Ice Multiplication Modulates the Medicane's Track and Thermodynamic Evolution

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Medicanes are high‐impact weather systems in the Mediterranean region, associated with floodings, severe damage and human casualties. While there has been continuous effort to understand the dynamic aspects of these systems, little is known about the underlying cloud‐scale processes, which cannot be resolved explicitly, consisting a notorious ...

First Derivations of Air‐Sea CO2 Fluxes in the Central Mediterranean and Possible Impact of the 2022–2023 Marine Heatwave

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Marginal seas significantly impact the global carbon cycle. However, current knowledge on the role of marginal seas is limited, and only a few in situ data sets on air‐sea CO2 exchange are available. This study presents the first direct measurements of CO2 partial pressure (pCO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$) and derived air‐sea CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ flux

Hotels, refuge, and the rise of carceral hospitality

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Geographical work on hotels has foregrounded their role as spaces of commercial hospitality, leisure, and increasingly as sites of emergency accommodation for a range of displaced groups. Developing such work, this paper critically examines the central role of hotels in accommodating and containing asylum seekers and refugees.
