Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Beach stratigraphy at North Beach, Sandy Hook, New Jersey is used to calibrate a model of coastal erosion, establish a model‐based erosion threshold, and evaluate how often threshold conditions have been exceeded since 1979 through hindcast analysis.

Effects of Root Architecture on Plant Anchoring in Noncohesive Sediment
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Plant roots stabilize sediment in engineered and natural landscapes, but we lack a general understanding of how root architecture affects anchoring forces. Existing models can accurately simulate root breakage and soil failure, but such models primarily rely on experimentally calibrated empirical relations between root geometry characteristics

Assimilation of Velocity Data for Tidal Hydrodynamics Model Calibration
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Assessing tidal stream energy resource typically involves the application of numerical models calibrated against sparse Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data. This introduces significant challenges in energetic sites which are prone to significant spatiotemporal variations, like the Pentland Firth, Scotland, which is home to the world ...

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a major submarine feature in the South Atlantic that plays an important role in regional oceanographic dynamics. This study presents new U‐Pb geochronology of sedimentary rocks from the RGR, offering direct age constraints on carbonate and apatite embedded within Fe‐Mn crusts and associated foraminifera fossils ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Tidal influences are rarely considered in parameter estimation procedures for coastal groundwater flow models. Yet, considering tides adds to the already high computational burden associated with such models due to the presence of density‐dependent flow.

The loss of an Indigenous‐maintained She‐Oak woodland in southeast Australia
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.A 2600‐year multi‐proxy palaeoecological record (pollen, charcoal, and sediment) from Balfour Swamp, east Gippsland, reveals the persistence of an open, grassy She‐Oak woodland maintained by GunaiKurnai. This vegetation community, resilient to climatic variability and fire, was lost following the disruption of Aboriginal land management and replaced by
