The emancipation of technology as a subject: teachers’ views of technology content in secondary education

Abstract The roles of technology and engineering within STEM education have evolved from a focus on technology as a product to a broader vision encompassing the processes involved in its creation, closely linked to engineering. As the newest disciplines in STEM education, technol...

Multispectral representation of Distributed Acoustic Sensing data: A framework for physically interpretable feature extraction and visualisation

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) enables continuous monitoring of dynamic strain along tens of kilometres of optical fibre, generating massive datasets whose interpretation and automated analysis remain challenging. DAS data can be understood as a time-distance image array. How...

Hydrographic CTD profiles capturing the onset of near-surface stratification in Southwest Greenland fjords during two consecutive spring 2025 field campaigns

Abstract. In situ hydrographic observations in Greenland fjords remain sparse, particularly during late winter and early spring, despite their importance for Arctic freshwater export, glacier–ocean interactions, and the seasonal development of stratification. A major limitation o...

Unravelling the trophic ecology of the ocean sunfish Mola mola in the western Mediterranean Sea through integrated approaches

Abstract Understanding the trophic ecology of marine megafauna is essential for elucidating their ecological roles and supporting effective conservation strategies. The ocean sunfish ( Mola mola ) is the second-largest bony fish worldwide and has a broad distribution, including t...

Identification of a membrane transporter for dimethylsulfoniopropionate uptake in marine eukaryotic phytoplankton

Marine microalgae obtain essential sulfur through energetically costly, assimilatory reduction of sea-salt sulfate, so the ability for osmotrophic incorporation of reduced sulfur would confer them adaptability in energy-limiting conditions. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a...
