Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.Landslide susceptibility mapping in India's Western Ghats using machine learning revealed high‐risk zones driven by deforestation, slope alteration and road proximity. The Random Forest model showed highest accuracy, supporting targeted mitigation, planning and early warning systems.

Pedology and its relationship to cropping decisions in Kamuli District, Uganda
Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Kamuli District offers an opportunity to understand pedology and cropping decisions in an area that has been underdocumented. Broad, flat summits and narrow convex shoulders are composed of residuum formed from Precambrian granite. Valleys mirror the summits, that is, broad flats composed of alluvium that are rimmed by narrow concave toeslopes.

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...
