Discovery and Fine‐Scale Mapping of Hadal Xenophyophore Habitat in the Nova Canton Trough, Central Pacific Ocean

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Discovery and fine‐scale mapping of a hadal xenophyophore field: submersible video transects and photogrammetry enable semi‐automated delineation of xenophyophores, revealing their abundance, spatial organisation, structural complexity and contribution to habitat heterogeneity at ~8000 m depth.

What Do We Mean When We Say Epistemic Agency? How Considering Multiple Facets of Epistemic Cognition Can Clarify a Murky Theoretical Construct

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Opening space for students to help shape knowledge building practices in the classroom—that is, epistemic agency—is necessary to achieve a variety of goals held by the science education community. As such, many scholars have explored how students might be positioned with, perceive, and take up epistemic agency.

How ventures maintain stakeholder support amidst operational legitimacy threats

open access: yesStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary We explore how ventures mitigate operational legitimacy threats—threats that originate within the venture and challenge claims relating to the venture's ability to deliver on its promised value proposition. Through an inductive study of four ventures working to deliver their promised products following successful crowdfunding ...

Plate Tectonics by Jerks

open access: yes, 2018
Anyone living around the Pacific Ocean will be familiar with plate tectonics by jerks. That is, periods of quiescence when nothing much seems to be happening, punctuated by very large, frequently fatal, and so far unpredictable, earth movements on a time

Post‐earthquake field assessment and damage correlation of elevated reinforced concrete water tanks in Kahramanmaras/Elbistan, Türkiye

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...

The Big Picture: Religion and Global Comparative History

open access: yesJournal of Religious History, EarlyView.
This article considers what a ‘big picture’ approach to global religious history might look like, and in particular the implications of deploying the comparative method across much larger stretches of time and space than historians normally attend to. It will begin by reflecting on the epistemological moods that have hindered this project to date, the ...

Did plate tectonic changes lead to the emergence of hominid bipedalism?

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Archaeology
When early hominids began walking upright around 6 Ma, their evolutionary course took a sharp turn. The new posture enabled physical and mental developments that had not been possible before.
