Disentangling palaeoecological and outcrop controls on MISS occurrence in c. 1 Ga fluvio‐lacustrine facies of the Diabaig Formation, Scotland

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The c. 1 Ga Diabaig Formation of north‐west Scotland preserves diverse lacustrine and fluvial facies and abundant microbial and non‐microbial surficial sedimentary features. 172.6 m of section was logged across seven localities to assess the distribution of microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) relative to lithofacies, substrate ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Observations of coastal cliff landslide runout in southern California from 21 years of data

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Runout distance from coastal cliff landslides along the coast of northern San Diego County, California USA between 2001 and 2023 were mapped and quantified. Results indicated cliff height influenced runout distance, and that 98% of maximum runout distances were less than half the cliff height.

18-years of high-Alpine rock wall monitoring using terrestrial laser scanning at the Tour Ronde east face, Mont-Blanc massif

Environmental Research Letters
Since the end of the 20th century, each decade has been warmer than the previous one in the European Alps. As a consequence, Alpine rock walls are generally facing high rockfall activity, likely due to permafrost degradation.
