REPRESENTING POLLUTION AT THE AGRARIAN–URBAN FRONTIER: Participatory Documentary Film‐Making in Bar Elias, Lebanon

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 839-855, July 2026.
Abstract The Beqaa Valley in Lebanon has become increasingly polluted, and residents are attributing illness to improper waste disposal and dumping. This article explores local epistemologies of pollution’s causes and effects in three films, which were researched and produced by local residents of Bar Elias, a small town in the Beqaa, which has rapidly

Futures of Transit Work: Contesting Devaluation and Neoliberal Automation in Bus Transit

open access: yesAnthropology of Work Review, Volume 47, Issue 1, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Being a bus operator has long meant access to middle class wages, quality benefits, and union membership, forms of security increasingly rare amid growing precarity. But transit is in trouble. In the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic and decades of disinvestment, bus operators face mounting time pressure, frequent violence, and eroding job ...

Local responses to the threats of dramatic crises: do institutional leaders make a difference, and if so, how?

open access: yesDisasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study examines the complexity of disaster response management and the role of local institutional leadership. Drawing on a comparative analysis of the May 2023 floods in two Emilia‐Romagna provinces in Italy, it explores how local leadership influences the outcomes of crisis management within a shared institutional and hazard context ...

Flood Modelling Evaluation in a Semiarid Catchment: The Role of a Soil Mineralogical Index From Satellite Imagery

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July–August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean region is characterized by the occasional occurrence of intense rainfall events. Along with lithological, geomorphological, and land use factors, these events influence the hydrosedimentary dynamics of drainage basins, potentially causing torrential floods.

Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 151-163, July 2026.
Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...

Simultaneous Generation of Topographic Models and Manning Roughness Coefficient Maps From Tri‐Stereoscopic Satellite Images: Application to the Huarmey River, Peru

open access: yesThe Photogrammetric Record, Volume 41, Issue 195, July/September 2026.
Tri‐stereoscopic PeruSat‐1 imagery enables the simultaneous generation of 0.70 m‐resolution topography and spatially distributed Manning roughness maps, achieving 0.434 m vertical accuracy. Integrated into HEC‐RAS, these products provide consistent, high‐resolution inputs that improve hydraulic modelling and flood risk assessment in data‐scarce river ...

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 568-588, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Enhanced Solar Radiation Attenuation in the Arctic Shelf Driven by Warming‐Induced Terrestrial Inputs

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Arctic warming accelerates permafrost thaw and coastal erosion, increasing terrestrial material transport to the ocean. Using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data (2002–2023), we report a widespread increase in the diffuse attenuation coefficient Kd(490) across Arctic shelves since 2018, notably in the Laptev and Kara ...
