Strain‐based modeling and analysis for rock blasting and geomechanics applications
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 28-42, March 2026.This paper introduces a novel strain‐based modeling approach for blasting and geomechanical applications, using measurable variables like particle velocity, strain, and displacement. By bypassing complex constitutive relations, strain‐based models capture critical blasting trends and full‐blast design parameters with minimal calibration.

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Clay‐rich soils and sediments are key components of near‐surface systems, influencing water retention, ion exchange, and structural stability. Their complex dielectric response under moist conditions arises from surface–ion electrostatics and diffuse double layers that govern transport and retention processes. This study explores the broadband

Impacts of Temperature‐ and Stress‐Dependent Rheology on Ice‐Shelf‐Front Bending
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Classical treatments of ice‐shelf bending suggest that shelf fronts should bend downwards, due to the distribution of hydrostatic water pressure at the front. However, LiDAR data show several instances of upward‐bending ice‐shelf fronts. While this phenomenon has often been attributed to a buoyant force from a submerged ice bench, recent work ...

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 87-107, January/March 2026.ABSTRACT Preliminary geophysical investigations are a cost‐effective and efficient way to screen archaeological sites and locate buried structures. Ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the most widely used methods for archaeological prospection, but in some sites, it cannot be employed effectively due to the presence of clay or other electrically ...

Journal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study investigates the impact of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology on the vertical surface deformations of airport runways, specifically in the context of airport lighting system renovations. Taking Guanghan Airport (China) as a case study, the research combines field experiments with finite element numerical simulations to analyze ...

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract Dielectric anisotropy in ice alters the propagation of polarized radio waves, so polarimetric radar sounding can be used to survey anisotropic properties of ice masses. Ice anisotropy is either intrinsic, associated with ice‐crystal orientation fabric (COF), or extrinsic, associated with material heterogeneity, such as bubbles, fractures, and ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Stress–strain relationships are fundamental to understanding deformation mechanics in any material. In sea ice, stress–strain relationships are typically observed by measuring the strain resulting from known stress in samples wholly or partially isolated from the surrounding ice.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 11, November 2025.Dynamic storage in snow‐dominated mountain systems includes snowpacks, plant accessible water (PAW), groundwater and surface. We summarise recent advances in measuring and modelling these dynamic stores. Our review highlights spatial heterogeneity and time evolution of capacity and filling/depletion of these stores and discusses implications for ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 17, 16 September 2025.Abstract The presence and nature of marine ice in ice shelves is important, yet difficult to determine. We present transient electromagnetic results spanning 10 km across a suture zone of Larsen C Ice Shelf (LCIS), Antarctica, supported by central borehole measurements. Our results indicate the presence of two ice‐shelf layers.
