Observations and numerical simulations of a valley‐exit wind in the Alpine Bolzano basin

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The evolution and spreading of the nocturnal valley‐exit wind flowing from the Isarco Valley into the Bolzano basin, in the Italian Alps, are found to be influenced by the basin temperature stratification. Measurements and high‐resolution simulations show that a cold‐air pool favors an upward trajectory of the flow at the exit of the valley.

Promoting Climate‐Friendly Behaviour Under Cognitive and Coordination Constraints: A Multi‐Level Framework for Sustainable Development Governance

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite widespread concern about climate change, climate‐friendly behaviour remains difficult to sustain in practice. This article argues that the core challenge lies less in insufficient motivation than in the cognitive and coordination demands imposed by prevailing decision environments.

Value in the ‘valley of the shadow of death’—When the user is no longer the value arbiter

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract The Public Service Logic (PSL) user‐centric perspective on value creation has been one of its main critiques. Scholars argue that for some real‐world applications, such as emergency services, where users cannot engage with service offerings, the PSL must consider the roles of other service actors beyond just facilitators.
