Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...

Drowned carbonate‐rimmed margin controlling shelf‐edge delta progradation and sedimentation dynamics: Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Formation, Texas, USA

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shelf‐edge deltas are commonly interpreted to record basinward facies migration across uninterrupted, gently dipping shelf margins; however, examples from mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins reveal more complex depositional dynamics. Periods and areas of carbonate sedimentation within mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins can modify shelf ...

Spatial and temporal evolution of a coastal erg margin: The Middle Jurassic Page Sandstone, southern Utah, USA

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2081-2119, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aeolian deflationary events are erosive to static stages where sediment supply is insufficient to support bedform migration and preservation in the rock record. In the vicinity of shallow‐marine environments, inland rises of relative water table and associated generation of deflationary super surfaces may be driven by the onset of ...

Outcrop and subsurface characterisation of a mixed tidal and wave‐influenced coastline (Triassic Red Beds, SE Spain)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2381-2416, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Paralic depositional systems are complex and heterogeneous sedimentary environments, presenting challenges for predicting reservoir architecture and connectivity. Their stratigraphic and facies variability arises from the dynamic interplay between fluvial, tidal and wave processes, and their sensitivity to sea‐level fluctuations, sediment ...

A Stochastic Approach for Recovery Times of Coastal Dune Vegetation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract The resilience of coastal dunes to environmental stress largely depends on vegetation recovery, which promotes sediment trapping and sand stabilization. However, post‐disturbance recovery dynamics remain difficult to quantify due to the complex interplay between biotic and abiotic processes.

Sedimentary facies and stacking patterns of fluvio‐deltaic and ‐estuarine deposits from the Palaeoarchean Moodies Group in the Stolzburg Syncline (Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa)

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
Drillcore BASE‐5B from the Stolzburg Syncline, Barberton Greenstone Belt, reveals a coarsening‐upward, river‐dominated fluvio‐deltaic succession transitioning upward to a fining‐upward, tide‐dominated‐estuarine succession. Abstract Investigating fluvio‐marine depositional environments from early geological times is of great importance, as they provide ...

Linking Landscapes, Flood Risks and Communities: Flood Susceptibility Assessment of Connemara and Aaran Islands, Galway, Ireland

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Atlantic‐facing coastal communities of western Ireland face recurrent flood hazards driven by intense precipitation, storm surges, and tidal influences. Existing national flood mapping efforts provide valuable hydrodynamic simulations but rarely integrate multi‐criteria decision analysis with data‐driven machine learning to capture local‐scale

Dune grass production is positively associated with marine nutrient subsidies on US Central Atlantic coast foredunes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Resource subsidies, or the flow of energy across ecosystem boundaries, can influence community structure and function and act as important nutrient sources to less productive ecosystems, particularly in marine and coastal zones. Coastal dunes, connected to the nearshore through sandy beaches, likely depend on the delivery of marine subsidies ...

Assessing naturalness of coastal dune ecosystems through community (citizen) science: A protocol for Mediterranean beaches

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
A standardized citizen science protocol enabled trained secondary school students to collect reliable data on beach and coastal dune naturalness across Italy. The method provides a scalable and cost‐effective tool to support ecological assessment, identify vulnerable sites and inform coastal conservation and management.
