Characterization of a Lava Plain NW of Ascraeus Mons, Mars, Through Surface Morphometric Analyses and SHARAD Subsurface Detections

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Martian lava plains are characterized by their extensive, low‐relief surfaces, which are the result of numerous basaltic eruptions and feature a variety of volcanic landforms, including vents, cones, pits, and skylights. The combination of these features and impact craters yields a significant understanding of the planet's geological past ...

Creating a Critical Zone: Feedbacks Between Bedrock Geology, Water Retention, and Vegetation on an Exposed Bedrock Surface, Panola Mountain, Georgia, USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.

Progress and Prospects of Research on Microhabitat Scale Characterization and Utilization in Chinese Karst Area

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Karst regions exhibit ecologically fragile environments but host a rich diversity of microhabitats across spatial scales. Vegetation productivity and carbon sequestration patterns are intricately governed by subterranean microhabitat conditions. Microhabitat‐based technologies demonstrate transformative potential in reconciling human livelihoods with ...

Modeling Seasonal Sediment Dynamics and Landscape Evolution in a Marly Badland Catchment, Draix‐Bléone Critical Zone Observatory, SE France

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Badlands are sensitive components of the Earth's surface where weathering, erosion and transport processes can be observed on human timescales. Within the Draix‐Bléone Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) in SE France, both water and sediment fluxes and their climatic drivers have been recorded for >35 yrs, making it an ideal natural laboratory to ...

Rainfall‐triggered landslides from the January 2023 1‐in‐200 year storm at Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill, Auckland, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1049-1063, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We describe engineering geological characteristics and failure mechanisms of shallow soil landslides activated on Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill in central Auckland, New Zealand on 27 January 2023. The hill is a scoria cone in the young Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF), and formed ∼60 ka BP.

Dip Angles of Mountain‐Front Facets Encode Long‐Term Slip Rates Along the Wasatch Normal Fault, USA

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.
Abstract Mountains bounded by seismogenic normal faults are commonly decorated with facet slopes: planar slopes made of bedrock, or bedrock mantled by regolith, that rise above the fault. The steepness of such slopes is thought to reflect a balance between fault slip and erosion rate.

James Buttle Review: Dynamic Water Storage Shapes Critical Zone Function in Snow‐Dominated Mountain Watersheds

Hydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 11, November 2025.
Dynamic storage in snow‐dominated mountain systems includes snowpacks, plant accessible water (PAW), groundwater and surface. We summarise recent advances in measuring and modelling these dynamic stores. Our review highlights spatial heterogeneity and time evolution of capacity and filling/depletion of these stores and discusses implications for ...

Transient Hydrology in Amazonis Planitia (Mars) in the Aftermath of the Tooting Impact

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Hydrological flows generated by meteoroid impact are still largely unexplored on Mars and may also have implications for Earth. We reconstructed the hydrological sequence initiated on Mars by a less than 3 Ma old meteoroid impact that formed the 28 km‐wide Tooting crater on Amazonis Planitia, an ice‐bearing region.

Using Seismic Refraction Data to Estimate a Relationship Between Landscape Curvature and Deep Critical Zone Structure in the South Carolina Piedmont, USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract P‐wave velocity profiles from seismic refraction reveal deep critical zone (CZ) architecture along profiles hundreds of meters long. However, extrapolating local velocity measurements to infer CZ architecture at regional scales (1–20 km2) remains challenging.
