Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (

Investigating the Environmental Impact of Additive Construction: A Systematic Analysis of the Life Cycle Assessment Studies

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been identified as a potential catalyst for a paradigm shift within the construction industry, due to its capacity to enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and augment design flexibility. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) that explores the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

open access: yesEconomic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.

Enhancing durability of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts using SCMs: A comparative study with delithiated beta spodumene

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steam curing is commonly used to manufacture precast culverts to accelerate early strength development. This study investigates the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the permeability properties of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts.

Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI)‐powered design framework for lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance composites (SH‐UHPC)

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance concrete composite (SH‐UHPC) is an outstanding alternative for engineering applications and infrastructure thanks to its outstanding strength, toughness, ductility, and low density. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI)‐based modeling strategies into engineering problems can ...

Influence of mix design method on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams made with high‐quality recycled coarse aggregate

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the shear capacity behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups incorporating recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). An extensive database comprising 269 experimental data points from 40 journal articles published between 2001 and 2025 was compiled, excluding specimens with recycled fine aggregate or fiber ...

Cold‐curing effects on the strength development and sulfuric acid resistance of basalt fiber‐reinforced hybrid alkali‐activated slag mortars

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Cold weather conditions impose substantial constraints upon the performance and long‐term resilience of concrete materials. Alkali‐activated slag (AAS) presents itself as a promising substitute, exhibiting sustained hydraulic activity even when exposed to ambient conditions characterized by low temperatures.

Durability performance of a high‐performance fiber‐reinforced concrete for bridge applications

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates the durability performance of a coarse‐aggregate high‐performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (HPFRC) developed as a cost‐efficient material solution for precast bridge applications. A comprehensive experimental program was conducted to assess the resistance of the material to the principal deterioration mechanisms ...
