agents in the development

Modeled Subsidence of Permafrost Terrain 2025–2050: North‐Central Alaska

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A large fraction of the Alaska terrain is underlain by regolith that contains excess ice (ice that in volume exceeds the natural pore space). Possible loss of excess ice would lead to ground subsidence, which in turn would disturb and destabilize the ground surface.

Depositional and Hydrological Relationships Between Buried Dead Ice and the Active Layer in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica: A Study of Sediment Geochemistry and Cation Concentrations

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.
