Hydrographic Variability and Sound‐Channel Dynamics in the Nordic Seas: Implications for Predicting Acoustic Arrival Structure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Warm, saline Atlantic waters and fresher Arctic‐origin waters converge in the central Nordic Seas, creating strong mesoscale and submesoscale variability that influences both hydrography and sound propagation. During the Northern Ocean Rapid Surface Evolution 2022 experiment, high‐resolution temperature and salinity measurements were collected

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 9, 5 May 2026.
Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination systems.

Optimization of Parsimonious and Synchronized Discharge and Dissolved Organic Carbon Models Across Catchment Scales

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The production, transport, loss, and export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) are closely connected with hydrometeorological drivers. While terrestrial production depends on biogeochemical variables like soil moisture, air temperature, and the contact area between water and organic matter sources, export is determined by water availability and

Design of Initial Mining Pressure Relief Scheme for Large‐Size Mining Face: A Case Study

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
The numerical simulation analysis method is used to compare the actual mining face (315 m) with the designed mining face (200 m). The results show that the large mining height working face has larger abutment pressure peak and stress concentration factor than the general mining height working face.
