A globally influential area-condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity
In this paper, the authors highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species-based surveys.

Hunger on our doorstep (Part 2)
Hunger on our Doorstep is a two part podcast about food poverty in the UK. It explores the issues and potential solutions through the eyes of three food campaigners with firsthand experience of food poverty in urban communities, as well as others working to tackle the problem.
Associated Sprint: Can regenerative agriculture deliver nutritious food and a just food system?
Associated SDGs: 11 Sustainable cities and communities, 12 Responsible consumption and production, 15 Life on land, 2 Zero hunger, 3 Good health and well-being, 8 Decent work and economic growth

Speeding up research with the Agile Initiative
We created this video to explain what Agile is, what we do, and why it’s important. Hear from researchers about the driving force behind Agile, why we co-create with partners, and the benefits of working in this way for impact and careers.

Shear-wave splitting measured for permanent reservoir monitoring systems: an example from the Snorre field
In this pre-print paper, the authors demonstrate that shear-wave splitting is a valuable dataset for monitoring the offshore subsurface stress field, which should be considered when planning offshore passive seismic monitoring.
Associated Sprint: What do we need to know to safely store CO2 beneath our shelf seas?
Associated SDGs: 13 Climate action, 14 Life below water, 9 Industry, innovation and infrastructure

Passive Monitoring of in situ Stress Using Shear-Wave Splitting: Applications to CO2 Storage and Beyond
Characterising the in situ stress field is important for a range of industrial applications, such as geological CO₂ storage. In this pre-print, the authors demonstrate the potential of shear-wave splitting as a passive measure of in situ stress and the challenges that remain.

Local people’s preferences for housing development-associated Biodiversity Net Gain in England
In this paper, authors Amber Butler, Ben Groom and E.J. Milner-Gulland write that, in order to be publicly acceptable and socially sustainable, biodiversity net gain policy and practise must be flexible enough to incorporate place-specific preferences.

Basin-scale development of giant collapse structures induced by gypsum diagenesis
In this paper, the authors use seismic and borehole data from the Southern North Sea Basin to document previously unrecognized, basin-scale collapse structures within the Permian Zechstein Supergroup.

What does the large range in potential methane CO2 equivalent evaluation imply for climate policy targets?
In this paper, the author explores how near-term (2023-2027) agricultural emission reductions would be reported under multiple emission metrics (GWP100, GWP20, GTP100 and two applications of GWP*) and discusses the potential implications for target-setting.
