The motility skills of phytoplankton have evolved and persisted over millions of years, primarily in response to factors such as nutrient and light availability, temperature and viscosity gradients, t...
The growing demand for energy storage in extreme environments, including aerospace, polar regions, and deep sea, necessitates batteries that can operate reliably at ultra-low temperatures. Zinc-ion ba...
Elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are among the most threatened marine vertebrates worldwide, yet the consequences of their decline across multiple dimensions of biodiversity remain poorly understood. H...
This paper introduces a new hybrid framework that combines Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve robotic manipulation tasks. By utilizing RL for accurate low-level co...
We propose a cross-fitted debiasing device for policy learning from offline data. A key consequence of the resulting learning principle is $\sqrt N$ regret even for policy classes with complexity grea...
Biological clocks allow organisms to anticipate cyclical environmental changes, yet in high-latitude or deep-sea habitats, the diel cues that entrain these rhythms are often seasonally diminished or a...
Urbanization is rapidly expanding along the world's coasts, transforming natural ecosystems into increasingly uniform artificial environments. Yet, the patterns and processes shaping marine biodiversi...
Human talkers often address listeners with language-comprehension challenges, such as hard-of-hearing or non-native adults, by globally slowing down their speech. However, it remains unclear whether t...
Emerging deployments of Generative AI increasingly execute inference across decentralized and heterogeneous edge devices rather than on a single trusted server. In such environments, a single device f...
The Mediterranean Sea is a biodiversity hotspot that requires frequent monitoring to detect ecological changes and support conservation. Within this context, the Strait of Sicily (SoS), which forms th...
Reconstruction of sea surface temperature is critical for marine monitoring, yet conventional edge devices based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology suffer from memory-wall bo...
Macroecological patterns of life history traits, such as larval size, are fundamental to understanding the biogeography and diversity of marine invertebrates. The long-established Thorson's Rule hypot...
Robotic mapping systems typically approach building metric-semantic scene representations from the robot's own sensors and cameras. However, these "first person" maps inherit the robot's own limitatio...
In many institutional settings, $k$ items are selected with the goal of representing the underlying distribution of claims, opinions, or characteristics in a large population. We study environments wi...
The Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America provides ecosystem services derived from marine biodiversity and oil and gas resources. Threats posed by unintended releases of oil and gas can be attenuated by micr...
