How Robust is Eschrichtius robustus? A Novel Photographic Index of Body Condition From Boat‐Based Photographs of Gray Whales

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Although the eastern North Pacific gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) population has recovered from population declines associated with whaling, they are closely monitored, especially in association with Unusual Mortality Events. Metrics to improve assessment of the health of individual animals, when averaged, are valuable to inform monitoring

Impacts of Space Weather‐Induced Satellite Navigation Errors on UAV Collision Risk: An Estimation for Parallel and Crossing Routes

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Satellite navigation systems are vulnerable to space weather disturbances, which can degrade positioning accuracy and potentially increase the collision risk of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This study investigates the influence of navigation errors caused by ionospheric scintillation on UAV encounter scenarios. Two route configurations are
