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

Segmentation of the Active Fault on the Cirebon-Semarang Segments as Revealed by DEM-Derived Geomorphic Indices

JGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology
This research focuses on the segmentation and tectonic activity of the Baribis-Kendeng Fault across the Cirebon to Semarang segments, revealed through the analysis of geomorphic indices derived from Digital Elevation Models (DEM).

Influence of Grain Arrangement on Particle Mobility and Patterns of Variability Between Gravel Bed Rivers

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The grain‐scale arrangement of gravel is important in controlling the stability of river beds, sediment supply and geomorphic adjustment of river channels. However, the influence of gravel bed texture on grain mobility is difficult to quantify because differences in flow history and sediment composition influence the development of bed ...

On Utilizing Spatial Gradients to Discover Functional Relationships in Hydrology

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The search for functional relationships is at the heart of any science, but has proven notoriously difficult in hydrology. Here, we define functional relationships as relationships between two or more variables that characterize the functions of hydrological systems.

Detecting Morphological Change From DInSAR Data in Ephemeral, Braided, Gravel Bed Rivers. Application to the Ungauged Trionto River, Italy

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Estimating morphological change in braided gravel bed rivers is important to determine the geometry of the active part of the braidplain, that is the width of the area where bed material is transported and the number of active branches during a certain time interval.

Influence of Digital Elevation Model Resolution on the Normalized Stream Length–Gradient Index in Intraplate Regions: A Case Study of the Yangsan Fault, Korea

Remote Sensing
The spatial variability of input parameters plays a crucial role in the interpretation of geomorphic indices, with digital elevation models (DEMs) being the primary data source.

Integrating Satellite Data Into Meso‐Scale Habitat Modeling for Non‐Perennial Rivers and Streams

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Non‐perennial rivers and streams (NPRs) are widespread and projected to become more common, yet effective tools for their characterization and management remain limited. This study introduces a novel approach to assess aquatic habitat availability in NPRs, applied to a regulated reach of the Sangone River (Northern Italy).

Soil Moisture Buffers the Impact of Precipitation Variability on Ecosystem Productivity

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Water availability governs ecosystem productivity, yet estimates of vegetation sensitivity to water can differ greatly depending on whether the sensitivity is examined spatially or temporally. In particular, the spatial sensitivity is often reported to be much stronger than temporal sensitivities, leading to highly uncertain projections of ...
