INFRASTRUCTURAL CONCEALMENT: Everyday Festival Economies and Riverine Ecologies in Kolkata

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban infrastructures are often celebrated within marketized development logics for their promise of equitable access while concealing ecological harm. This article examines whether and how ecological degradation is integral to infrastructural modernization, showing how infrastructures that promise improvement and inclusion simultaneously ...

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

DeepZoo: A cost‐effective and modular sampler for ecological studies in the deep ocean

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the structure and dynamics of deep‐ocean communities requires effective sampling of pelagic organisms in near‐bottom waters. These dispersive organisms contribute to biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem recovery. Yet, current sampling methods remain constrained by size, cost, and depth, leaving key questions unanswered in ...

Blind equalization for underwater communications [PDF]

, 2014
Underwater wireless (sensor) networks would vastly improve man's ability to explore and exploit remote aquatic environments. Despite underwater sensor and vehicle technology being relatively mature, underwater communications is still a major challenge. The most challenging characteristics of the underwater acoustic communication channel are its low and
