Climate Change and Temperature‐Based Stratification in Shallow Lakes and Ponds in Warm Climate Regions

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Thermal stratification in shallow lakes (< 5 m, > 5 ha) and ponds (< 5 m, < 5 ha) in warm climate regions is understudied. A comprehensive review was done to identify the effects of climate change on stratification patterns, their effects on the ecology of shallow waterbodies and implications for management of shallow waterbodies.

Four Decades of Research at the MADE Site and Beyond: Advancing the Understanding and Modeling of Solute Transport in Heterogeneous Media

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Spatial heterogeneity, manifested as strong variability in hydraulic conductivity (K) within geological formations, exerts a fundamental control on groundwater flow and solute transport. Because K can vary over multiple orders of magnitude in complex three‐dimensional patterns, predicting contaminant plume migration remains a long‐standing ...
