Aesthetic values as relational values: Environmental aesthetics in go‐along interviews

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Aesthetic values are often categorised as a type of relational values, yet their shared characteristics with other relational values remain largely unexplored. To address this gap, we turn to Emily Brady's theory of environmental aesthetics; her interpretation of aesthetic value exhibits important parallels with the concept of relational ...

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

The Need for Fundamental Photovoltaics Research to Ensure Energy Security

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
The center of this graphic focuses on the core of this paper—that fundamental research is central to the continued development of the photovoltaic (PV) industry. To the left, we have depictions of what is being studied—PV materials, PV cell structures, and PV module structures.

Bi-class classification of humpback whale sound units against complex background noise with Deep Convolution Neural Network

, 2017
Automatically detecting sound units of humpback whales in complex time-varying background noises is a current challenge for scientists. In this paper, we explore the applicability of Convolution Neural Network (CNN) method for this task.

A Novel Crawling Robot Based on the Hexagonal Mesh Structure and Enhanced PID Control Strategy

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The locomotion of crawling robots is similar to that of caterpillars, relying on foot adhesion and body contraction to ensure flexible movement without compromising stability. However, most existing pneumatic soft crawling robots are incapable of simultaneously achieving forward, backward, turning, and climbing capabilities.

Whale-watching and Herring Fishing: Joint or Independent Production? [PDF]

The effects of "localized depletion" of a pelagic fishery (herring) on a non-extractive marine activity (tourism) are investigated. Proponents of the localized depletion theory claim that intense fishing effort can lead to areas that are unsuitable for ...

Semi‐automated seal detection on the Western Antarctic Peninsula: an unsupervised machine learning approach for detecting ice seals in aerial survey data

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a semi‐automated, rule‐based image analysis pipeline to detect ice seals in aerial surveys of the Western Antarctic Peninsula during an unusually low sea ice year. By using simple hierarchical clustering instead of deep learning, the method substantially reduced human annotation effort while achieving 82% recall, identifying 758 ...

Population changes in a Southern Ocean krill predator point towards regional Antarctic sea ice declines

Scientific Reports
While foraging, marine predators integrate information about the environment often across wide-ranging oceanic foraging grounds and reflect these in population parameters.
