How Unusual Was the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum?
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract The Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was an extreme fluctuation of Earth's climate and a potential analog for future unmitigated anthropogenic climate change, but whose cause is debated. We show that fluctuations in Cenozoic benthic foraminiferal δ13 ${\delta }^{13}$C and δ18 ${\delta }^{18}$O follow a Laplace distribution. We present a

On the Construction of Moho Reflected Shear Wave Phases From Ambient Noise
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Shear waves reflected from the Moho (SmS) are frequently identified in ambient noise cross‐correlation functions. Despite their consistent appearance across various arrays and studies, the physical origin and generation mechanisms of these SmS phases remain poorly understood.

Trend of North African Dust Storms and Potential Link to Climate Change
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Over recent decades, North African dust storms have undergone marked variability, reflecting complex interactions between regional climate processes and environmental change. Using four decades (1984–2023) of visibility‐based observational records, we examine regional and seasonal trends in dust storm frequency across the Sahel and the Sahara,

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract We investigate the 1D reflectance distribution of shallow cumulus as a function of cloud size, using high‐spatial‐resolution observations from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). Reflectance transects through clouds are compared between Inner Mongolia and Tropical Ocean.

Laser Ablation Sampling With Low‐Power Plasma: A LA‐MIP‐MS Instrument for Spaceflight
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is a commonly used ion source for mass spectrometry‐based chemical analysis of a wide range of materials. Traditional ICP ion sources use high power (> 1000 W) and significant gas flow (> 10 L/min), rendering them unsuitable for spaceflight, as they are too resource‐intensive for planetary spacecraft.

Observation of Topological Chirality Switching Induced Freezing of a Skyrmion Crystal
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 9, 12 February 2026.Using Lorentz Transmission electron microscopy, it is shown that in the insulating van der Waals ferromagnet, CrBr3, a magnetic field can cause Bloch skyrmionic bubbles to spontaneously switch their chirality. As achiral type‐II bubbles are an intermediate state, the bubbles rapidly elongate and shrink when switching, thereby inducing a freezing of the
