Renewable Resource Curse Hypothesis: Could Renewable Resources Foster Sustainable Development?

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores whether the resource curse hypothesis applies to renewable energy by introducing a novel metric of renewable resource rent. Using a panel dataset of 46 countries (2010–2022), we define renewable rent as the product of electricity generation and the gap between industrial electricity price and levelized cost (LCOE).

Scale‐aware impact modelling for atmospheric releases of radioactive material

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
Since the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in 2011, the UK has developed the process of Joint Agency Modelling (JAM), which provides advice to government in case of atmospheric releases of radioactive material. The timely deployment of JAM requires a prior estimate of the extent to which impacts could reach. Thus, to develop a fast pre‐calculator

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Response of Remote Tropical West Pacific Islands to Climate Variability: A Multiproxy Record From T‐Lake, Palau, Spanning the Early Holocene to Present

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.

Resisting Hubris: For A Stoic Ethics of Power in Leadership Development

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay advances a philosophical and Stoic reinterpretation of hubris that challenges the reductionist treatment it has received in contemporary management research. Whereas most studies, shaped by a positivist epistemology, have sought to quantify the effects of leader hubris on performance, this essay reclaims the concept's original ...

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.
