Grounding‐Zone Wedge Formation and Effects on Ice‐Stream Retreat and Stability

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Ice streams deposit sediment at their grounding lines, where ice reaches flotation. Grounding Zone Wedge (GZW) deposits indicate stillstands in past grounding‐line retreat, and are thought to stabilize grounding lines by reducing local water depth, restricting ice flow. However, the mechanisms of GZW growth are uncertain, as are the effects of

Real‐Time Ground Deformation Records of Coastal Cliff Failures in San Diego County, California

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Coastal cliff failures pose significant risks to public safety and coastal infrastructure, especially in southern California. We deployed a suite of continuous geophysical sensors to investigate failure processes and precursory behaviors at three coastal clifftop sites in San Diego County: San Elijo State Beach and two locations in Del Mar ...

Intermittent Grain Activity From Grain‐Scale Collective Entrainment Rules

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In bed load sediment transport, grains are moved by turbulent flow and are in nearly continuous contact with other grains, resulting in sediment flux that is intermittent, displaying bursts of activity in both space and time. Understanding the dynamical origin of these fluctuations is a challenge.

O Levee, Where Art Thou? Measuring the Abundance of Natural River Levees Across the Contiguous USA

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Most—if not all—alluvial rivers experience overbank floods. On some rivers, these floods form natural levees, whereas on others they do not. Existing theories for how levees form on riverbanks rely on the physics of sediment transport across the channel margin, but applying them to real rivers does not yield good predictions of why one river ...
