Quantifying urban climate response to large-scale forcing modified by local boundary layer effects
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceOver the past two decades, the joint manifestation of global warming and rapid urbanization has significantly increased the occurrence of heatwaves and the formation of urban heat islands in temperate cities.

Forest Ecology and Management, 2012 Good density estimates for low abundance tree species are costly to achieve especially in rugged or disturbed forest landscapes. More efficient methods would be of considerable value to managers and conservationists. Here we assess a method that has been neglected in this context.

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Algorithmic platforms are reshaping how people work and how human activity is rendered intelligible within data‐intensive systems. This paper argues that Heidegger's philosophy of technology, specifically Ge‐stell (enframing) and Poiesis (bringing‐forth), offers information science a conceptual vocabulary for understanding both algorithmic ...

Physics-Driven Trajectory Backtracking Method for Drifting Buoys Based on Uncertainty Quantification
水下无人系统学报High-precision trajectory backtracking technology for drifting buoys is urgently needed for maritime search and rescue and pollution source tracing, yet traditional Lagrangian models exhibit significant errors in complex marine environments.

Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...
