Depositional Facies, Sequence Stratigraphy, and Diagenesis of Lower Cretaceous Carbonate Reservoir, Southern Iraq: Implications for Petroleum Exploration

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 312-345, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Lower Cretaceous Yamama Formation of southern Iraq represents a key carbonate reservoir within Iraq and the Middle East, yet its complex depositional facies architecture and diagenetic alterations present challenges for predicting reservoir quality.

Microbial diversity of hypersaline environments: a metagenomic approach

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Microbiology, 2015
Recent studies based on metagenomics and other molecular techniques have permitted a detailed knowledge of the microbial diversity and metabolic activities of microorganisms in hypersaline environments. The current accepted model of community structure in hypersaline environments is that the square archaeon Haloquadratum waslbyi, the bacteroidete ...

Scalable Solar Evaporator Based on Bandgap Engineered CuMnCrO4 Spinel Oxide with Salt‐Resistant Property for Contaminated Seawater

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 17, 20 March 2026.
Incorporating multiple cations (Cu2⁺ and Cr3⁺) into the Mn3O4 spinel lattice strategically tunes the electronic structure, narrowing the bandgap from 2.3 to 1.49 eV. This enhances visible–NIR light absorption and photothermal conversion, enabling a high water evaporation rate of 4.1 kg m−2 h−1 under 1 sun.

Ophiuroids Discovered in the Middle Triassic Hypersaline Environment

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Echinoderms have long been considered to be one of the animal phyla that is strictly marine. However, there is growing evidence that some recent species may live in either brackish or hypersaline environments. Surprisingly, discoveries of fossil echinoderms in non-(open)marine paleoenvironments are lacking.

Integrating Molt Migration Into Physiological Assessments of Inter‐Population Stress in a Globally Endangered Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Feather corticosterone (fCORT) provides a powerful indicator of population‐level physiological responses to human disturbance, yet its interpretation is complicated by variation across taxa, habitats, and molt‐movement strategies. Using stable isotope analyses to account for molt migrants in the globally endangered Scaly‐sided Merganser (Mergus ...

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...

Improving SAR‐Based Classification of Arctic Lake, Bay and Lagoon Ice by Accounting for Under Ice Water Salinity

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Arctic lake, bay and lagoon ice regimes play a crucial role in understanding permafrost stability, hydrology, and carbon cycling in permafrost regions. This study integrates field and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from Sentinel‐1 to improve the classification of Arctic lake, bay and lagoon ice regimes, with a particular focus on the ...

Impacts of Coastal Underground Brine Exploitation on the Depletion of Shallow Brine in Beach and Neritic Zones

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Coastal underground brine (CUB) exploitation and groundwater discharge jointly drive the depletion of beach and neritic shallow underground brine (BNSUB). BNSUB is crucial for CUB exploitation, yet its reserve remain unquantified, and the impacts of different mining models on its evolution are poorly understood.

Novel Extended Tetraether Lipids Found in a High‐CO2 Geyser

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
Characterisation of the archaeal lipidome of the CO2‐rich subsurface aquifer of the Geyser Andernach reveals novel extended tetraether lipids analogous to extended archaeols, likely produced by Candidatus Altiarchaeum, and potentially functioning as a membrane adaptation strategy to nutrient‐deprived conditions.
