Local people in both frontier and intensifying landscapes in Ecuador desire forest restoration that provides multiple benefits

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Forest restoration is being promoted globally as an action that addresses multiple challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss and poverty. But restoration projects will only persist over the long term if their goals are aligned with local people's interests and priorities.

Thermokarst Lagoons: Distribution, Classification and Dynamics in Permafrost‐to‐Marine Transitions

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition of permafrost landscapes to marine environments, driven by climate change, plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Thermokarst lagoons, formed along permafrost coasts when thermokarst lakes get connected to the sea, are key features in this transition.

Cryptic Ice Wedge Networks in Holocene Peat, Yukon‐Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Yukon‐Kuskokwim Delta (YKD), covering ~75,000 km2 of Alaska's discontinuous permafrost zone, has a historic (1902–2023) mean annual air temperature of ~−1°C and was previously thought to lack ice wedge networks. However, our recent investigations near Bethel, Alaska, revealed numerous near‐surface ice wedges.

Andrean examples of mega-geomorphology themes [PDF]

open access: yes
Geomorphic (or physiographic) provinces have been a well known and useful method of regional landform classification for a century. Every earth scientist will recognize a phrase such as Appalachian Plateau or Southern Rocky Mountains as defining a ...

Modeling Changes in Flow Dynamics From the Restoration of a Distributary Slough Along a Large Floodplain River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sloughs are slow‐moving or still water systems that serve as an important ecosystem component connecting rivers and floodplains such as the Apalachicola River in northwest Florida. However, sloughs of the Apalachicola River have become hydrologically disconnected from the mainstem due to the impact of failed navigation projects such as channel

Using LiDAR‐Based DEM Elevation Difference Calculations to Estimate Net Streambank Erosion in an Iowa River, USA

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Streambank erosion is an important source of sediment to river systems but is difficult to quantify at watershed scales. In this study, high‐resolution Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) measurements collected from 2009 and 2020 were used to quantify the difference in land surface elevation that occurred along the fourth and fifth‐order ...
