Climate Change and African Agricultural Resilience: A 10-Year Comprehensive Review of Adaptive Capacity, Policy, and Environmental Stewardship. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT In the current era, climate change has emerged as a fundamental threat to African agriculture, driven by increasingly erratic climatic patterns such as prolonged rainfall, decadal droughts, and escalating thermal stress. This review evaluates contemporary agricultural productivity by gathering and analyzing empirical data from academic ...

New geochronological constraints on Late Pleistocene glaciation in the southern Cadí Massif, SE Pyrenees

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 1263-1281, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

From Hazard to Resource: A Screening‐Level Assessment of Glacial Lake Hydropower Potential and Development Suitability in the Poiqu River Basin, Central Himalaya

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Climate warming accelerates glacier retreat and glacial lake expansion, creating hydropower opportunities while increasing flood hazards. Despite extensive research on glacial lake hazards, assessments of hydropower potential and development suitability remain limited.

AlpIce‐1: a database of geochronological and geomorphological constraints on Alps‐wide palaeoglacier fluctuations between the Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 932-963, October 2026.
The AlpIce‐1 database is the first compilation of published geomorphological and geochronological markers constraining build‐up, culmination and decay of glaciers from the Last Glacial Maximum through the Holocene across the entire European Alps. AlpIce‐1 integrates more than 4200 surface‐exposure and radiocarbon ages, homogenized, quality controlled ...

Q‐GlaRe+: An Open‐Source Framework for Palaeoglacier Reconstruction and Equilibrium‐Line Altitude Calculation

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
Q‐GlaRe+ is an open‐source QGIS plugin for palaeoglacier reconstruction and equilibrium‐line altitude estimation. Validation against Swiss Alpine glaciers demonstrates accuracy comparable to proprietary tools. By removing software barriers and supporting FAIR principles, Q‐GlaRe+ enables broader access to glacier reconstruction capabilities and ...

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 888-895, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.

Utilizing NASA's Operation IceBridge Airborne SWE and Precipitation Products to Assess Surface Snow Over Alaskan Glaciers

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurately estimating Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) in glacierized regions is critical for glacier modeling and mass balance analysis yet remains challenging due to sparse observations and uncertainties in precipitation products. The objectives are twofold: (a) assess how well three widely used precipitation datasets—Stage IV (a radar–gauge ...

Evolution of Global Sea‐Level Rise Projections and Their Uncertainty

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract For more than 40 years, scientists have projected future sea‐level change. Documenting how sea‐level projections have evolved is vital for tracking progress, uncertainties, and future research needs. Here, we update and analyze a database of global‐mean sea level (GMSL) projections dating from 1982 to 2025, identifying five key findings. First,

Teleseismic S‐Wave Coda Autocorrelation and vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$ Distribution Over the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate characterization of the compressional to shear (P‐to‐S) wave‐speed ratio (vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$) within the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is crucial for understanding its internal structure, mechanical stability, and vulnerability to a changing climate.
