Operationalizing BioSSbD: A safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework for biorefineries
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Biorefineries are central to the transition toward a circular bioeconomy; however, their increasing scale and technological heterogeneity, and the integration of biological, chemical, and thermochemical processes introduce complex challenges related to safety, sustainability, and operational reliability. Existing Safe‐and‐Sustainable‐by‐Design

Remotely Sensed Fine-Fuel Changes from Wildfire and Prescribed Fire in a Semi-Arid Grassland
, 2021 The spread of flammable invasive grasses, woody plant encroachment, and enhanced aridity have interacted in many grasslands globally to increase wildfire activity and risk to valued assets.

‘Where are the adults?’: Troubling child‐activism and children's political participation
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Children's political participation is a well‐established theme in childhood studies. In this article we offer an original account of child activism that takes into account the entangled and emergent aspect of children as activists. We begin with a historical and a conceptual review, noting the importance of mid‐20th century developments such ...

Activism as a long durée journey: Teachers against the Chilean neoliberal education model
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, I use the idea of purposes of education, particularly subjectification, and the concept of love to explore long‐term teacher activism in Chile. ‘Long‐term activism’ is used to describe an ongoing struggle rather than activism confined to specific moments.

First Approximations of Prescribed Fire Risks Relative to Other Management Techniques Used on Private Lands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Fire is widely recognized as a critical ecological and evolutionary driver that needs to be at the forefront of land management actions if conservation targets are to be met. However, the prevailing view is that prescribed fire is riskier than other land

English teachers' journeys since the 2020 Iteration of Black Lives Matter
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The 2020 resurgence of Black Lives Matter (BLM) mobilised students in England to demand greater representation of racially minoritised voices in English curriculums—a call highlighted by stark inequity: just 1.5% of GCSE texts studied are by racially minoritised authors, despite racially minoritised students comprising 38.0% of the student ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...
