Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Pollution havens versus gates of hell: Environmental pollution and multinationals' foreign investment

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This study investigates an under‐explored cost of operating in pollution havens: the pollution‐induced operational cost, or the increased labor costs and material supply constraints resulting from host countries' environmental pollution.

Assessment of Soiling Dynamics and Cleaning Efficiency for Photovoltaic Modules Under Different Dust Environments

Solar RRL, EarlyView.
A laboratory framework reproduces site‐specific soiling and cleaning dynamics of photovoltaic modules using real dusts from contrasting climates. Accelerated humidity–temperature cycling replicates 1 month of outdoor cementation in only ≈ 1.5 days.

Measuring Strategic, Tactical, Complex and Simple Changes to Farm Systems

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture is under increasing pressure to redesign farm systems. Governments are increasingly seeking to halt or reverse the damaging effects of agriculture on the environment. Adapting to climate change requires reconfiguring farm systems to withstand more variable, and historically more extreme, seasonal conditions and the constant demand ...

CORR‐DATA: A database of corrosion parameters measured on existing reinforced concrete structures for enhanced structural assessment

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The corrosion of reinforcing bars embedded in concrete strongly compromises structural performance over time. However, its detection and quantification remain challenging due to limited comprehensive knowledge of natural corrosion patterns in existing structures.
