Acoustic–Visual Sensor Fusion for Robot Localization in Buried Pipes

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous, untethered robots require robust localization algorithms to perform tasks such as inspection and monitoring in buried pipes. This task is challenging due to environmental constraints, such as the absence of a global positioning system underground and limited visual perception.

The Myth of Decarbonized Oil: Technological Fixes, Climate Delay, and the Politics of Low‐Carbon Fossil Fuels

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The idea of “decarbonized oil” has become increasingly visible in climate, energy, and corporate transition debates as oil and gas actors seek to reconcile continued fossil fuel production with net‐zero commitments. This article offers a critical narrative review of the concept, asking what political work the idea of decarbonized oil performs ...

The Global Forestation Network: Orchestrating the Financing and Development of Tree Planting Programs

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the ‘global forestation network’ (GFN)—an arrangement of actors that shape afforestation, reforestation, and forest restoration activities worldwide. These activities typically involve planting trees, and are motivated by supporting biodiversity, local communities, and climate change mitigation. At the GFN's core sit the ‘
