Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Coverage Formation Control of Multi-Rover System for Large-Scale Planetary Exploration Under Localization Uncertainty Based on Guaranteed Voronoi and Belief Space Planning

Information
This work addresses coverage formation control for the Multi-Rover System (MRS) in extraplanetary environments such as Mars or the Moon, where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are unavailable and uncertain self-localization significantly

From foraging to decomposition: Large vertebrates as biotic drivers of trace element cycling across landscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We highlight an overlooked pathway in ecosystem functioning: the role of animal carcass decomposition in trace element cycling. By linking animal life cycles to landscape‐scale processes, we explain how large animals redistribute scarce elements and influence spatial heterogeneity, with implications for ecosystem functioning and restoration.

On multi-objective optimization of planetary exploration rovers applied to ExoMars-type rovers [PDF]

, 2011
ExoMars is the first robotic mission of the Aurora program of the European Space Agency (EAS). Surface mobility (as provided by ExoMarks rover) is one of the enabling technologies necessary for future exploration missions.

When Thriving for More Collapses the System: The Academic Reproduction of Uncaring Structures

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay argues that the widening gap between aspirational aims and visionary orientations and the prevailing practices in neoliberal academia stems from deeper, historically rooted, market‐based logics shaping our institutions, increasingly governed by economic values and academic subjectivities therein.

Space Robotics: Robotic Rovers for Planetary Exploration

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2008
In this third of three short papers, I introduce some of the basic concepts of planetary rovers with an emphasis on some specific challenging areas of research that are peculiar to planetary robotics and not usually associated with terrestrial mobile ...

Development Environment for Optimized Locomotion System of Planetary Rovers [PDF]

, 2011
This paper addresses the first steps that have been undergone to set up the development environement w.r.t optimization and to modelling and simulation of overall dynamics of the rover driving behaviour under all critical surface terrains, like soft and ...

Teaching for Wonder: Pedagogical Openings for Epistemic Change in the Climate Crisis

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The accelerating climate crisis demands profound changes in how management learning and education prepares students to engage with uncertainty and ecological interdependence. While recent scholarship calls for epistemic transformation in business schools, there is limited understanding of how pedagogy might cultivate the orientations required ...

QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF A NOVEL SUPER-RESOLUTION RESTORATION TECHNIQUE USING HiRISE WITH NAVCAM IMAGES: HOW MUCH RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT IS POSSIBLE FROM REPEAT-PASS OBSERVATIONS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Higher spatial resolution imaging data is always desirable to the international community of planetary scientists interested in improving understanding of surface formation processes. We have previously developed a novel Super-resolution restoration (SRR)
