Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 303-324, August 2026.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.

Soil Carbon–Nitrogen Pools and Soil Health Across Contrasting Land Uses and a No‐Till Conservation Chronosequence in a Tropical Guinea Savanna Agroecosystem

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon–nitrogen pools are central to soil health, yet their responses to conservation‐oriented management remain insufficiently quantified in tropical agroecosystems. This study evaluated soil carbon–nitrogen pools, stocks and soil health indicators across conventionally managed arable land (CMA), no‐till‐based conservation systems with 2,

Elucidation of the Physical Separation and Accumulation Mechanisms of Three Distinct Layers in Grease Traps

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
Grease trap performance is dominated by sludge accumulation rather than surface scum. This study reveals the mechanisms governing three‐layer formation and provides design criteria and a mechanistic model to improve grease trap efficiency and prevent sewer blockages.

Analysis of Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, and Lead Levels: Interplay of Climate, Soil, and Human Factors in Urban Gardens

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding the spatial distribution of heavy metals in urban gardens is essential for mitigating contamination risks and supporting safe urban agriculture. This study examines factors influencing heavy metal concentrations in garden soil across San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston.

Efficient Emulation, Uncertainty Quantification, and Sensitivity Analysis for a Land Surface Model Using Evidential Deep Learning

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Land surface models (LSMs), such as the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5), represent complex vegetation processes; however, systematic biases persist between modeled and observed leaf area index (LAI) because of parameter uncertainties and knowledge gaps.
