Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...

80 Years of Coastal Erosion and Accretion in Aotearoa New Zealand
Understanding historical coastal change over multi‐decadal timescales is fundamental for coastal hazard assessment and adaptation planning. In Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), national‐scale coastal change information has historically been fragmented, limited in spatial resolution or constrained to relatively short timeframes.

From the Gulf of Guinea to the Global Stage: Africa’s Voice in the Age of Climate Intervention
Abstract Climate intervention technologies, Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR), are moving from theoretical proposal to serious policy consideration, yet the scientific communities and governance frameworks shaping these decisions remain concentrated in the Global North, while the populations most exposed to ...

Autocyclic Secondary Channels Stabilize Deltaic Islands Undergoing Relative Sea Level Rise
Understanding what sets the size and stability of deltaic islands is critical for predicting how deltas will respond to sea level rise. Models of overbank sedimentation produce an exponentially decaying sedimentation profile, seemingly incompatible with ...

The Overlooked Role of Alongshore Beach Non‐Uniformity in Short‐Term Shoreline Variability
Abstract Long‐term beach monitoring and satellite‐derived shoreline products are typically validated, and shoreline models calibrated, along cross‐shore transects. Open sandy beaches, however, are rarely uniform alongshore, because crescentic megacusps migrate past fixed transects, and their effect on single‐transect records remains unquantified.
