Fine‐Tuning a Weather Foundation Model With Lightweight Decoders for Unseen Physical Processes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Recent advances in AI weather forecasting have led to the emergence of so‐called “foundation models”, typically defined by expensive pretraining and minimal fine‐tuning for downstream tasks. However, in the natural sciences, a desirable foundation model should also encode meaningful statistical relationships between the underlying physical ...

A Roadmap for Identifying and Interpreting Physical Processes and National Water Model Prediction Bias Associated With Baseflow Index Regimes Across the Contiguous United States

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding how groundwater–surface water interactions shape streamflow variability is critical for diagnosing low flow behavior and prediction bias in continental scale hydrologic models. We present a process informed framework that links observed baseflow (BF) dynamics, watershed attributes, and National Water Model (NWM) performance ...

The Effects of Late Pleistocene Sea‐Level Fluctuations and Sediment Transport Processes on the Sequestration of Fresh and Brackish Water in Continental Shelf Environments

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Offshore fresh groundwater (OFG) is regarded as a significant, albeit typically non‐renewable, unconventional water resource stored within continental shelves. Many models of offshore freshwater emplacement use present‐day stratigraphy while applying Pleistocene sea‐level fluctuations.

A GRACE/‐FO‐Based Framework for Improved Reproduction of Water‐Balance‐Constrained Evapotranspiration Across Hydroclimatic Regimes

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Diagnosing monthly evapotranspiration (ET) under water‐balance constraints is essential for understanding land‐atmosphere interactions and managing water resources under changing climate conditions. Since 2002, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and its successor GRACE Follow‐On (GRACE/‐FO) missions have provided precise ...

Classification of Precipitable Water Vapor Regimes Revealed by Clustering of GNSS Radio Occultation and ERA5 Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is an essential parameter for the study of weather and climate behavior. This work presents a novel regional classification of PWV regimes based on clustering techniques applied to Global Navigation Satellite System radio occultation‐derived and ERA5 reanalysis data with and without seasonal removal.

Transient Ecological Niches for Diazotrophs in Upwelling Bays

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Diazotrophs, microorganisms capable of fertilizing the ocean through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), are widespread in the oceans, including upwelling bays. However, their ability to respond to short‐lived upwelling pulses, lasting only a few days, remains poorly understood. To investigate diazotrophy across temporal scales, we analyzed 18

Putative Mechanisms for Initial Reaction of Anaerobic Benzene Degradation Presumably Involving a Flavoprotein

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.
Anaerobic biodegradation of benzene by sulphate‐reducing strain BzS1 was studied by combining genomics, differential proteomics and targeted metabolite analyses. Strain BzS1 has an exceptionally streamlined metabolism. A highly abundant heterotrimeric flavoprotein may add benzene to either enolpyruvate or glutaconyl‐CoA followed by channelling into the

A Scalable Approach for Identification of Reach‐Scale Hydraulic Processes to Support Flood Prediction Models

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Simplification of channel routing models results in errors in streamflow predictions and uncertain flood forecasts. Conceptual frameworks have been proposed to prescribe a heterogeneous routing scheme that incorporates greater complexity where necessary, but their implementation is constrained by the need for hydraulic data that is not widely ...

Tourism, human–wildlife interactions, and wildlife trade in the globalizing Amazon

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Tourism in the globalizing Peruvian Amazon contributes to harmful human–wildlife interactions and the wildlife trade, with tourists participating in activities such as handling wildlife, taking selfies with animals, purchasing live animals, and wild meat consumption.

Interplay Between Species Traits, Community and Environmental Context Governs Temporal Stability in Riverine Fish Populations

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
Analysing abundance time‐series for 7912 fish populations across multiple biogeographic realms, this study demonstrates that temporal stability is influenced by interactions among species traits, environmental marginality and community richness. Specifically, stability is maximized in equilibrium strategists, populations situated near their thermal and
