Hydrodynamic and Sediment Response to Oyster Castles Under Wave Forcing: Insights From Laboratory Flume Experiments

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Nature‐based shoreline protection strategies, such as engineered oyster reefs and living shorelines, offer sustainable alternatives to hard infrastructure. In this controlled laboratory study, we evaluate relative hydrodynamic and sediment‐response differences among interlocking oyster‐castle configurations under monochromatic wave forcing ...

Equivalent Subsurface Thermal Characteristics for Heterogeneous Surfaces

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Land‐surface and atmospheric models often represent subgrid‐scale variability using a single set of effective properties. Estimating these equivalent properties is critical for predicting land‐atmosphere exchanges accurately, but challenging when materials with distinct radiative and thermal characteristics coexist, particularly in urban ...

Field‐Validated Predictive Model for Strain Modulus of Dispersive Clay Stabilized With a Waste Calcium Composite for Sustainable Subgrade Design

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
A field‐validated predictive model accurately estimates the strain modulus of waste calcium composite‐stabilized dispersive clay. The model provides a reliable, sustainable, and cost‐effective tool for subgrade design, reducing dependence on extensive field testing while improving pavement performance.

Detecting and Quantifying Hydrologic Change in Suburbanizing Watersheds: Role of Green Stormwater Infrastructure

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Results from a paired‐watershed BACI study in suburban Baltimore, MD showed that green stormwater infrastructure is highly effective at mitigating stormwater runoff during conversion of 13% of the treated watershed to development. The significant treatment effects based on the analysis of more than 200 storm events monitored during a 5.5‐year study ...

Pervious Concrete For Road Intersection Drainage

open access: yes, 2017
Road performance and traffic safety are highly influenced by improper water drainage system performance, particularly within intersection areas. So, the aim of the presented paper is the evaluation of pervious concrete made with two types and two aggregate fractions for potential utilization in intersection drainage areas. Although the studied pervious

Remote Sensing for Monitoring and Managing Urban Soils in Coastal Areas: A Review

open access: yesSoil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
ABSTRACT Coastal urban soils (CUS) exhibit distinct physical–chemical properties due to the combined effects of intense interaction among anthropogenic and natural pressures, resulting in a unique, complex and highly vulnerable system. While CUS are vital for the urban coastal environment and its inhabitants, numerous factors significantly threaten ...

Early‐Life Nutritional Supplements, Household Environments, and Air Pollution Associated With Children's Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Chinese Multicenter Mother‐Child Study

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Early‐life intake of nutritional additives, particularly during pregnancy and the early postnatal period, reduces the risk of Helicobacter pylori infection (HPI) in children by enhancing immune function and preventing gastrointestinal infections through proper nutrition, supporting the “(Pre‐)Fetal origins of HPI” hypothesis through the “gut–uterine ...
