Climatic, lithologic and topographic control on alpine rock fracturing and talus evolution

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Investigating Holocene rockwall–talus systems in an Alpine valley revealed that lithologic and topographic conditions in concert with climatic‐driven stresses and time since deglaciation result in rockwall fracture patterns that control rockfall size, erosion rates and the characteristics and evolution of talus.

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.

Controls on Valley‐Floor Width in the Western Andes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract River‐valley floors are low relief, confined parts of the landscape that store sediment en route from mountains to lowlands. Transient sediment storage influences sediment budgets, biogeochemical cycles, and the preservation of environmental signals. The controls on valley‐floor width remain poorly understood, limiting the ability to reproduce

Geomorphological mapping of the Becca d'Aver deep‐seated gravitational slope deformation (Aosta Valley, Italy) based on multi‐scale and multi‐sensor analysis

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Geomorphological characterization of the DsGSD enables us to identify the sources of sediment that could be mobilized as debris flows. In the area, pseudo‐badlands morphotype has been defined and mapped, representing the main sources of risk beside abandoned quarry deposits.

Slope instability along the north-west coast in Malta [PDF]

, 2001
Mass movement processes operating along the coastal zone, north of the Great Fault are examined. Slides fall under three main categories. Rotational slides and translational slides occur in the Upper Coralline Limestone whereas mudslides are found where ...

Unpacking Climate Literacy in Science Education: What Explains Students' Willingness to Engage in Climate Action?

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 4-5, Page 393-411, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to the far‐reaching and life‐threatening consequences of climate change, science education is becoming increasingly important for preparing students to become climate literate citizens. Climate literacy, which encompasses knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to climate change, can provide a strong foundation for informed climate action.

Characterization of Mass Wasting Events on Lunar Maria Using Mini‐RF Radar Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Evidence of mass wasting has been observed on the Moon since at least the Apollo era. Surface features indicative of mass wasting processes are traditionally characterized geomorphologically using visible images. In this study, we aim to better understand mass wasting features via their radar properties, which can provide insights into the ...

Influence of Lateral Input of Sediments on Longitudinal Luminescence Signal in a River (Rakaia River, Aotearoa New Zealand)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Rivers transport sediments from mountains to oceans, shaping landscapes and transmitting environmental signals. This transfer is repeatedly interrupted by storage and remobilization, complicating efforts to reconstruct erosion histories. Luminescence‐based methods, which exploit the progressive zeroing of the luminescence signals (bleaching ...

Strong Leaders, Not Strongmen: How Concern for Polarization and Collective Nostalgia Shape Leader Preference

European Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 56, Issue 3, Page 601-621, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Political polarization is widely seen as a growing threat to democratic cohesion, yet little is known about how concern about polarization shapes citizens’ preferences for political leadership. Across four studies in the United States and Canada, we examined whether concern about polarization predicts support for strong leaders, and whether ...

Rock Face Temperature Variability From Long‐Term High‐Frequency Infrared Thermography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Changes in rock‐surface temperature generate thermal stresses and freeze–thaw conditions that can generate rockfalls. Capturing the full range of temperature variation, from seasonal variability to hourly extremes, is important, but data sets recording such characteristics with sufficient temporal and spatial resolution remain scarce, limiting
