Exposure to Large Landslides in Cities Outpaces Urban Growth
Abstract The world's rapidly growing urban population is forcing cities to expand into steeper terrain, increasing the risk of landslides. However, systemic assessments of urban landslide exposure are limited. Across 129 cities and their surrounding commuting areas, we identify 1,085 large (>0.1 km2) landslides that are currently inhabited.

Seismic Tremors From Sea‐Landfast Ice Interactions Near Utqiaġvik, Alaska
Abstract The mechanical state of Arctic landfast sea ice remains poorly constrained due to limited observations. This study investigates interactions between drifting sea ice and the coastal landfast ice near Utqiaġvik, Alaska by integrating data from broadband seismometer, Distributed Acoustic Sensing, and marine radar.

Abstract This study investigates the composition of smoke gases in forest and vegetation samples to draw conclusions about the actual smoke gas composition during wildfires. The focus is particularly on regions with extensive pine forests, like in Eastern Germany.

Abstract Freshwater systems are important sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). However, estimated emissions are associated with high uncertainties due to limited knowledge about the temporal variability in emissions and their associated controls, such as air–water gas transfer velocity.

Abstract Our understanding of the impact of melt generation and the interplay between magmatism and mechanical stretching during progressive rifting leading to seafloor spreading remains rudimentary. The Eastern North American Margin (ENAM) provides an excellent location to study the influence of rift magmatism on continental break‐up considering the ...

Abstract Understanding the conditions and mechanisms that produce earthquakes is of high scientific relevance. The central Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o te Moana of New Zealand is an active orogen that offers a unique opportunity to study the processes that drive seismogenesis.

Abstract High topography (> ${ >} $1 km) on the Anatolian Plate is widely attributed to buoyant mantle support, not just the isostatic response of crustal shortening. However, uncertainties in lithospheric structure hinder attempts to discriminate between competing uplift mechanisms.

Ductile Crustal Flow Facilitates Intraplate Volcanism: Seismic Evidence From Tengchong, China
Abstract The mechanisms and processes driving intraplate volcanism remain incompletely understood despite significant advances in recent decades. Here, we use high‐resolution multiparameter full‐waveform inversion to image the three‐dimensional seismic structure beneath the Tengchong volcanic region in southwestern China. Our model reveals a pronounced

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.
