A Machine Learning Framework for Objective Definition and Projection of Meteorological Seasons: An Application to the Indian Subcontinent

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Meteorological seasons are typically defined through fixed calendar intervals or region‐specific thresholds, yet such approaches fail to capture the actual variability of the annual cycle. Here we present a machine learning framework that objectively detects meteorological seasons and projects their future evolution.

Cosmogenic 10Be as a Tracer for Recent Heliospheric Encounters With Interstellar Cold Clouds and Nearby Supernovae

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Recent works suggest there are periods when the Sun encountered massive interstellar cold clouds which compressed the heliosphere to within Earth's orbit, exposing Earth to interstellar galactic cosmic rays and energetic particles of heliospheric origin.

Different Orbital Controls on Detrital Magnetic Components in the Ninety‐East Ridge Since the Late Pleistocene

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Magnetic minerals preserved in marginal‐sea sediments can serve as distinct fingerprints for unraveling paleoenvironmental evolution. However, the forcing mechanisms that govern the transport and accumulation of individual magnetic minerals at orbital timescales remain poorly constrained.
