Assessing the forced labor risk of US fruit and vegetable commodities (2020)
Conference Proceeding

Studies on sustainable food consumption to date have largely focused on promoting human health within ecological limits. Much less attention has been paid to social sustainability, in part because of limited data and models. The aim of this research...

Thermal sensitivity of feeding and burrowing activity of an invasive crayfish in UK waters (2020)
Journal Article

Climate change and invasive species are among the biggest threats to global biodiversity and ecosystem function. Although the individual impacts of climate change and invasive species are commonly assessed, we know far less about how a changing clima...

Rapidly rising transboundary atmospheric pollution from industrial and urban sources in Southeast Asia and its implications for regional sustainable development (2020)
Journal Article

Transboundary atmospheric pollution is a major concern throughout much of Southeast Asia (SEA), although most attention has, to date, focused on episodic haze events associated with biomass burning in the region. Here, we reconstruct long-term variat...

Transforming knowledge systems for life on Earth: Visions of future systems and how to get there (2020)
Journal Article

Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimul...

Remote sensing of fish-processing in the Sundarbans Reserve Forest, Bangladesh: an insight into the modern slavery-environment nexus in the coastal fringe (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Land-based fish-processing activities in coastal fringe areas and their social-ecological impacts have often been overlooked by marine scientists and antislavery groups. Using remote sensing methods, the location and impacts of...

The role of species composition in the emergence of alternate vegetation states in a temperate rainforest system (2020)
Journal Article

Context: Forest systems are dynamic and can alternate between alternative stable states in response to climate, disturbance and internal abiotic and biotic conditions. Switching between states depends on the crossing of critical thresholds and the es...

Superresolution Land Cover Mapping Using a Generative Adversarial Network (2020)
Journal Article

Superresolution mapping (SRM) is a commonly used method to cope with the problem of mixed pixels when predicting the spatial distribution within low-resolution pixels. Central to the popular SRM method is the spatial pattern model, which is utilized... Read More about Superresolution Land Cover Mapping Using a Generative Adversarial Network.

Glacial discharge into the subarctic Northeast Pacific Ocean during the last glacial (2020)
Journal Article

Understanding the response of the climate to abrupt changes in the Earth system represents a key objective in paleoclimatology.
