In the last month, the Visual Methodologies Collective participated in Regenerative Futures, a month-long design challenge to envision what a more desirable future could look like. Launched by SPACE10, a research and design lab based in Copenhagen, the call invited to use different AI generative models …

Origin verification of timber is essential to expose origin fraud and reduce illegal timber trade. A promising forensic method for origin verification is based on stable isotope ratios in wood, but large-scale studies that test local and regional variation to apply the method at a sub-country scale are …

Since the return of the grey wolf (Canis lupus) in the Netherlands in 2015, much research has been done on the ecology and distribution of the species. This has led to a dietary study using hair- and DNA-sampling of wolf scats, and preliminary analyses of DNA in wolf scats showed that DNA from non-prey, …

Green energy is just one of the two types of energy humanity needs, the energy for our man-made world, including cities, road networks, industries and technological systems (energy for the systems that drive out the ecology). However, a second type of energy is needed to meet our biological needs, energy …

XblocPlus is a single layer armour unit developed by BAM Infra Consult. The XblocPlus is the successor of the Xbloc and one of the main changes is that it is placed in a uniform pattern. Most of its hydraulic stability comes from the interlocking that the XblocPlus does. XblocPlus consists entirely …

In this article it is argued that we will no longer be able to spare the elephant in the room, technology, which has gradually evolved into technocracy, governing our day-to-day behaviour without being consciously or politically chosen. We do this on a large scale and meanwhile worldwide. For example, …

Native (flat) oyster (Ostrea edulis) beds, once a major component of the North Sea, largely disappeared from the region in the late 19th century. Flat oyster restoration is taking place at a number of locations in the North Sea. When flat oyster beds are restored in areas where O. edulis is functionally …

In this article it is argued that the knowledge and wisdom are there to reclaim our place in nature as a peaceful species. The technology is also there, although we walked dangerously close to the abyss to get hold of it. No one intended to become an enemy of ecology and our own survival. We gained powers …
