Surface ages of alluvial fans in the southern Central Andes recorded by ground‐ and space‐based hyperspectral reflectance

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Secondary weathering of alluvial‐fan surfaces records the relative, and even absolute, ages of deposited sediments up to 300 ka. Hyperspectral imagery quantifies evolving mineral‐weathering pathways to unlock high‐resolution mapping and dating of these sedimentary landscapes.

Toward Causal Reasoning in GeoAI: A Three‐Tier Framework for Spatial Decision Support

open access: yesTransactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT As AI has increasingly shifted toward a generative paradigm with large‐scale foundation models, GeoAI has likewise advanced rapidly in spatial prediction, representation learning, and workflow automation across spatial tasks. However, the identification of causal mechanisms in spatial systems remains comparatively underdeveloped.

Using the Diet Composition of Adult Chinook Salmon to Understand the Regional Structure of Salish Sea Forage Communities

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 565-579, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish and other forage species are patchily distributed over space and time, resulting in variable foraging conditions experienced by their predators. The high‐resolution data necessary to understand the spatiotemporal structure of forage communities are challenging to collect with expensive fishery‐independent surveys, meaning ...
