Laser bathymetry on rough riverbed channels: State‐of‐the‐art and future prospects
This literature review found that topo‐bathymetric LiDAR has been successfully used to capture the structures of rough riverbeds and detect large boulders. While all of the studies that were reviewed used sensors that were operated from fixed‐wing aircraft, few studies have yet tested UAV‐borne sensors on rough riverbeds, despite the potential offered ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Detrital platinum group minerals (PGM) are rare and distinctive in Pleistocene–Holocene sedimentary systems of the southern South Island, thereby enabling tracking of their long‐distance transport for ∼200 km. The first ∼100 km of transport involved Pleistocene glaciofluvial processes southwards down the Waiau River, where PGM (principally Pt–Fe and Ru–

Epistemic opacity in Antarctic science: Unknowing the last frontier
Abstract Antarctica is facing intensifying pressures from climate change, industrial fishing, tourism and renewed geopolitical competition, even as scientific activity on the continent reaches unprecedented levels. We argue that this proliferation of research often fails to deliver the integrated, policy‐relevant knowledge needed for precautionary ...

Lunar Crustal Formation by Melt Migration and Differentiation Within a Stagnant Lid
Abstract The lunar anorthosite highlands represent the Moon's primary crust, which formed during the solidification of a magma ocean following the Moon‐forming giant impact. However, the canonical model of anorthite flotation in the crystallizing magma ocean often struggles to reproduce the long > ${ >} $200 Myr solidification timescale required by the

The place name Aiali is sited on lowland between the medieval town of Grosseto and the Roman town of Roselle in central Italy. The site discussed in this paper was detected from the air during the Aerial Archaeology Research School organized by the ...

Abstract Accurate Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) is of paramount importance for global climate change response and sustainable development. Although numerical models such as the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model are widely applied in operational forecasting, they exhibit significant systematic biases under complex atmospheric conditions,

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...
