Linear System Identification and Control of a Low‐Cost High‐Performance Omnidirectional Marine Surface Vehicle for Swarming Applications

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine operations traditionally rely on human intervention, a costly and disruptive method. Autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) offer a powerful alternative, capable of operating autonomously, for extended periods, and with various sensors for various missions.

UAV‐Based Precision Seed Dropping for Automated Reforestation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires and deforestation pose significant threats to forest ecosystems, motivating scalable methods for reforestation beyond labor‐intensive cultivation of native forest seedlings in nurseries. To enable large‐scale direct seeding of native species, this paper presents the design, analysis, and field evaluation of a UAV‐based seed‐dropping ...

Linking Flow Regime Metrics to Spawning Migration Behavior of Threatened Green Sturgeon: Implications for Water Management in Regulated Rivers

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flow regime alteration is among the most pervasive threats to freshwater ecosystems globally, and migratory species are particularly vulnerable to these impacts. Despite this, specific aspects of flow regimes that shape spawning migrations remain poorly understood for most threatened species.

A Tracking‐By‐Detection Framework to Automatically Count Rare and Elusive Megafauna in Aerial Video Surveys

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring programs of vulnerable megafauna increasingly rely on aerial surveys from drones or planes fitted with cameras. However, automated methods are still lacking to accurately count individuals across entire surveys. Here, we leverage a tracking‐by‐detection framework to not only detect individuals but also link the resulting detections across ...

One Size Does Not Fit All—Ignoring Spatial Variation in Occupancy and Detectability Underestimates the Required Number of Camera Trap Sites

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap occupancy studies often rely on simple rules of thumb that assume constant occupancy and detection across sites. Using simulations, we show that accurate occupancy estimates require 10–40 sites with no spatial variation, 20–120 with simple variation and 40–600 with complex spatial structures.

Integrated assessment of meteorological drought impacts on terrestrial water storage and vegetation dynamics in East Africa

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract Water is essential for life, and effective hydrological management is crucial for economic stability and quality of life. Poor water resource governance can lead to scarcity, displacement, or even fatal consequences. Hydrological conditions in East Africa are influenced by drivers such as demographic expansion, industrialization, droughts, and
