Limited elephant impacts on baobabs despite increasing elephant densities in a newly established protected area

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...

Optimizing Wind Power Plant Locations: A GIS‐Based Approach With Interval Type‐2 Fuzzy Risk Deviation Performance Index

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops an integrated GIS and multicriteria decision making (MCDM) approach supported by the Interval Type‐2 Fuzzy Risk Deviation Performance Index (IT2F‐RDPI) method to assess the wind energy potential in Diyarbakır Province. Fifteen criteria, including wind speed, slope, land use, elevation, soil structure, and proximity to ...

Land Subsidence Susceptibility Mapping in Semi‐Arid Regions Using PS‐InSAR and Tree‐Based Ensemble Machine Learning: A Case Study From Çumra, Türkiye

open access: yesTransactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Land subsidence is an increasing environmental hazard in semi‐arid agricultural basins where intensive groundwater abstraction, compressible geological units, and expanding land‐use pressures interact. This study presents a PS‐InSAR and machine‐learning‐based framework for land subsidence susceptibility mapping in the Çumra District of the ...

Nine‐Year L‐Band InSAR Time Series of Tectonic and Non‐Tectonic Surface Deformation in Northern California

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study evaluates the performance of ALOS‐2 ScanSAR time series for resolving tectonic, volcanic, hydrologic, and geomorphic deformation across Northern California. Beginning in 2021, ALOS‐2 acquired ScanSAR data with a 14‐day repeat interval over the region, providing the closest available analog to the recently launched NISAR mission. The
