Analysing Large‐Scale Patterns of Linear Dune Morphology and Their Environmental Controls in the South‐Western Kalahari

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
Novel, semi‐automated techniques enable the mapping and analysis of dune morphology and its potential environmental controls across the south‐western Kalahari's extensive linear dune field. Relationships between morphometrics and controls vary regionally, for example, the effect of valleys on main dune orientation or orientational variability ...

Fractal Analysis, Morpho‐Sedimentary Aspects and Coastal Vulnerability in Mediterranean Islands: A Novel Approach

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
An integrated framework combining fractal geometry, sedimentology and coastal exposure analysis revealed higher coastal vulnerability in Procida than in Mykonos despite the latter's greater shoreline complexity. This approach provides a robust tool for assessing morphodynamics and supporting sustainable management of Mediterranean island coasts ...

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1114-1124, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.

Diverse sources of aeolian sediment revealed in an arid landscape in southeastern Iran using a modified Bayesian un-mixing model

, 2019
Identifying and quantifying source contributions of aeolian sediment is critical to mitigate local and regional effects of wind erosion in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world.

Long‐Term Operation of Photovoltaic Power Stations Promotes Soil Carbon Sequestration but Induces Stoichiometric C:N:P Imbalance in Desert Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 16, Page 11682-11696, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon‐nitrogen‐phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry governs nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration in desert ecosystems, yet how large‐scale photovoltaic (PV) deployment, a cornerstone of global carbon neutrality, shifts these stoichiometric balances and whether such shifts enhance or degrade long‐term land function remain unresolved over

Determining the Optimal Water Storage Depth of Apple Orchards in the Chinese Loess Plateau: Balancing Soil Desiccation Mitigation, Plant Utilization, and Engineering Construction

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 16, Page 11974-11988, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Deep‐rooted plantations are central to dryland ecological restoration, yet their long‐term cultivation drives widespread deep soil desiccation, threatening ecosystem sustainability. While artificial water replenishment is a key deep soil desiccation mitigation strategy, the depth‐dependent positional effect of stored water on eco‐hydrological ...

Using synthetic models to understand the detecting ability of ground‐penetrating radar for water‐conducting structures in the bedrock of formerly glaciated site

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 669-692, October 2026.
Abstract Utilizing synthetic models for the interpretation of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) profiles can aid in the detection of hydrogeological structures by identifying their signatures. In this study, finite difference (FD) forward modelling was used to understand the detection ability of 50 MHz GPR for (1) the quaternary deposit–bedrock contact ...

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 623-644, October/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

Depositional and Hydrological Relationships Between Buried Dead Ice and the Active Layer in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica: A Study of Sediment Geochemistry and Cation Concentrations

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 725-752, October/December 2026.
ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.
