Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Archives of impact: The politics of craters on Earth

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
This paper examines Earth’s 195 confirmed impact craters as archives, exploring their cataloguing and presentation as heritage sites. It argues Western scientific framings using military language and emphasising catastrophe overlook settler colonialism’s violent histories and marginalise indigenous earth‐sky cosmologies.

Thermal Buffering, Heat Advection and Crustal Thinning in the Ryoke Metamorphic Complex, Yanai, Southwest Japan

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 287-310, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The metamorphic zoning and geothermobarometry of the Ryoke metamorphic complex in the Yanai area, southwest Japan, show that its thermobaric structure was buffered by the dehydration melting of biotite. The temperatures over most of the area covered by the three high‐grade zones (8.5‐ to 19.0‐km depth) are consistent with those of the ...

Morphology and osteo‐histology of the weigeltisaurid wing: Implications for aerial locomotion in the world's first gliding reptiles

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 843-872, May 2026.
This study investigates the morphology and osteo‐histology of the wing skeleton of the world's first gliding reptiles, showing how it differs from those of extant gliding lizards, yet is also convergently similar. These findings pave the way for future biomechanical studies on the gliding locomotion of these emblematic fossil animals. Abstract The Late

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 873-887, May 2026.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.
