Disaster Schooling Experiences and Emergent Crises: Lessons From Puerto Rico

open access: yesAnthropology &Education Quarterly, Volume 57, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the disaster schooling experiences of Puerto Rican educators, families, and students across multiple crises following Hurricane Maria. Drawing on 11 months of ethnographic research, we analyze how schooling unfolded across disasters and how long‐standing vulnerabilities and structural inequalities shaped responses. Findings

TOA und Rückfallrisikoreduzierung:eine Einschätzung zur Verzerrungdurch Selbstselektion

open access: yesTOA-magazin, 2020
Die Rückfallquote spielt eine zentrale Rolle in der Forschung zu Restorative Justice (RJ). Ein Grund dafür ist der zunehmende Einsatz von RJ innerhalb der Strafjustiz. Für Regierungen und Gesellschaften ist es wichtig, ihre Reaktionen auf Kriminalität so auszurichten, dass Rückfälligkeit reduziert und somit die öffentliche Sicherheit verbessert wird ...

Significance of Size‐Dependent Hygroscopicity Parameterization for Aerosol‐Cloud Interactions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Aerosol‐cloud interactions (aerosol indirect effects) are the most significant source of uncertainties in the effective radiative forcing (ERF) due to aerosols which can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Uncertainties in the indirect effect can result from systematic uncertainties in aerosol water uptake (hygroscopicity).

Contributions to TOA-based location with wlan

open access: yes, 2023
Location techniques that satisfy the requirements of advanced Location-Based Services (LBS) in environments where GPS fails are needed, therefore accurate indoor positioning is becoming increasingly important. This PhD Thesis is devoted to the research on location of mobile devices employing WLAN (IEEE 802.11). The use of this kind of wireless networks

Unveiling the Shortwave Absorption Spectra of Alumina Aerosols: Radiative Implications for Solar Radiation Modification

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Alumina is proposed for Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI)‐based solar radiation modification due to its presumed ability to scatter sunlight strongly while absorbing weakly. Alumina is assigned negligible solar shortwave absorption in climate models; this assumption is not validated owing to technological challenges in quantifying its weak

Improved Representation of Surface Emissivity Effects on Longwave Radiation in a Coupled Earth System Model

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Many Earth System Models (ESMs) approximate surface emissivity as constant over all wavelengths (broadband). This approximation misrepresents the spectral distribution of longwave (LW) flux and introduces error in the LW atmospheric heating rate.

A GEO‐LEO Imager Data Set for Characterizing Rapid Changes of Global Aerosol Properties

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Aerosols, the ubiquitous small particulates in our atmosphere, have climate, air quality, and/or other impacts far from their original sources. The Dark Target Algorithm (DTA), originally developed for retrieving aerosol properties from satellite imagers in Low‐Earth Orbit (LEO), has been ported to imagers in Geostationary (GEO) orbit. Using a

Global Sensitivity Analysis of Leaf-Canopy-Atmosphere RTMs: Implications for Biophysical Variables Retrieval from Top-of-Atmosphere Radiance Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Knowledge of key variables driving the top of the atmosphere (TOA) radiance over a vegetated surface is an important step to derive biophysical variables from TOA radiance data, e.g., as observed by an optical satellite.

A New Lidar‐Based Observational Estimate for a Short‐Term Longwave High‐Cloud Feedback

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract High clouds play a substantial role in modulating the Earth's top‐of‐atmosphere radiative energy budget. Models project that changes in high‐cloud altitude and area in response to warming will have a net warming effect within the tropics. Yet, to our knowledge, a robust global observational constraint of a short‐term cloud feedback associated ...
