Parallelisms between sea surface temperature changes in the western tropical Atlantic (Guiana Basin) and high latitude climate signals over the last 140 000 years [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2015
Sea surface temperatures (SST) in the Guiana Basin over the last 140 ka were obtained by measuring the C37 alkenone unsaturation index Uk'37 in the sediment core MD03-2616 (7° N, 53° W).

Changed Minds and L2 Motivation: Reflections of Japanese EFL Students Living, Laboring and Learning in Vietnam

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT English as a lingua franca (ELF) is increasingly used for communication in many EFL contexts, including Vietnam. Although Japan and Vietnam have a long history of economic cooperation, for practical reasons, English typically functions as the medium of communication between the two groups. This study examines Japanese expats who had studied or

Entangled Discourses and Realities of English: Japanese Undergraduates’ Everyday Online and Offline Language Experiences

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Focusing on the narratives of two Japanese undergraduate students, this article examines their everyday experiences of using and learning English, situated within entangled relations of power. Drawing on the Foucauldian notion of discourse, the study reveals how multiple power/knowledge systems—such as native speakerism, prescriptivism ...

Assessing relational values of sacred landscapes through text mining of folktales: Insights from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2383-2392, July 2026.
Abstract Assessing relational values of nature through its cultural and spiritual significance is crucial for effective nature conservation. Folktales offer insights into traditional relationships between people and nature, and text mining is a powerful tool for extracting information from textual datasets.

Fault Migration and Basin Evolution During Complex Rifting: Examples From the Western North Gulf of Evia, Greece

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 4, July–August 2026.
The Western Basin of the North Gulf of Evia rift is a complex, normal fault‐controlled basin. In this study we develop the first pre‐Holocene syn‐kinematic age model here and apply it to better understand rift evolution, basin control, and timing of fault migration in the active rift.

Unravelling Past Population Events in Diatoms With Genomic Based Demographic Inferences

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT The biological productivity in the Southern Ocean is mainly driven by the abundance of phytoplankton, which changes with seasons, fluctuations in sea ice and iron as well as light availability. The distribution of biological productivity is further modulated by ocean currents.

Genomic Diversity of Aurochs From a Mediterranean Ice‐Age Refugium

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The aurochs, the wild ancestor of domestic cattle, was a keystone herbivore in Late Pleistocene Eurasian ecosystems and a major prey species for Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers. Despite its significance, the genetic structure of aurochs populations that survived the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains poorly understood, especially in southeastern

Influence of Growing Season Length on Orbital‐Scale Temperature Evolution Across the Chinese Loess Plateau

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Insight in the spatial evolution of absolute land temperature is crucial for understanding the dynamics of East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) precipitation, which governs the water supply for over 20% of the global population. The spatiotemporal evolution of land surface temperatures in East Asia is however not well documented.
