Wind Turbine Blade Crack Detection and Assessment in Images Using Machine Learning

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT As the wind energy industry matures, inspection of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is shifting from a manual process involving rope access and grading of damage, towards unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photography and artificial intelligence‐aided processing of data.

The Role of Chlorate‐Driven Oxidative Weathering in Shaping Clay Deposits on Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Oxidized clays and the widespread Al/Si‐over‐Fe/Mg stratigraphy on Mars imply prolonged water‐rock interactions and efficient oxidative weathering despite the largely anoxic conditions of Early Mars when most deposits formed during the climate optimum.

Ferric Chloride: The Venusian Unknown UV Absorber?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Near‐ultraviolet imaging of the planet Venus reveals inhomogeneous absorption features in the otherwise bright clouds. This absorption has been studied for nearly 100 years, but identification of the near‐UV absorber remains one of the largest open questions in Venusian research.

On the Origin of Summer Sporadic E Periodicities at Midlatitudes

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Summertime midlatitude sporadic E (Es) layers exhibit daily periodicities whose underlying physical causes remain to be fully identified. We investigate the origin of these periodicities by analyzing an 11‐year data set (2007–2017) comprising ionosonde measurements, FORMOSAT‐3/COSMIC radio occultation (RO) observations, and WACCM‐X neutral ...

Development of a New Generic AI Model for Spatio‐Temporal Prediction of Soil Moisture and Soil Water Isotopes

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding water fluxes and mixing dynamics in the unsaturated zone is crucial for ecohydrological studies. Yet, observations of soil moisture and soil water isotopes remain limited in spatial extent and temporal resolution, restricting modeling studies on the critical zone. A data‐driven Artificial Intelligence (AI) approach was applied in

Metal layers at high altitudes: A possible connection to meteoroids

open access: yes, 2004
International audienceIn the past, many studies have been carried out to demonstrate the influence of meteoroids on the atmospheric metal layer, observed roughly in the altitude range 80?105 km. Even with the capability of present day resonance lidars to

Depositional History of the Namibian Mud Belt Reveals Late Holocene Weakening of the Benguela Coastal Current

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We investigate late Holocene changes in the northern Benguela Upwelling System using a multi‐proxy approach on shallow shelf deposits from the Namibian mud belt. Three sediment cores characterized by organic carbon‐rich, anoxic, and partly gas‐bearing sediments were retrieved along a sampling transect at 23°S in August 2019.

A Magnetospheric Source for Near‐Planet Whistler‐Mode Waves at Venus

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The presence or absence of lightning in the atmosphere of Venus has important implications for atmospheric chemistry, potential chemical signatures of life, identifying volcanic activity, and quantifying potential hazards to future exploration missions.

Testing the Seismic Detectability of Magmatic Underplating Beneath the Hawaiian Ridge: A Synthetic Wavefield Approach

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Magmatic underplating beneath the Hawaiian Ridge has been inferred from early active‐source and teleseismic studies, whereas more recent active‐source seismic imaging and reprocessed legacy data have not identified a distinct underplated layer.
