A new acoustic telemetry tag that identifies carrier mortality by monitoring activity level

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1735-1742, June 2026.
Abstract We present a new acoustic telemetry tag capable of detecting whether its carrier stops moving for long enough to presume the organism has died, and of reporting the time elapsed since movement ceased. The tag uses existing environmental sensor technology together with an algorithm with user‐specifiable thresholds, and importantly, can separate

Performance of five common soil moisture sensors using default calibration equations in low‐salinity conditions

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil moisture monitoring plays a critical role in water resource management, hydrological modeling, and climate studies, making sensor accuracy and reliability increasingly important. This study evaluates the performance of five soil moisture sensors—the CS655, HydraProbe, TDR‐315N, TEROS 12, and ThetaProbe—using their default calibrations ...

Eco‐Evo‐Hydraulics: Integrating Fish Evolution Into Ecohydraulics for Conservation

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Riverine fish conservation in eco‐hydraulics is often based on restoring or regulating river habitat to a semi‐natural state. For example, ecohydraulic projects support fish populations by increasing river connectivity through fishways, and by maintaining or restoring natural flow variance to enhance habitat quality and availability.

Vibration monitoring at drill-bit and its correlation with downhole mechanical specific energy (MSE)

Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
Drill-bit vibrations are a part of rock fracturing and breaking in the drilling process, are potentially harmful to equipment, yet provide valuable insights about drilling dynamics and formation properties.

Rapid Seismic and Infrasound Assessment of Large Landslides: A Case Study From Denali National Park and Preserve (Alaska)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Large, rapid landslides are a global hazard that can occur in remote, mountainous areas. Eyewitness reports of landslides and satellite imagery can often be limited or delayed, particularly during inclement weather. However, landslide‐generated seismic and infrasound (low‐frequency atmospheric sound) waves can be remotely detected in near real‐

SuDSlab: Delivering Real‐Time Data on Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Sustainably managing water is a global issue, with rapid land use change, climate change and ageing infrastructure increasing the risk of flooding. To help mitigate against and manage urban flood risk, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), along with Low Impact Development (LID), Sponge Cities and Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD), have been ...
