Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Rethinking Collinearity in Self‐Organizing Maps: Evidence From Geophysical Data Classification
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract This study examines the impact of collinearity on unsupervised machine learning algorithms (UMLAs), specifically Self‐Organizing Maps (SOMs), for detecting lithological boundaries in geophysical data. Using a multi‐scale experimental framework that includes bivariate isotropic clusters, geologically complex Noddy simulations, and real‐world ...

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The proliferation of AI‐generated building footprints in OpenStreetMap (OSM) has transformed crowdsourced mapping, yet the geometric characteristics associated with different digitization methods remain poorly understood. This study presents a comprehensive morphometric analysis of more than 9 million building footprints across 15 ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract The efficacy of rapid seismic response is fundamentally constrained by the sequential, multi‐step nature of conventional InSAR processing, where error propagation and reliance on auxiliary data hinder automation. Here, we present a holistic framework using Physics‐Aware Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to directly retrieve absolute ...

Monte Carlo Simulation of 3D Cloud Radiance Distributions Affected by Ground‐Based Lighting
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract Satellite observations of artificial light sources at night are increasing. Clouds, as the most important radiative modulators in the Earth‐atmosphere system, significantly influence the observed values and spatial distribution of the artificial light coming from the ground.
