Gully erosion in India: Geo‐environmental controls and region‐specific characteristics
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.Spatial statistical analyses using a novel spatial database of India‧s gully erosion landforms revealed that India has six major gullying‐affected regions, three of which (EU, DU, and KCH) are dominated by gully systems (gully networks), with badlands (vast intensely gullied landscapes) being predominant in the other three regions (YB, GP, and RU ...

Performance of hydrogen-rich materials in combination with lunar regolith for shielding against GCR, albedo, and SPEs on the surface of the moon studied using MULASSIS [PDF]
AIP AdvancesThe moon is the most likely location for future human habitation. The radiation exposure from the combination of galactic cosmic rays, solar particle events, and albedo radiation on the Moon’s surface is one of the major obstacles to permanent settlement

Remote Sensing, 2020 The Lunar Penetrating Radar (LPR) onboard the Yutu-2 rover from China’s Chang’E-4 (CE-4) mission is used to probe the subsurface structure and the near-surface stratigraphic structure of the lunar regolith on the farside of the Moon.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Understanding the interplay between micrometeoroid impacts and solar wind irradiation is crucial for interpreting lunar surface evolution. Using reactive molecular dynamics simulations and surface binding energy (SBE) analyses, this study investigates the coupled effects of these two dominant space weathering processes on lunar regolith ...

Analysis of lunar regolith thermal energy storage [PDF]
The concept of using lunar regolith as a thermal energy storage medium was evaluated. The concept was examined by mathematically modeling the absorption and transfer of heat by the lunar regolith. Regolith thermal and physical properties were established

Bio‐Inspired Swarm Robotics Design for Mine Automation
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.Ants demonstrate tandem running for cooperative haulage, and honeybees use memory‐based routes between hive and flowers. These behaviours inspire autonomous haulage robots in open‐pit mines to achieve efficient scan‐plan‐retrieve ore transport, replacing small haulage robots with large mining trucks.

Dynamics of regolith dunes on small planetary bodies [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesThe surfaces of small planetary bodies are covered with regolith which keeps evolving with time. Studying the dynamics of these regolith can explain various surface features observed in recent space explorations.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract In August 1969, intense rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Camille triggered >150 debris flows in Fortune's Cove, a first‐order drainage basin in central Virginia. These debris flows reshaped the landscape by stripping colluvium and vegetation from hollows.

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine ResearchSummit flats are low-relief, gently sloping landforms common in periglacial mountain environments. Apart from at their edges where summit flats are truncated by glacial headwalls and at their crests where isolated tors are occasionally present, bedrock ...

Regolith thermal energy storage for lunar nighttime power [PDF]
A scheme for providing nighttime electric power to a lunar base is described. This scheme stores thermal energy in a pile of regolith. Any such scheme must somehow improve on the poor thermal conductivity of lunar regolith in vacuum. Two previous schemes
