Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Crater Observing Bio‐inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA) is a modular, snake‐inspired robot that addresses the mobility challenges of extraterrestrial exploration sites such as Shackleton Crater. Incorporating snake‐like gaits and tumbling locomotion, COBRA navigates both uneven surfaces and steep crater walls.

Quantifying the role of ozone-caused damage to vegetation in the Earth system: a new parameterization scheme for photosynthetic and stomatal responses [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Surface ozone (O3) is the primary air pollutant threatening global vegetation. It typically reduces the photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance, leading to changes in carbon, water, and energy cycles; vegetation structure and composition; and ...

Changes in the carbon balance of tropical forest: evidence from long-term plots [PDF]

, 1998
The role of the world’s forests as a “sink” for atmospheric carbon dioxide is the subject of active debate. Long-term monitoring of plots in mature humid tropical forests concentrated in South America revealed that biomass gain by tree growth exceeded ...

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.

Combined effects of urbanization and climate variability on water and carbon balances in a rice paddy-dominated basin in southern China

Environmental Research Letters
Urbanization is known to elevate storm runoff, but how it influences carbon cycle and ecosystem productivity through altering the evapotranspiration (ET) process is less clear.

An Improved Method for Single Tree Trunk Extraction Based on LiDAR Data

Remote Sensing
Scanning forests with LiDAR is an efficient method for conducting forest resource surveys, including estimating tree diameter at breast height (DBH), canopy height, and segmenting individual trees.

Quantifying slope-channel coupling in an active gully and fan complex at Tarndale, Waipaoa catchment, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2010
Two RIEGL LMS‐Z420i scanner surveys (November 2007 and November 2008) of the Tarndale Gully complex and its associated fan were used to generate a digital elevation model (DEM) of difference in order to quantify gully‐fan‐channel connectivity.

Optimization of pharmaceutical research and development by early‐phase assessment of investigational medicinal products

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Small and mid‐sized pharmaceutical innovators often have limited in‐house health economics and market access expertise, and may struggle to align development strategies of investigational medicinal products with health system needs and payer expectations.

Comparison of multiple satellite-derived products for assessing vegetation productivity and evapotranspiration in Nepal: Toward understanding carbon and water coupling in a mountainous region

Forest Ecosystems
Mountain ecosystems are highly sensitive to climate change, as they regulate carbon–water dynamics that underpin critical ecosystem services. Satellite remote sensing serves as a powerful tool for large-scale monitoring in mountainous regions where ...
