Design and Testing of a Minimal Configuration Underwater Micro‐Glider: Automating Lake and Reservoir Monitoring

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) have transformed oceanographic research through autonomous data gathering. Similarly, lake and other aquatic research can potentially be automated and transformed. However, UUVs would need to be smaller, lighter, less complex, and cheaper than currently available to make them more practical and user‐friendly

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Interrelationships Among Stakeholder‐Perceived Factors Influencing Solar PV Adoption in Passive Houses in New Zealand

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The adoption of solar photovoltaic systems (SPVS) in passive houses (PHs) is shaped by technical, economic and policy‐related factors. Yet, the interactions among these factors have not been quantitatively modelled in the New Zealand context.
