Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Catchment Influences on Carbon Stable Isotope Variation in Trout; Might It Be Methane?
Trout stable carbon isotope values vary significantly and appear to relate to catchment characteristics. Low carbon stable isotope values are linked to catchments with low drainage soil and high cover of pasture land use. This is likely to be linked to high levels of methane‐derived carbon entering the stream food web.

Using Environmental Tracers to Reduce Uncertainty in Natural Flood Management Modeling
Abstract Natural flood management (NFM) is a nature‐based solution that has grown in importance within flood risk policy and management over the last two decades. There is limited evidence on nature‐based solutions' effectiveness, and no accepted best practice on forecasting their performance. To explore NFM effectiveness, we built a hydrological model

ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...

Vulnerability of soil organic carbon in Amazonian Podsols to changes in environmental conditions [PDF]
It has recently been shown that the C stocks in Amazonian podzols are very large. They are much larger than was previously thought, particularly in the Bh horizon, which has been estimated to contain in excess of 10 Pg C for Amazonia alone.

Pedodiversity‐Based Covariates for Digital Soil Mapping Framework
ABSTRACT The integration of soil diversity as a covariate in digital soil mapping framework remains largely unexploited. However, we believe that it may carry important information that can be used to create more accurate digital maps of soil properties.
