Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Making the Case for Studying Business Law: A Teaching Note Providing a First Week Blueprint for First‐Time Instructors

Journal of Legal Studies Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Most business students are not interested in becoming lawyers. Therefore, business law and legal environment instructors must convey why students should study business law. To assist instructors (especially first‐time ones), this teaching note presents interrelated pedagogical questions to introduce the first week of class.

Dusty Streets: The Challenge of Dust‐Borne Pollutants in Low‐Income Countries

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 2, February 2026.
Generally, pollution impacts developed and low‐income countries (LICs) to different extents, and the disease burden due to roadway dust is not uniformly distributed across socio‐economic classes. Roadway dust materials from paved and unpaved urban and rural roads were reported to contain organic constituents which are toxic and affect public health ...

Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 779-789, 30 January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the existing research gap concerning the lack of integrated data on the role of in situ soil components in the long‐term fixation of 137Cs under natural, protected, and non‐agricultural conditions. The contamination of ecosystems by radioactive isotopes, particularly 137Cs, represents a considerable environmental hazard ...

Radiocesium concentrations in the lichen-reindeer/caribou food chain: Before and after Chernobyl

Rangifer, 1986
This paper reviews historical concentrations of radiocesium (Cs-137) in the reindeer/caribou food chain in Alaska. These data, along with available kinetic models which describe the movement of radiocesium through the food chain, are used to predict ...
