Terrain Classification for Planetary Rovers Using Wireless In‐Wheel Sensor Modules and Machine Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Safe and reliable mobility over different kinds of ground is important for planetary rovers on space missions. Since terrain changes might affect the mobility of the rover, energy consumption, and safety, detecting the type of ground in real‐time is vital.

ORCHESTRATING DIFFERENCE AND SIMILARITY: Black Fungibility, and the Spatial Redrawing of Racial Categories in Spanish Colonial Morocco, Sahara and Guinea

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I dissect the spatial strategies through which the Spanish attempted to orchestrate both racial difference and similarity in the African colonies of Morocco, Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea during the first half of the twentieth century.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a Mediterranean coastal area: implications for dune conservation in a long‐term ecological research eLTER site

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...

A field experiment on the use of biogeotextiles for the conservation of sand-dunes of the Baltic coast in Lithuania

Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2012
Extreme damage was caused by wave and wind erosion on sand dunes on the Baltic coast near Palanga in Lithuania. Waves breached a wide ‘corridor’ or ‘blowout’ through the coastal sand dune. A progressively widening breached blowout developed.

Improving Very High Plastic Clays with the Combined Effect of Sand, Lime, and Polypropylene Fibers

Applied Sciences, 2022
Improving the mechanical properties of low-strength soils (e.g., high plasticity clays) is one of the main branches of geotechnical engineering. The adoption of stabilization techniques for ensuring that structures will be founded on an adequately strong

An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.

Luminescence analysis of a postglacial landscape in northeastern Norway and northern Finland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Portable optically stimulated luminescence (pOSL) analysis allows rapid relative dating of sediments that potentially can be calibrated against known OSL ages to provide an age estimate for landforms across a large area. This study uses 186 pOSL measurements and 20 OSL ages to investigate the postglacial landscape evolution inside the Younger Dryas ...

Drastic peatland regime shift and landscape disturbances connected to warm and cold climate events over the past centuries in subarctic Finland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palaeoecological studies reporting long‐term development histories of subarctic fens—explicitly, orohemiarctic peatlands—are scarce, and overall, permafrost‐free peatlands located in the immediate vicinity of permafrost zones have received little attention in Fennoscandia. Here, we use a multiproxy approach to study the millennial‐scale dynamics of two
