Widespread Increase in Global Plant Water Stress Obscured by Greening

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding the vulnerability of plants to more severe and frequent drought events and developing adaptive management strategies requires robust methods for quantifying long‐term changes in plant water stress (PWS). Most data‐driven explorations of long‐term trends in PWS have focused on alterations in canopy structure (e.g., leaf area index)

Using Machine Learning to Predict Phytoplankton Blooms in the Salish Sea

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Strong phytoplankton blooms occur every spring in the Salish Sea, but vary significantly, spatially and temporally. Natural variability and climate change make the prediction of the bloom challenging, as they affect both atmospheric drivers and nutrient interactions that contribute to the growth of phytoplankton. Understanding these drivers is

Empirical Assessment of Storm‐Time Thermospheric Density Inversion Methods From LEO POD Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Thermospheric mass density is one of the largest sources of operational uncertainty for spacecraft in low Earth orbit, particularly during geomagnetic storms. The growing population of Global Navigation Satellite System‐equipped satellites presents a data set of opportunity: precise orbit determination (POD) data streams can be used to ...

On the Generation of Pre‐Sunrise Equatorial Plasma Bubbles in Southeast Asia During the Geomagnetic Storm of May 2024

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract A set of fresh Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs) formed during pre‐sunrise hours in the Southeast Asian sector amid the recovery phase of May 2024 geomagnetic storm. They offered new insights into their formation mechanism. This study used Total Electron Content (TEC) and Rate of TEC Index maps over Indonesia, along with ionosondes in Thailand ...

Vanadium Isotopic Compositions of the High‐3He/4He Baffin Island Lavas

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The isotopic composition of vanadium (V) in hotspot lavas provides new insight into the source of deep mantle heterogeneities. We measured V isotopic compositions in Paleogene Baffin Island lavas, which erupted above the Iceland plume head, to constrain the mantle plume source. These lavas have V isotopic compositions that are lighter (−0.96 ±

Polytropic Index and Thermodynamic Behavior of the Central Plasma Sheet Near Lunar Distances

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract In addition to making near‐Earth observations, the THEMIS/ARTEMIS mission is uniquely positioned at lunar distance, in the deep magnetotail, reaching distances of 60 RE ${R}_{E}$ and further. This vantage point allows ARTEMIS to access the plasma sheet and measure entropy evolution across convective channels, plasma flow gradients ...

Mars' O+ ${\mathbf{O}}^{+}$ and O2+ ${\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{2}}^{+}$ Ion Escape During Disappearing Solar Wind Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Disappearing solar wind events (DSWEs), intervals when the solar wind proton density <1 cm−3 ${\text{cm}}^{-3}$, represent one extreme of the Mars solar wind interaction. Using data from NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission from February 2016 to May 2024, 154 orbits across 90 unique days were identified.

MMS Observations of Multi‐Species Wave‐Particle Interactions and Rapid Foreshock Evolution

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The ion foreshock is the region upstream of Earth's bow shock where magnetic field lines connect to the quasi‐parallel shock surface. Within this region, there exist a variety of backstreaming ion populations from the shock ramp that can generate ultra‐low frequency (ULF) waves through wave‐particle interactions. In this work, we use data from

Excitation of Large Amplitude Compressional ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere by Solar Wind Pressure Spikes and IMF Southward Turning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a case study of large amplitude, compressional Pc5 waves observed by GOES 13 and 15 at geosynchronous orbit near noon. These waves were excited near the arrival time of two consecutive solar wind dynamic pressure spikes at the magnetopause, the second of which was associated with a large and rapid southward turning of the ...

Neutral Wind Dynamics in High‐Latitude Regions During the 17 March 2013 Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Neutral winds play a critical role in transporting mass, momentum, and energy throughout the upper atmosphere. During geomagnetic storms, momentum is transferred to the thermosphere primarily through ion–neutral collisions, along with other forces. This study investigates high‐latitude neutral wind dynamics during the 17 March 2013 storm using
