Integrating Urban Expansion and Flood Risk: A Spatial Assessment of Impervious Surface Growth and Floodplain Exposure in Mecklenburg County (2011–2021)

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion significantly impacts flood risk, particularly in rapidly growing areas where impervious surfaces exacerbate surface runoff. This study examines spatial patterns of urban growth and their effects on flood exposure in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, from 2011 to 2021.

Flow History Effects on River Bifurcation Dynamics in a Himalayan River

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Dynamic gravel bed rivers experience frequent changes in channel position and flow distribution between branches, which can alter the location and extent of flooding. Changes in flow routing can significantly impact livelihoods, habitats and infrastructure in adjacent floodplains. Here, we test whether variations in seasonal discharge patterns

Seasonal Ice Cover Could Allow Liquid Lakes to Persist in a Cold Mars Paleoclimate

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Geomorphic and stratigraphic studies of Mars prove that extensive liquid water flowed and pooled on the surface early in Mars' history. Martian paleoclimate models, however, have difficulty simulating climate conditions warm enough to maintain liquid water on early Mars.

How Sediment Supply, Sea‐Level, and Glacial Isostatic Oscillations Drive Alluvial River Long‐Profile Evolution and Terrace Formation

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract For over a century, alluvial river terraces have been used as archives of tectonic deformation or changes in water discharge, sediment supply, and sea level. Despite this long history, such efforts remain challenging: using terraces as deformation markers requires knowledge of their initial geometry, and most attempts to attribute terrace ...

Tectonics as a Regulator of Shoreline Retreat and Rocky Coast Evolution Across Timescales

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Rocky coast morphology is shaped by interactions between wave action, sea level, and tectonics over millennial time scales. However, a clear and quantifiable signature of tectonic uplift on decadal to centennial shoreline retreat rates is outstanding.

Morphological Evolution of Impact Craters and Associated Gravity Anomalies: New Perspectives From Numerical Modeling

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Hyper‐velocity impacts on planetary surfaces lead to impact craters whose morphology evolves due to exogenous factors such as atmospheric processes, as well as endogenous factors including tectonic and metamorphism. On Earth, erosion processes driven by climate (fluvial, aeolian, glacial processes) progressively erase these structures, or even

Interplay Between Tectonics and Submarine Mass Transport Deposits in Cortes Basin: New High‐Resolution Geophysics in the Outer California Borderland

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Outer California Borderland (OCB) is an active transform plate boundary offshore Southern California, where the relationship between faulting and submarine mass transport deposits (MTDs) remains poorly understood. Onshore paleoseismic data provide high‐resolution earthquake records, whereas marine geophysical data capture longer‐term ...
