Cheibas, Ina (author), Laot, Mathilde (author), Rich, Belinda (author), Fu, J. (author), Zhu, Jia-Ning (author), Popovich, V. (author)This study investigated the feasibility of in-situ manufacturing of a functionally graded metallic-regolith multimaterial. To fabricate the gradient, digital light processing, an additive manufacturing technique, and spark plasma sintering were selected due to their compatibility with metallic-ceramic processing in a space environment. The...book chapter 2024

Schmehl, R. (author), Rodriguez, Mario (author), Ouroumova, Lora (author), Gaunaa, Mac (author)Renewable energy for Mars habitats is of key interest for future crewed missions. However, the low solar irradiation and low atmospheric pressure on Mars pose serious challenges to exploiting these resources reliably. In this chapter, we investigate the technical feasibility of a soft-kite-based airborne wind energy system and its potential to...book chapter 2024

Gaunaa, Mac (author), Rodriguez, Mario (author), Ouroumova, Lora (author), Schmehl, R. (author)Although technologically challenging, airborne wind energy systems have several advantages over conventional wind turbines that make them an interesting option for deployment on Mars. However, the environmental conditions on the red planet are quite different from those on Earth. The atmosphere’s density is about 100 times lower, and gravity is...book chapter 2024

Liu, Tianzhu (author), Korthals Altes, W.K. (author), Wallet, Frédéric (author), Melot, Romain (author)This chapter discusses planning the reterritorialisation of agricultural activities as an avenue of the Covid-19 pandemic recovery. Reterritorialisation indicates local food being targeted to local inhabitants instead of the global market. We argue that the pandemic has accelerated the reterritorialisation process. Supply chain actors actively...book chapter 2024

Peck, David (author)The construction sector in the European Union is the biggest producer of waste when compared to other economic sectors. Waste prevention could reduce greenhouse emissions by up to 80%. Much of the material demand is from primary mined material sources and both this demand and primary supply have seen an exponential rise in the twenty-first...book chapter 2024

(author), Cottone, Paolo (author), Veland, Siri (author), Martinez Reyes, A. (author)A crucial task to accelerate global decarbonisation is to understand how to enable fast, equitable, low-carbon transformations in Coal and Carbon Intensive Regions (CCIRs). In this early literature review we underlined the relevance of the boundary concept of social-ecological tipping points (SETPs) and showed that the research and policy...book chapter 2024

Sohn, H. (author)Dawn is close. A thick layer of mist lingers a few inches above the ground in a patch of dense tropical forest near Hopelchén, the place of the five sinkholes. The air is humid and fat with dew; it smells of cold ashes and smoke, rotting leaves, mushrooms, moss, mud. A thin ray of light starts to make its way through the lush foliage of a...book chapter 2024

Gorny, R.A. (author), Kousoulas, Stavros (author), Perera, Dulmini (author), Radman, A. (author)Our present condition urges those critically and creatively engaged with it, to address the transformative potentials that are brought about by a highly intertwined triad of changes. As the posthuman philosopher Rosi Braidotti notes, these three changes can no longer be addressed in isolation or in the context of singular disciplines. At an...book chapter 2024

Kousoulas, Stavros (author), Radman, A. (author)It is common enough question: What is the human? Sure enough, it is also a question that has troubled some of the greatest minds to walk this planet. Nevertheless, one might wonder, is it really a good question in its own right? To show our allegiances from the outset, we categorically declare it an extremely bad question – in the sense of being...book chapter 2024
