Creating a Critical Zone: Feedbacks Between Bedrock Geology, Water Retention, and Vegetation on an Exposed Bedrock Surface, Panola Mountain, Georgia, USA

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.

Possible Pliocene loess formation caused by tectonic uplift and aridification in Central Otago, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1232-1248, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Loess is a patchy but widespread constituent of East and Central Otago (South Island, New Zealand), where it attests to extensive aerial mobilisation and deposition of fine‐grained sediment. While most Otago loess deposits formed in the Pleistocene, we examine massive, fine‐grained but clay‐altered, Pliocene beds in Central Otago that may be ...

New Li Lidar Observations and Model Simulations: A Window to Anthropogenic Signatures

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.
Abstract We present Li lidar observations in the mesopause region above Kühlungsborn, Germany (54°N, 12°E). The lithium layer is mainly formed by meteoric ablation. But lithium has a much higher relative abundance in space debris compared with meteoroids, making it a good indicator of anthropogenic influence in the upper mesosphere.

Fifty years of research on the Joulters ooid sandbody—Impact on carbonate sedimentology and diagenesis and lessons learned from an invaluable analogue

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1399-1432, November 2025.
The Joulters ooid sandbody of northern Great Bahama Bank is a vast expanse of muddy ooid sands partly rimmed by clean ooid sands and formed into a relatively thick layer of significant extent. Knowledge of the development of depositional and diagenetic patterns in the Joulters example has forwarded our general understanding of carbonate sedimentology ...

Controls on carbonate island formation and evolution: South Joulter Cay, Great Bahama Bank

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1354-1375, November 2025.
The evolution of South Joulter Cay occurs in three stages: linear ridges shaped by waves and longshore currents, arcuate ridges influenced by tidal currents and channels, and cuspate ridges formed by variable wind and wave directions. These processes are driven by climatic and oceanographic factors.

The Composition and Stratospheric Fate of Aerosol Particles Originating in the Polar Vortex

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract Stratospheric aerosol plays a significant role in the Earth's energy balance, primarily through its direct interaction with solar radiation. It is also an important chemical reactor that contributes to the multiphase chemistry of ozone destruction by halogen compounds.
