Columnanidus calitzdorpensis ichnogen. ichnosp. nov: A new Middle Pleistocene subterranean termite trace fossil from South Africa

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 933-949, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Termites are landscape geo‐engineers whose nesting activities substantially modify the physical and chemical properties of soils. Fossilised termite nests commonly constitute the only identifiable evidence of ancient termite activity and represent valuable trace fossil archives for reconstructing past environments.

Exhumed eo‐Alpine High‐Pressure Rocks Fed Campanian Turbidites in Eastern Sardinia

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the detrital record of the early orogenic evolution of the Sardinia‐Calabria system, preserved in Upper Cretaceous arenites exposed in eastern Sardinia. Sardinia and Corsica form a continental block that includes a segment of the Alpine orogen and of its former foreland basin.

From Resistivity to Hydraulic Properties: Calibrating a Groundwater Flow Model by Integrating Airborne Electromagnetic and Borehole Data Into a Probabilistic Multi‐Texture Framework

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys offer rapid, cost‐effective subsurface imaging, yet converting their electrical resistivity (ER) models into physically meaningful hydraulic property fields for groundwater models remains a challenge. We develop and demonstrate a data‐driven workflow for an unconsolidated sedimentary aquifer system in ...

Bed‐scale quantitative discrimination of hyperpycnites from intrabasinal turbidites—Results from a channelised slope system in the Upper Carboniferous Westward Ho! Formation, United Kingdom

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1750-1798, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Features considered indicative of hyperpycnites and intrabasinal turbidites overlap. Outcrop study presented here suggests that the Westward Ho! Formation forms an 800 m high deepwater‐slope system dominated by hyperpycnites. Taking this unit, and other successions where hyperpycnites have been described, as having been deposited solely from ...

Decoupling Groundwater Trends From Climatic Drivers: Evidence of Human‐Dominated Aquifer Dynamics in a Mediterranean Island

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Long‐term piezometric analysis of 18 monitoring wells in Menorca (1984–2020) reveals that 14 wells show declining groundwater trends despite neutral or positive climatic water balance signals. Multi‐scale SPEI–SGI correlation analysis confirms widespread climate–groundwater decoupling, driven by sustained over‐abstraction rather than reduced recharge ...

Hydropower Operations Reduce Alluvial Nesting Habitat and Alter Riverine Turtle Population Demographics

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1322-1334, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydropower management has altered discharge regimes of large rivers worldwide, reducing sediment mobilization and early‐seral conditions essential for many riverine species. Spiny softshell turtles (Apalone spinifera) rely on alluvial habitats for nesting and may serve as sentinel species to assess the effects of regulated flow regimes and ...

Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 808-834, July 2026.
The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...

Longevity and Reactivation of Intracontinental Walled Basins: Thermochronologic Evidence From Western Mongolia

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 4, July–August 2026.
Permian–Jurassic tectonism produced cooling ages preserved in Mesozoic strata of the Dzereg and Dariv basins. Thermal modeling indicates mid‐Cretaceous and late Cenozoic basin inversion and cooling synchronous with bounding‐range exhumation, supporting a long‐lived source‐to‐sink relationship and persistent inherited relief since the Jurassic ...

Supercritical‐flow structures in a Cretaceous submarine channel–lobe transition zone, Point Loma Formation, California

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2026.
We document meter‐scale antidune and cyclic‐step deposits in channel–lobe transition zone (CLTZ) deposits of the Upper Cretaceous Point Loma Formation in San Diego, California. These results provide new insights into sediment transport dynamics in CLTZ environments, which are critical for understanding reservoir connectivity and heterogeneity in ...
