Understanding Mn-nodule distribution and evaluation of related deep-sea mining impacts using AUV-based hydroacoustic and optical data

open access: yes, 2018
. In this study, ship- and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)-based multibeam data from the German ferromanganese-nodule (Mn-nodule) license area in the Clarion–Clipperton Zone (CCZ; eastern Pacific) are linked to ground-truth data from optical imaging.

A Novel Soil Chronometer: Uranium Comminution Ages Measure Soil Production Rates in a Deep Granitic Weathering Profile

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Soil production, through bedrock weathering, regulates landscape evolution, biogeochemical cycles, and societal sustainability, yet quantifying soil production rates (SPRs) remains difficult due to limited tools. Here, we present a new framework for measuring SPRs based on uranium comminution ages and validate this approach at a deep granitic ...

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 245-270, February 2026.
Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Hydrothermal dolomitisation of a deep‐water bioherm isolated in a non‐dolomitised intraplatform basin within the Norian Dolomia Principale (Southern Alps, northern Italy)

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
We propose that one of the largest known bioconstructions (the Monte Zenone bioherm) in the Southern Alps, northern Italy, and its growth on a tilted and drowned platform block of the Norian Dolomia Principale was controlled by hydrothermal dolomitisation from fault‐controlled fluids during the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic rifting phase.

Soil Organic Matter Stabilization by Polyvalent Cations in a Buried Alkaline Soil

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Buried paleosols can store large quantities of organic carbon (C), much of which persists for millennia due to isolation from surface processes that promote decomposition. Subsoil organic matter (SOM) persistence is often enhanced by mineral associations and ionic conditions—particularly high clay content and polyvalent cations—that limit ...

The regional evolution of a dryland fluvio‐aeolian and lacustrine succession in response to allocyclic forcing: insights from the Early Permian Cutler Group, Utah, USA

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 297-354, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

Reconstructing the Classical and Post‐Classical Agricultural Landscape of the Udhruh Qanat in Wādī al‐Fiqai, Southern Jordan

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The cities of Petra and Udhruh were administrative and cultural centers in southern Jordan from Nabataean through Roman and Byzantine times into the early Islamic periods (first century BCE to eighth century CE). These communities built water harvesting systems to be able to survive in this arid environment.

A Return to Chalosse Cherts: An Integrated Approach Based on Field Survey, Petrography and Geochemical Analysis to Understand a Palaeolithic Tracer

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pyrenees have been considered a natural barrier for prehistoric populations. However, in recent years, Palaeolithic research has established connections between the two sides through the analysis of cherts. Among others, the presence of Chalosse cherts in sites on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees has proven the mobility of objects and ...

The local paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 based on small‐vertebrate remains and its implications for human‐environment‐dynamics between 60 and 35 ka in the Armenian Highlands

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.
