Exiled From Their Own Lands: Indigenist Policies, Oil, and Colonial Plunder in 20th Century Venezuela

open access: yesThe Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the historical displacement of Indigenous peoples in Venezuela, focusing on the links between indigenist policies and the exploitation of natural resources, particularly oil, throughout the 20th century. Using a combined historical and ethnographic approach, it demonstrates how the formation of the Venezuelan nation‐state

The Life of Events: Exception and Everyday Life in Acapulco, Mexico

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The paper focuses on the event of ‘Ingrid‐and‐Manuel’—a Hurricane and Tropical Storm that hit Acapulco, Mexico in 2013. It traces what this event was and how it remains for people in and beyond Acapulco. It does so in the context of a place where the lines between events and everyday life are often blurred, and yet the event was still named ...

Dispersal Across Headwaters Determines Fish Population Structure Between Interdigitating River Systems in the Guiana Shield Highlands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The genetic population structure of riverine fishes is strongly shaped by the architecture of dendritic river networks, which can shift over both contemporary and geological timescales. Such river rearrangements are rarely incorporated into models of riverscape genetics, but they can have a profound effect on fish populations, especially when formerly ...

Integrating Satellite Data Into Meso‐Scale Habitat Modeling for Non‐Perennial Rivers and Streams

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Non‐perennial rivers and streams (NPRs) are widespread and projected to become more common, yet effective tools for their characterization and management remain limited. This study introduces a novel approach to assess aquatic habitat availability in NPRs, applied to a regulated reach of the Sangone River (Northern Italy).

Modelling Hydrological Indices at Ungauged Stream Segments to Classify Flow Regime

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Time‐series gauge data was collected at gauged points within the Colorado River Basin, Texas. Hydrological indices were then calculated from gauge data using the Indicators of Hydrological Alteration. The same hydrological indices were predicted at ungauged sites using multivariate regression and a suite of predictive environmental variables calculated

Global importance of Amazonian freshwaters

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 10, December 2025.
Amazonian freshwaters have large influences on regional and global climate, harbor remarkable and unique species, and are vital to human society. Nevertheless, as compared to their terrestrial counterparts in the Amazon, these freshwaters have received less attention from the international conservation community.

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Stratigraphic architecture of fluvial fans shaped by downstream changes in avulsion style

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 71, Issue 7, Page 2335-2357, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Natural river diversion, or avulsion, controls the distribution of channels on a floodplain and channel sandstone bodies within fluvial stratigraphic architecture. Avulsions establish new flow paths and create channels through several recognized processes, or styles.

The 2021 La Palma eruption: social dilemmas resulting from life close to an active volcano

open access: yesGeology Today, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 96-111, May/June 2024.
Damage and destruction caused by the 2021 eruption of the Tajogaite volcano on La Palma was unprecedented relative to other historical eruptions of the last century (1909, 1949, 1971, 2011) in the Canary Islands. The devastation caused by the eruption was not a result of eruption magnitude, which was only marginally larger than other historical events,
