It has often been pointed out that our Western tradition has tended to regard humans as placed at a distance from nature, even as the exception of nature, which in turn has legitimized a view of nature as a means and resource for its own enterprises. ...

To enhance Situation Awareness (SA) in the context of autonomous ship navigation within a complex navigation environment, the Advanced Ship Predictor (ASP) is proposed as a solution framework aimed at predicting ship maneuvers. This can be used to identify potential ship close encounters and collision scenarios in advance, where appropriate collision avoidance actions should be taken. The implementation ...

Antarctic sea ice is one of the largest biomes on Earth providing a critical habitat for ice algae. Measurements of primary production in Antarctic sea ice remain scarce and an observation‐based estimate of primary production has not been revisited in over 30 years. We fill this knowledge gap by presenting a newly compiled circumpolar data set of particulate and dissolved organic carbon from 362 ...

Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is increasingly recognized to be emitted from newly deglaciated environments, particularly in the Arctic, yet due to data scarcity these sources remain underrepresented in global methane budgets. Deglaciation leads to the expansion of proglacial terrains, driving the formation of an increasing number of proglacial lakes worldwide, especially in Greenland. Small to ...
