Open space preservation in an urbanization context [PDF]
Journal of Regional Science, 2019 AbstractThe objective of this paper is to address the question of open space preservation in an urbanization context. We study the possibility of preserving two different types of open spaces, namely, large open spaces at cities’ outskirts and small intraurban open spaces.

Passive Color Imaging Through Macroscopic Strong Scattering Media
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Light reflected from distant targets is severely attenuated and scattered by dense fog. A color‐channel‐simulated, independently exposed sCMOS array (CISA), combined with a passive colorful de‐scattering pipeline (PCDP), captures and reconstructs extremely weak target signals.

A Taste for Trips out of Town: Urban Sprawl and Access to Open Space [PDF]
Residential development at the urban fringe raises the cost of trips to open space. We derive a simple expression for the tax that internalizes this effect of sprawl in a monocentric city andapply it using survey data on recreational activity.
