From disorientation to preparedness: Information practices as scaffolding in acute crises
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.Abstract This qualitative study examines how adults in Israel enacted information practices during an acute national crisis. Using the information transitions framework, we investigate how concrete practices emerge and evolve across three stages: understanding, negotiating, and resolving. Semi‐structured Zoom interviews with 18 adults were analyzed via

Growing impact of wildfire on western US water supply
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance How will increasing wildfire activity affect water resources in the water-limited western United States (WUS)? Among basins where >20% of forest burned, postfire streamflow is significantly enhanced by an average of approximately 30% for 6 y.

Restoring Trust: Rebuilding the Forest Carbon Credit System Through Scientific Rigor
Biological Diversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As pivotal nature‐based climate solutions (NbCS), forests are increasingly recognized for their climate mitigation potential. However, this potential is undermined by fundamental flaws in current carbon credit systems. Our analysis identifies four interconnected systemic challenges: (1) subjective additionality assessments arising from ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...
