Assessing Mobility Among Inferred Elites Interred in Crypts 1–3 on Kom H at Tungul (Old Dongola), Sudan

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 409-420, June 2026.
ABSTRACT As the capital of Makuria, Tungul was a major sociopolitical center within medieval Nubia, being the seat of a bishopric and a monastic community. During the excavation of the Kom H monastery, three burial crypts (Crypts 1–3) were uncovered.

Development of Next‐Generation Flood Inundation Maps: A Case Study in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flood inundation mapping has become a critical reference for flood risk management, particularly for determining insurance premiums and formulating mitigation strategies in rapidly urbanizing areas with high population density. With recent advancements in mapping technologies and high computing capacity, high‐resolution spatiotemporal datasets

Influence of the Uncertainty in the Dam‐Breach Hydrograph on the Flood Hazard Assessment in a Valley Area

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The reliability of flood event simulations is a crucial aspect in terms of saving lives. The worst flood scenarios derive from possible dam failures. For earthen dams, the breaching mechanism, triggered by overtopping or piping, is affected by several modelling uncertainties, which propagate downstream and may influence flood hazard mapping ...

Atmospheric dust is a global nutrient source for plants via foliar uptake

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2867-2883, June 2026.
Summary Atmospheric mineral dust is a critical nutrient supplier to marine ecosystems, but its role in terrestrial plant nutrition remains underexplored due to the assumption that nutrients are acquired solely from soils via roots. Here, we demonstrate that plants directly acquire nutrients from dust through leaves, revealing an unrecognized ...

Evaluation of combined root exudate and rhizosphere microbiota sampling approaches to elucidate plant–soil–microbe interactions

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 4077-4092, June 2026.
Summary Deciphering the root exudate‐driven interplay between plants and the rhizosphere microbiota is essential for understanding plant adaptation to the environment and future‐proofing crop production. However, sampling root exudates and rhizosphere soil remains challenging due to the low throughput and destructive nature of the process.

Non‐Linear Morphodynamic Response of Deltas to Extreme Events

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Deltas, the interface between riverine and coastal systems, host ∼500 million people and function as crucial ecological nexuses. The magnitude and frequency of extreme floods are projected to intensify as climate changes, yet the potential impacts on delta morphodynamics remain poorly understood.
