Quantifying the Sea Level and Estuary Contributions to Changing High Water Levels in Four Major Australian Estuaries

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Coastal inundation occurs when the total height of mean sea level (MSL), tide, and surge, including subsequent propagation into estuaries, exceeds a given threshold. We developed a nonparametric Joint Probability of Maxima Method and applied to four major Australian estuaries, deriving frequency‐based exceedance thresholds and quantifying the ...

Widespread Flooding Along the Bohai Sea in October 2024 Linked to Remotely Generated Coastal Trapped Waves

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Record‐breaking flooding occurred in the Bohai Sea on 21 October 2024. During this event, coastal sea levels along the Bohai Sea abruptly rose by more than 2.0 m under calm weather conditions, inundating several densely populated coastal communities.

Mineralogical Characterization of the Lunar South Polar Region: 2. Exploring Mafic‐Bearing Targets With Optimized Traverse Paths at Mons Kocher

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Several national space agencies and commercial entities are currently targeting the Moon's south polar region for human and robotic exploration. Of particular interest are materials excavated and ejected from the Moon's largest and oldest impact structure, the South Pole‐Aitken Basin (SPA), as these ancient materials are a window into the ...

Lateral Variations in Lunar Crustal Thickness Inferred From Apollo Seismic and GRAIL Gravity Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The internal structure of the Moon is key to understanding its formation, evolution, and bulk composition. In particular, determining the structure of the crust–mantle interface (Moho), including its lateral variations, is of significant importance, but current knowledge is still insufficient to fully constrain it.

Topographic knowledge-aware network for automatic small-scale impact crater detection from lunar digital elevation models

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Impact craters represent the most prevalent and prominent topographical features on the surfaces of planets. They provide crucial insights into the internal and surface-level geological activities of planets but are difficult to identify from digital ...

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 ...

A Two‐Step Artificial Intelligence Approach for Correcting Space Weathering Effects in the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Diviner Christiansen Feature Image

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Space weathering substantially distorts the Christiansen feature (CF) observed by Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Diviner thermal infrared radiometer, obscuring the intrinsic compositional and thermophysical signals of lunar surface silicate minerals.

Modeling the Lunar Thermal Emission Phase Function With the Diviner Lunar Radiometer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The lunar thermal emission phase function (EPF) describes the anisotropic variation in observed infrared emission and brightness temperature with illumination and viewing geometry. The EPF is caused by small‐scale surface roughness below the resolution of current orbital data sets.
