Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Using camera trap data, we observed that 5 of 6 prey species showed statistically significant changes in temporal activity patterns, while jaguars were the only predator species to adjust activity when comparing pre‐fire and post‐fire periods in an isolated rocky formation in the Pantanal region.

The impact of tropical forests on local climate: Comparing recent research with conservation practitioner information priorities

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2828-2846, August 2026.
Abstract The local‐scale climate impacts of tropical forests (LCIF), such as reducing temperatures and increasing rainfall, are directly relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Strengthening understanding of these local climate benefits can encourage actions to conserve natural forests, with positive implications for climate resilience ...

Formulation and Implementation of a Dynamic Roughness Length for Improved Surface Wind Speeds in WRF

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate near‐surface winds from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model are essential for wind‐energy applications, yet persistent biases remain that depend on terrain, season, and land cover. This study develops and evaluates an observation‐informed, time‐varying aerodynamic roughness length for WRF. The roughness length is inferred

Reassessing Alpine Permafrost Thermal State by Accounting for Ground Ice

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Permafrost thermal state, representing the stored “cold energy” in the ground, is crucial for assessing permafrost changes. However, the conventional metric, mean annual ground temperature (MAGT), has inherent limitations because it overlooks the thermodynamic contribution of ground ice.

The Length of Martian Crater Rays and Their Relation to Lunar Cold Spots

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Impact‐generated crater rays are well‐documented on the Moon, with most appearing as high‐albedo streaks extending radially from a crater's center. On Mars, however, crater rays are significantly rarer and discernible only through thermal imaging due to their lower thermal inertia compared to surrounding terrain.
