Watershed land cover predicts the abundance of macroplastic and other anthropogenic litter in streams

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Macroplastic and other types of macroscopic anthropogenic litter (AL; trash, particles > 5 mm) are pervasive across ecosystems, persistent in the environment, increasing in abundance, and can degrade into microplastics (particles < 5 mm). Rivers retain and transform AL prior to export downstream, but improved predictions of AL distribution and movement

Warming enhances protozooplankton top‐down control and nutrient competition

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Protozooplankton regulate microbial food webs through top‐down control and nutrient cycling, yet their grazing impacts under ocean warming, particularly in subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM) layers, remain poorly understood. This study investigated spatial and seasonal variability in protozooplankton grazing in the northern East China Sea ...

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 ...

Assessing drivers of habitat use by dolphins at dynamic oceanographic features to inform conservation management

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Estuaries host important populations of marine megafauna. These environments provide shelter from the open ocean alongside a myriad of bathy‐hydographic features where interactions between topography and tidal flows may enhance foraging opportunities.

Streamflow and Surface‐Water Presence Data Availability Across the Conterminous United States: A Review for Headwater Systems

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
We inventory hydrologic datasets for the conterminous United States available as of 2023, focusing on Strahler stream order one and two (headwaters). About 118 000 sites (shown here) from 72 datasets are described, highlighting the need for better integration and accessibility of hydrological data.

Differential Drivers of Thermogenic and Bulk Dissolved Organic Matter in the Indian Ocean

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The oceanic dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool contains a substantial fraction of recalcitrant carbon, with thermogenic organic compounds representing a chemically distinct, long‐lived component. However, the distribution and transformation of these compounds remain poorly constrained in the Indian Ocean, a key basin of the global overturning

Land–Ocean Pathways Linking Indo‐Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Variability to Tropical Atlantic Coastal Salinity

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study aims to identify and understand the drivers of interannual variability in coastal salinity in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. Using a combination of satellite, in situ and reanalysis data, we show how ocean‐basin‐scale sea surface temperature gradients in the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans associated with major climate modes such ...

Assessing Kuroshio Intrusion–Related Variability Using Paired Coral Cores From Contrasting Reef Environments at Dongsha Atoll, South China Sea

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Kuroshio Intrusion (KI), a northwestward extension of the warm and saline Kuroshio Current, enters the South China Sea (SCS) via the Luzon Strait and strongly influences the regional hydroclimate by altering sea surface temperature (SST), salinity, stratification, and circulation.

Spatial Heterogeneity of Salt Marsh Vulnerability to Sea‐Level Rise: Dual Controls of Hydrological Setting and Salinity Regime

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Salt marsh vulnerability to sea‐level rise (SLR) is typically assessed using point measurements of vertical accretion, neglecting three‐dimensionality of geomorphic evolution and spatial variability. Recent studies suggest links between vertical and horizontal vulnerability, with differences between oligohaline and polyhaline marshes, yet ...

Ocean acidification at the crossroads I: Harmonizing unpurified and purified meta‐cresol purple spectrophotometric pHT measurements based on absorbance data

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Consistent monitoring of seawater spectrophotometric pH on the total hydrogen ion scale (pHT) has been questioned by an evolving method, with changes in parameterization and the purity of the meta‐cresol purple (mCP). Using real seawater samples, we demonstrate that spectrophotometric pHT measurements obtained with unpurified (UNPUR) and ...
