Giant Porphyry Copper Deposits Caused by a Slab Jamming in the Mantle Transition Zone
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Two giant porphyry copper deposits in the Southern Central Andes formed during the Miocene–Pliocene transition when a bend in the subducting Juan de Fernández hotspot chain jammed in the mantle transition zone, causing mega‐scale slab‐kinking. This geometry implies mechanical resistance that caused East–West compression and eventually a thrust‐

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Paludomidae is a diverse family of limnic gastropods in the Cerithioidea, with a distribution range including most of tropical sub‐Saharan Africa, the Nile Valley, Madagascar, the Seychelles, as well as South and Southeast Asia. Its systematics and taxonomy are currently in a state of confusion, with Thailand being inhabited by probably two ...

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most critical natural hazards threatening livelihoods, infrastructure, and ecological systems in Ethiopia's highland landscapes. This study presents a rigorously integrated, multi‐criteria flood risk assessment that combines the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with GIS‐based spatial modeling to delineate ...

Evolution of midplate hotspot swells: Numerical solutions [PDF]
The evolution of midplate hotspot swells on an oceanic plate moving over a hot, upwelling mantle plume is numerically simulated. The plume supplies a Gaussian-shaped thermal perturbation and thermally-induced dynamic support.

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.
