Civil Society Advocacy and Climate Change in Kenya: The Question of “Local Voices” and Their “Amplification”

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in addressing climate change is acknowledged, but engagement with questions of voice remains limited, especially in the Global South. Addressing this, this paper zooms in on (International) nongovernmental organizations ((I)NGOs) and their collaborations with domestic CSOs in the Global South on ...

The Role of Trade Unions in Environmental Governance: Exploring Workers Legitimacy Judgments

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trade unions are increasingly expected to play a role in sustainability transitions, but their legitimacy as environmental governance actors remains underexplored. Our study uses a multidimensional framework to examine how workers, both union members and non‐members, evaluate trade union legitimacy “from below.” This framework distinguishes ...

Techno‐Economic Assessment of Large‐Scale Renewable Energy Systems: A Case Study in the Gulf Cooperation Council

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A consistent 3 GW hybrid solar–wind configuration was assessed across five GCC locations, revealing substantial regional differences in energy yield and economic performance. Saudi Arabia and Oman achieved the highest generation and lowest LCOE, while the systems delivered substantial CO2 emission reductions across the region.

Assessment of Automated Snow Cover Detection at High Solar Zenith Angles with PROBA-V

Remote Sensing, 2016
Changes in the snow cover extent are both a cause and a consequence of climate change. Optical remote sensing with heliosynchronous satellites currently provides snow cover data at high spatial resolution with daily revisiting time.

Performance Degradation of Common Photovoltaic Module Temperature Models From a Lowland Site to a Highland Site in Western China

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Four PV module temperature models (Ross, Faiman, PVsyst, and SAPM) in pvlib systematically underestimate module temperature, particularly in high‐altitude environments. Site‐specific recalibration substantially reduces model bias, while the limited transferability of empirical coefficients highlights the need for locally adapted parameterization in ...

Reliably flattened radar backscatter for wet snow mapping from wide-swath sensors

, 2013
Retrieval of wet snow extent with high temporal resolution over large areas that include topography requires use of wide swath SAR and radiometric terrain correction to enable backscatter comparisons across different orbital tracks. We report on springtime wet snow mapping using a time series of Envisat ASAR wide swath (WS) images covering the Swiss ...

Thermochronologic Constraints on the Extensional History of the Ibex Hills, Southeastern Black Mountains, Death Valley, California

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
A. Modeled T‐t paths for samples in the northern Ibex Hills, showing steady cooling throughout much of the Cenozoic, until rapid Miocene cooling. B. Weighted mean paths for each sample in this study. Note that all show a rapid cooling event at or just after 10 Ma, which is interpreted to represent exhumation as a result of regional extenstion ...
