On‐Demand Deployment of Edge Cloud Infrastructures for Federated Learning

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1377-1388, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Federated learning on the edge allows the use of more computing capacity and more complex training models while providing higher accuracy and bandwidth savings. However, the deployment and management of edge cloud infrastructures is still challenging due to its highly distributed nature.

A framework for long‐term environmental monitoring using living plant collections in botanic gardens: A global review and case study from Trinity College Botanic Garden

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 954-968, July 2025.
Botanic gardens play a crucial role in addressing global environmental challenges by providing a unique setting for long‐term plant studies and engaging the public in climate change awareness. Our review highlights the underuse of these gardens' living collections for monitoring climate impacts, revealing significant gaps in data and phylogenetic ...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Forest‐to‐Bog Restoration on Carbon Sequestration, Water Chemistry, and Biodiversity in Irish and British Peatlands

open access: yesWIREs Climate Change, Volume 16, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
A forest‐to‐bog restoration site in Co. Fermanagh, N. Ireland, 4 years after clear‐felling, conifer removal, and cell bunding (surface bunds joined to form watertight cells to retain shallow water and minimize edge effects), shows accelerated Sphagnum growth—exemplifying restoring degraded peatland toward near‐natural conditions—that is, minimally ...

Terraformation

open access: yes, 2017
This paper introduces my real-time notation (RTN) work Terraformation (2016-17) for violin or viola and computer. The piece uses a computer screen to display music notation that changes during the performance based on decisions made by both the musician and the computer. In this way, every performance is unique and unrepeatable.

The Monster ‘Within’: Capitalist Urbanization as Geometabolic Escalation

open access: yesDevelopment and Change, Volume 56, Issue 4-5, Page 668-728, July-September 2025.
ABSTRACT This article challenges prevailing approaches to urban sustainability by reconceptualizing capitalist urbanization as a planetary process of geometabolic escalation. Hegemonic visions of sustainable cities render invisible the non‐city sociometabolic preconditions and consequences of urban life under capitalism.

Microbially Terraforming Mars

open access: yes, 2022
Terraforming Mars begins with altering the physical and chemical composition of Mars to allow other organisms to survive. Increasing the temperature, the availability of liquid water, higher atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen concentrations, and large-scale physical changes are all essential to terraforming Mars. Extremophilic microorganisms that are able
