EU Space Law and Earth's Boundaries: Integrating Environmental Impact Assessment and Corporate Due Diligence

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union's proposed Space Law aims to establish a unified approach for sustainable space activities across the EU. While the EU's satellite constellations contribute to sustainability efforts, they can also have negative environmental impacts.

On the politics of movement: Borderscapes, choreopolicing and choreopolitics

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract The paper introduces choreography as a novel tool of analysis for investigating how movement shapes and is shaped by the apparatus of territorial security. It examines how dance choreography can intervene in security imperatives and enact embodied transgression.

Numerical and Experimental Analyses of the Effect of Water Injection on Combustion of Mg-Based Hydroreactive Fuels

open access: yesAerospace
The energy release process of the Mg-based hydroreactive fuels directly affects the performance of water ramjet engines, and the burning rate is one of the key parameters of the Mg-based hydroreactive fuels.

Left to Live and Die: Resource Security and the Biopolitics of Land Stockpiling in China

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 57, Issue 6, Page 2103-2123, November 2025.
Abstract Beginning in 2007, the Chinese state used liberalising policy and funding to encourage the expansion of large‐scale grain farming. Despite this support, many of the new farms have struggled financially and folded. Drawing on Foucauldian biopolitics and resource security literature, I argue that, with modernised agriculture, the state primarily

The Impact of Intracloud Negative Branches on Continuing Current in Negative Cloud‐to‐Ground Lightning

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 17, 16 September 2025.
Abstract Continuing current (CC) in cloud‐to‐ground (CG) lightning plays a critical role, particularly in wildfire ignition, yet CC's mechanism remains an open question. This study analyzes six CG flashes captured by the high‐speed camera at Beijing and Lhasa, which reveal the propagation of intracloud negative leaders before and after each return ...
