Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

Research Priorities for Robust Climate Assessments in the United States

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Scientific assessments play a critical role in synthesizing evidence to support evidence‐based decision‐making in many sectors and topics. For climate change, large‐scale assessments like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United States (U.S.) National Climate Assessment (NCA) reports help many different users—from ...

Enhanced Erosion Across a Transition From Continuous to Discontinuous Permafrost in Alaska

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Permafrost degradation is expected to accelerate over the next century, with potentially important consequences for Arctic hillslope stability, channel erosion, sediment mobilization, water quality, and carbon release from previously frozen soils.

Intra‐Tessera Plains: Implications of Their Radar Properties for Surface Processes on Venus

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Intra‐tessera plains are radar‐dark plains deposits that occur within tesserae. Their emplacement mechanism(s) and composition are poorly constrained, though they are hypothesized to be basaltic lava flows. Here, we map intra‐tessera plains within 16 different tesserae spanning various latitudes and elevations.

Self‐Organization Shapes Divergent Water Use Strategies of Shrubs for Drought Resilience in Drylands

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Differentiation in water use strategies is essential for maintaining the function and resilience of dryland ecosystems. Under prolonged drought, dominant shrubs self‐organize into two typical spatial configurations: scattered with separated individuals and clumped with clustered individuals.

Mega Mounders: Burrowing Talitrids (Megalorchestia spp.) Excavate Large Quantities of Sand on California Beaches

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract High densities of burrowing talitrid amphipods inhabit beaches around the world. This includes California, where densities of more than 1,000 individuals m−2 are regularly recorded. Here, we provide evidence of Megalorchestia spp. excavating up to 10.38 kg dry sand m−2 d−1 on a beach in southern California, one of the highest mounding rates ...

Process‐Based Modeling of Coastal Dune Blowout Initiation, Development, and Stabilization

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Coastal dune blowouts are key geomorphic features that drive landward sediment transport, dune mobility, and habitat diversity, yet their conditions of formation and evolution remain poorly quantified. Using the process‐based AeoLiS model under time‐invariant wind conditions and for idealized coastal dune settings, we simulate the spontaneous ...

Dominant Glacial Control on Plio‐Pleistocene to Recent Exhumation of the Kyrgyz Range (Tien Shan)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The evolution of mountain ranges results from complex interactions between tectonics and climate, yet their relative contributions to exhumation can be difficult to discern. Previous thermochronological studies in the Kyrgyz Range (Tien Shan) attributed late Cenozoic rapid exhumation primarily to increased tectonic shortening without ...

Multi‐Temporal UAV Surveys and Modelling of Soil Erosion in the Ca l'Isard Catchment, NE Spain

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 5, September–October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates seasonal sediment dynamics in highly active Mediterranean mountain badlands by integrating multi‐temporal Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) surveys, and landscape evolution modelling (LEM) in the Ca l'Isard catchment (NE Spain).
