The Limits of Regionalism in Achieving Effective Spatial Outcomes

open access: yesTijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract Institutional quality matters and decentralisation and regionalisation should be in service of this overall aim. This paper, in putting forward this simple proposition, lays out evidence on regionalisation, decentralisation and institutions. Despite an assumption that the establishment of regional bodies can solve a series of problems – such ...

Future Mediterranean Summer Drying Across Models: Opposing Dynamic and Thermodynamic Constraints

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models project drier Mediterranean summers under global warming, yet exhibit substantial inter‐model spread. Notably, models with stronger global‐mean warming produce little additional drying.

Preservation of Isolated Vesicles in Submarine Pumice and Implications for Submarine Slope Stability

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Pumice clasts from submarine eruptions contain abundant isolated vesicles that are completely encased in glass. As erupted clasts cool, gas inside isolated vesicles contracts, leading to low pressures inside those vesicles. Despite low pressures, isolated vesicles can be preserved in submarine pumice deposits to water depths of approximately 1–

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2134-2157, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.
