Intrusive Magmatism, Plate Stresses, and the Cause of Orthogonal Versus Oblique Spreading Mid‐Ocean Ridges

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The origin of orthogonally spreading ridge segments separated by oceanic transform faults, versus obliquely spreading ridge segments without transform faults (TFs), is a long‐standing enigma of plate tectonics. We address this problem using three‐dimensional (3D) geodynamic models that simulate axial magmatic intrusions along two ridge ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of the Mainstem–Tributary Confluence in a Thermally Stratified Reservoir and the Effects of Selective Withdrawal

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Hydrodynamics characteristics in the mainstem–tributary confluence profoundly affect the local environment and ecology. Thermal stratification widely occurs in large reservoirs, and the need to investigate hydrodynamics of mainstem–tributary confluences is urgent. Moreover, selective withdrawal is often used to regulate the outflow temperature,

Impact of variations in solar activity on hydrological decadal patterns in Northern Italy

, 2008
Using spectral and statistical analyses of discharges and basin average precipitation rates acquired over the Po River since the early 1800s, we investigate the impact of variations in solar activity on hydrological decadal patterns over northern Italy ...

A Framework for Modeling Tropical Cyclone‐Induced Compound Flooding of the Continental US: Demonstrated in New Orleans

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Compound flooding involves the interaction of multiple flood processes (e.g., coastal, fluvial, and pluvial) and is modulated by several factors (e.g., weather, climate, topobathy, morphology, time‐lag). In tropical and subtropical regions globally, Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are a primary cause of compound flooding as they generate substantial ...

Redistribution of Basal Forces and Shielding Model for Seismic Signals of Debris Flows Over Loose Thin‐Layer Sediments

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Debris flows over riverbeds generate intense basal force fluctuations that radiate seismic signals, offering a key tool for remotely monitoring their dynamics. In steep, highly erosive mountainous channels, bedrock is often covered by a thin layer of loose sediments, which significantly reduce seismic energy.

Controls on Flow Separation at the River Bifurcation Head

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Flow separation zones are common hydrodynamic features in river bifurcations, strongly influencing flow partitioning and channel morphology. While the inner‐bank separation zones have been widely recognized, we identify a previously underreported separation zone at the bifurcation head.

DataSheet1_Analysis of combined series of hydrological angular momentum developed based on climate models.docx

Mass changes in the hydrosphere represent an important contributor to polar motion (PM) variations, especially at seasonal time scales (i.e., annual and semiannual).

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 ...

Characterization and implications of intradecadal variations in length of day

, 2013
International audienceVariations in Earth's rotation (defined in terms of length of day) arise from external tidal torques, or from an exchange of angular momentum between the solid Earth and its fluid components(1).
