Pollution to Solution: Understanding and Addressing Microplastic Contamination in the Environment

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT In general, plastic pollution results from the unintentional release of macroplastic materials into the environment as well as the deliberate production and usage of small plastic particles (micro‐ and nano‐sized plastic particles) in a variety of consumer products micro and nanoplastics in filtrate freshwater and marine environments because ...

A Mass Conservation Model to Study the Evolution of Coastal Soft Cliffs Driven by Sea Level Rise Over Multi‐Century Timescales

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Soft cliffed coasts are particularly vulnerable to erosion and their retreat depends on environmental, geological and geomechanical factors. In this work, we use a mathematical modeling approach to understand effects of future global sea level rise on these coasts over multiple centuries.

Simulating the Coastal Protection Performance of Breakwaters in the Mekong Delta: Insights from the Western Coast of Ca Mau Province, Vietnam

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is experiencing accelerated coastal erosion, driven by upstream sediment trapping, sea-level rise, and local anthropogenic pressures.

Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Coastal Defenses Against Flooding

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Coastal flooding is growing substantially as storms increase and sea levels rise rapidly due to climate change. It is therefore important to find safe and sustainable ways to protect coastal communities against this growing risk. However, the effectiveness of traditional coastal defenses (hard seawalls) (HS) is being questioned due to concerns

Assessment of Breakwater as a Protection System against Aerodynamic Loads Acting on the Floating PV System

Energies
Offshore floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems are subjected to significant aerodynamic forces, especially during extreme wind conditions. Accurate estimation of these forces is crucial for the proper design of mooring lines and connection systems. In this

Insights From Managed Retreat Projects in Europe

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Managed retreat, the purposeful relocation of households and assets to reduce flood risk, is gaining recognition as an essential adaptation strategy under intensifying climate change. Although often contested and perceived as socially or politically unacceptable, managed retreat holds potential to enhance the long‐term resilience of at‐risk ...

Determination of Submerged Breakwater Efficiency Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Oceans
Wind-induced waves can lead to the partial or complete wash-over of beaches, causing erosion that impacts both the landscape and tourist infrastructure. In some regions of the world, e.g., Croatia, this process, which usually occurs during a harsh winter,

Hair as sensory skin: sensitive bodies, ritual shaving, and the maintenance of bodily boundaries in Hindu Suriname De la pilosité comme peau sensorielle : corps sensibles, rasage rituel et maintien des limites du corps chez les hindous du Surinam

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 269-292, March 2026.
Hair is an integral part of the skin's interface and has sensory capacity. It actively contributes to processes of bodily materialization and facilitates transactional exchange with other social actors and environments, particularly regarding energies and vibrations that can be perceived as subtle matter.
