When Snowpacks Shrink: Declining Weathering and Export Rates but Rising Stream Solute Concentrations in Warming Mountains

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
In a snow‐dominated headwater catchment, snow‐dependent water storage controls silicate weathering and solute export. In the driest year with the least snow water equivalent (SWE), rates of silicate weathering and export rates of weathering products were about half and a third of those in the wettest year with the highest SWE.

Modelling the Black Carbon Variability and Dynamics in Almaty, Kazakhstan, During Winter and Summer Seasons

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
The study investigates the seasonal transport of black carbon (BC) from Almaty, Kazakhstan, to adjacent mountain areas. The radiative effects associated with BC are evaluated at the surface, within the atmosphere, and at the top of the atmosphere. ABSTRACT Large cities with poor air quality can affect surrounding areas through pollutant transport and ...

Hybrid Glacio‐Hydrological Modeling Reveals Contrasting Runoff Changes in Western Patagonia Over the 21st Century

open access: yesEarth's Future
Climate change poses a serious risk for the freshwater ecosystem of Western Patagonia and threatens glacial and non‐glacial water resources. Here, we model the historical glacio‐hydrology of 2,236 catchments across the Western Patagonia, and project ...

The Transboundary Reach of the Columbia River: Cottonwood Colonization Followed Flow Moderation From the Columbia River Treaty Dams

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 837-850, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Columbia river provides the largest Pacific outflow in the Western Hemisphere and the greatest hydropower production of any North American river system. For hydropower generation and flood risk management, four massive water storage reservoirs followed the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the United States, with three Canadian dams,

Seafloor Sediments, Morphologic Features, and Geotechnical Properties of Harrison Bay in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Sediments on Arctic continental shelves are impacted by sea ice and ice‐related processes for up to 9 months per year. As a result, seabed morphology in cold regions can exhibit features such as ice scours which are absent on lower‐latitude shelves.
