Transition Zones at the Changing Coastal Terrestrial‐Aquatic Interface
Abstract Coastal soils are a significant but highly uncertain component of global biogeochemical cycles. These systems experience spatial and temporal variability in biogeochemical processes, driven by marsh‐to‐upland gradients and hydrological fluctuations.

ABSTRACT Soil properties are significantly, but unevenly, conditioned by the landscape relief and/or bedrock. Here, we compare forest soil properties along toposequences between differently elevated areas of denuded Variscan mountain ranges and the alpine‐fold Carpathians in the Czech Republic (Central Europe). Correlating soil properties were selected

Assessment of Primary Energy Conversion of a Closed-Circuit OWC Wave Energy Converter
Tupperwave is a wave energy device based on the Oscillating-Water-Column (OWC) concept. Unlike a conventional OWC, which creates a bidirectional air flow across the self-rectifying turbine, the Tupperwave device uses rectifying valves to create a smooth ...

Spectral Refraction Modeling of Waves Around the Steep Reef at Palau
Abstract Western Pacific islands, such as Palau, are susceptible to wave‐driven inundation due to low land elevations and limited space for coastal retreat. Assessing the impacts of extreme wave events on these low‐lying islands requires regional numerical models that account for remotely generated waves from all directions and that resolve the complex

Physical Modeling of Coastal Permafrost Erosion: A New Model for Predicting Niche Depth Evolution
Abstract Permafrost coastal systems are critical to Arctic environmental processes, and understanding their erosion dynamics is essential for addressing climate change impacts. These coastlines undergo unique thermomechanical erosion, where wave action, rising sea levels, and thermal degradation jointly drive a rapid coastline recession.

A Synoptic System for Capturing Ecosystem Control Points Across Terrestrial‐Aquatic Interfaces
Abstract Interconnected landscape features such as terrestrial‐aquatic interfaces play an outsized role in biogeochemical cycles as ecosystem control points, but it is notoriously challenging to characterize these. Here, we document a synoptic sensor network design that is (a) flexible to accommodate diverse ecosystem interfaces and gradients, (b ...
