Moving in Cycles: Explaining the Failure of Militarization to Address Illegal Mining in Ghana

Politics &Policy, Volume 54, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mining contributes to Ghana's economic growth but also imposes significant social costs—land dispossession and unemployment—which have fueled the rise of illegal mining (galamsey). Galamsey, which intensified during the commodity boom of the 2010s, provides livelihoods while simultaneously worsening environmental degradation and social ...

Enforcing environmental law in the Amazon

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2281-2294, July 2026.
Abstract This article identifies the underlying obstacles to enforcement of laws against environmental crimes such as illegal logging, mining and ranching. With four departments (provinces) from Colombia as case studies, it assesses enforcement of the country's main environmental law, Law 2111, which is one of Latin America's strongest. The article has

A Transient Coastal Uplift Event Revealed by Pleistocene Marine Terraces Along the 2015 M8.3 Illapel Earthquake Rupture, Chile

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Uplifted Pleistocene marine terraces in the Illapel area along the forearc of central Chile record spatially and temporally variable uplift rates on glacial‐cycle timescales. However, the underlying mechanisms for this uplift variability and its potential relationship with the megathrust‐earthquake cycle remain poorly understood.

The Decline of a Caldera‐Filling Glacier at Volcán Sollipulli, Chile

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Southern Andean glaciers have undergone fast retreat in recent decades. This results in reduced freshwater storage, contribution to sea‐level rise, and locally to the formation of glacial lakes, that may pose the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).
