Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.The alignment between rockfall deposit surface exposure 10Be ages and Holocene temperature records suggests that major rockfall events occurred episodically in response to climatic fluctuations. We conclude that temperature and its evolution enabled mechanical, chemical or bio‐chemical enhancement of fracture progression.

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Scabiosa trenta Hacq. was first described in 1782 by Balthasar Hacquet, with its specific epithet referring to the Trenta Valley in Slovenia. Since then, S. trenta has been the focus of numerous mountaineering and botanical expeditions, particularly by the alpinist Julius Kugy during the Golden Age of Alpinism, a period in the second half of 19th ...

Exhumed eo‐Alpine High‐Pressure Rocks Fed Campanian Turbidites in Eastern Sardinia
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract This study investigates the detrital record of the early orogenic evolution of the Sardinia‐Calabria system, preserved in Upper Cretaceous arenites exposed in eastern Sardinia. Sardinia and Corsica form a continental block that includes a segment of the Alpine orogen and of its former foreland basin.

EnScale: Temporally‐Consistent Multivariate Generative Downscaling via Proper Scoring Rules
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The practical use of future climate projections from global circulation models (GCMs) is often limited by their coarse spatial resolution, requiring downscaling to generate high‐resolution data. Regional climate models (RCMs) provide this refinement, but are computationally expensive.

Climatology of Storm Characteristics for Sub‐Daily Heavy Precipitation in the Greater Alpine Region
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Characterizing storms that generate heavy precipitation across different timescales is essential for parameterizing and assessing stochastic weather generators, evaluating climate models, enhancing risk management, and understanding climate change impacts.
