The Future of Hydrogen‐Powered Aviation: Technologies, Challenges, and a Strategic Roadmap for Sustainable Decarbonization

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Hydrogen‐powered aviation offers a transformative pathway to zero‐emission flight by eliminating in‐flight CO2 emissions. Key considerations include propulsion systems (fuel cells and hydrogen combustion), cryogenic storage and insulation challenges, infrastructure and cost barriers, and supply‐chain constraints.

An approach to modeling abundance of marine wildlife over space and time using unstructured aerial surveys

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
We present an approach for estimating wildlife abundance from unstructured aerial surveys. We combine a spatial model for count data with auxiliary information on detection probability. This framework is intended to be flexible, requiring lower survey costs and less computation time than other alternatives for estimating abundance.
