Comprehensive Investigations on the Effects of Heat on “Illite–Zeolites–Geo-Polymers–Sand” Composites: Evolutions of Crystalline Structures, Elemental Distributions and Si/Al Environments

Ceramics
This research constitutes a novel experimental approach to valorizing an industrial by-product: the ‘brick’. Studies put emphasis on the importance of detailed structural characterization of brickminerals and their chemical evolution upon heating ...

Hyperspectral Fingerprinting of Dune Sediments Across the Arabian Peninsula: Insights Into Sediment Provenance and Transport Pathways From NASA's EMIT Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The Arabian Peninsula encompasses one of the world's most extensive aeolian systems, yet the provenance and transport history of its dune sediments are not well understood. Using hyperspectral data from NASA's Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT), we mapped mineral compositions and abundance patterns across dune fields and ...

Comparison of Soil Mineralogy From EMIT Imaging Spectroscopy and Ground‐Based Measurements in the Deserts of Southern California

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The highly variable spatial composition of desert soils remains a major source of uncertainty in estimates of dust radiative forcing. Existing soil mineralogy data sets used in climate models are limited by sparse ground observations and coarse spatial resolution.

Embodied Intelligence for Soil Health toward Sustainable Smart Agriculture: Sensing the Soil with Flexible Geotextiles Sensors

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review examines the transition from rigid to flexible soil sensing technologies in the context of soil as a dynamic and heterogeneous environment. By integrating sensor types, sensing modalities, materials, fabrication and deployment strategies, and IoT‐enabled energy and communication approaches, it highlights geotextiles as scalable sensing ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Capturing Complex Rate‐Dependent Behaviors of Saturated Clays: A Fractional Consistency Kinematic Hardening Viscoplastic Approach

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 3281-3296, 10 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Saturated high plasticity clays show complex nonlinear, rate‐dependent, and hysteresis behaviors under non‐monotonic stress paths, requiring advanced mathematical constitutive equations for accurate description. Taking into account the inherent advantages of kinematic hardening mechanisms in simulating complex stress histories, this paper ...

Metamorphic Dehydration, Fluid Pressure, and the Frictional‐Viscous Transition Along Subduction Megathrusts: Case Study in Cascadia and Implications for Slow Earthquakes

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Relative plate motion in subduction zones transitions from frictional slip to viscous flow with increasing depth and temperature. The frictional‐viscous transition can control the depth extent of megathrust earthquakes and episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

Mapping Quartz and Feldspar Areal Abundance and Grain Sizes Using Integrated VTIR Data

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Mineral dust is sourced from arid regions around the globe, and its composition impacts regional and global environments by affecting radiation balance, cloud formation, nutrient deposition, and snowmelt. As such, mineral dust plays a key role in Earth's energy and biogeochemical budgets.
