How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Anoxia Events in “The Boring Billion”
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 449-486., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Supporting interventions to lessen human–wildlife conflict
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) around protected areas endangers lives and damages livelihoods. It also erodes support for conservation. Yet most mitigation efforts fail to gain the sustained community support needed for long‐term success. We drew on 758 one‐to‐one semi‐structured interviews, supplemented by focus groups, practitioner interviews

Evaluating commonly used tools to quantify human activity for protected area management
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Recreation in protected areas (PAs) is growing worldwide, potentially conflicting with wildlife and ecosystem protection. Efficiently estimating human activity in PAs is crucial for balancing a dual mandate of supporting visitor access and biodiversity, but managers lack clear recommendations about the conditions under which specific tools are

Simulation of control drives in a tower crane [PDF]
, 2011 The design of a control system for a tower crane is investigated. Underlying the controller design is the theory of optimal linear control. Computer models of a crane and the control systems for the crane drives are developed.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

The Impact of Power Training on Balance and Visual Feedback Removal [PDF]
, 2019 Because power training has been known to augment stability, the purpose of this study was to assess whether the removal of visual input affects lower limb muscle power production in young women who are resistance trained to the same degree it affects the
