The Early Upper Palaeolithic open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg, Germany, in the context of the northern central European Aurignacian

Boreas, EarlyView.
Our knowledge of the Early Upper Palaeolithic occupation in northern central Europe is very limited, and recent research at the open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg in Hesse, Germany, provides important new information on the Aurignacian. The site is rather small (26.5 m2) and spatial analysis identified a central hearth with two associated ...

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

‘I like to dance with the flowers!’: Exploring the possibilities for biodiverse futures in an urban forest school

Children &Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores the ways in which ‘forest school’, an educational approach where children engage in creative and play based activities in a ‘natural’ environment, can contribute towards Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) by promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and by helping address biodiversity loss. Drawing on data

Altered photoperiod affects behaviour in a key fish grazer, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study is to address experimentally the immediate impacts of an alteration of the photoperiod, simulating an extreme artificial light pollution, on the behaviour and stress of a key grazer fish common in temperate coastal ecosystems in Europe, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada.
