Exploring Recreational Conflict on Shared Backcountry Tramping and Mountain Biking Tracks in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 3, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In a move away from exclusive use by modality, a number of shared tramping and mountain biking tracks have been developed in New Zealand. We ask: On shared tracks, what tensions arise and how are they experienced? Using data from online surveys of track‐users, we examine bikers' and trampers' perspectives and experiences of conflict.

Ruins in the Field: Materiality, Spectres and Pluritemporal Encounters of the Oxford University Arctic Expedition

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 4, December 2026.
Short Abstract This paper contributes to conceptual debates on ruins by generating novel insights into how encounters with the haunted materialities of ruins in the field inform (post)colonial trajectories of exploration. Empirically, it examines how material and spectral traces of past lives in the field, alongside play with categories of absence and ...

Considerations to the Probabilities of Collision of Ships by a Model of Collision Avoiding System

open access: yesThe Journal of Japan Institute of Navigation, 1973
An improved model of a collision avoiding system in the present paper was represented by two parameters called the intensity and the Allowance of Collision Avoiding Maneuvers, of which the practical meanings of ship nandling were discussed. The model was applied to ships navigating through the ten narrow channels in Japan in order to study the ...

Safeguarded Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Environments

open access: yesOptimal Control Applications and Methods, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1543-1555, November/December 2026.
This paper uses a combination of Reinforcement Learning and Funnel Control to train a fast and safe controller for systems operating in changing environments. Furthermore, the presented formulation overcomes former limitations associated with the need for predefined reference trajectories.

Defining High‐Impact AI in Autonomous Shipping: Legal Frameworks, Supply Chain Resilience, and Maritime Safety Dimensions

open access: yesTransportation Journal, Volume 65, Issue 4, Autumn 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid emergence of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) has made the governance of artificial intelligence systems a question of immediate regulatory urgency. The European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act (2024) and the Republic of Korea's AI Framework Act (2025) are the first two horizontal, binding, risk‐tiered AI statutes in ...

Emissions Poised to Rocket: Modeling the Environmental Impacts of Low Earth Orbit Satellite Constellations

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The proliferation of satellite megaconstellations in low Earth orbit represents a significant advancement in global broadband connectivity. However, we urgently need to understand the potential environmental impacts, particularly greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with these constellations.

Shipborne Measurements of Mineral Dust and Black Carbon Aerosols Over the Southern Ocean in the Austral Summer

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric mineral dust and black carbon (BC) aerosols play important roles in the Earth's climate system, yet direct observations over the Southern Ocean (SO) are scarce. In this study, we present the characteristics of airborne water‐insoluble particles (WIPs) collected during a cruise of the R/V Shirase in the Australian and Indian sectors
