ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

ABSTRACT Terrigenous sediments are transported from coastal areas and shelves to deeper continental margins by multiple processes. Understanding these processes is critical for evaluating the ecological impacts of fine‐grained sediment deposition and predicting future changes in sediment dispersal under rapid climate change.

Quantitative analysis of channel characteristics of distributive fluvial systems
ABSTRACT Distributive fluvial systems (DFSs) are characterised by a radial distributive channel pattern in planform and dominate modern‐day sedimentary basins. Where aggradation occurs, such as in sedimentary basins, there is increased preservation potential, and therefore, DFSs are hypothesised to constitute a significant portion of the continental ...

On the Tropical Nature of an Intense Mediterranean Cyclone in the Ocean‐Atmosphere System
Abstract The Mediterranean basin hosts a large number of cyclones every year. Among them, some rare cases named medicanes present similarities with tropical cyclones but their dynamical characteristics are debated. The ocean‐atmosphere dynamics of Medicane Ianos (2020) are studied here through km‐scale fully coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere simulations ...

Abstract The 29 July 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake generated notable seismic and tsunami waves. The total electron content (TEC) derived by more than 1,400 ground‐based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiving stations in Japan and Taiwan is employed to examine the spatiotemporal evolution of seismic‐ and tsunami‐traveling ionospheric ...

Abstract To explore mechanisms of rupture segmentation, we invert coseismic GNSS offsets for the 2025 Mw 7.6 Aomori, Japan earthquake. Our preferred curved‐fault solution images a compact thrust rupture at 25–50 km depth with peak slip ∼2.5 m near 35 km.

Significant Rural Contributions to Severe Coastal Urban Flooding Through Flow Connectivity
Abstract Coastal cities are increasingly threatened by hurricane‐induced compound flooding. However, the relative contributions of rainfall‐surge interactions and other flood drivers, such as runoff from surrounding rural and local impervious areas, in shaping urban flooding remain unclear.

Abstract Intertidal zones of the Ganges‐Brahmaputra (GB) delta are among the most active coastal environments worldwide, and quantifying their morphological evolution remains challenging due to rapid change and scarce in situ observations. This study presents a satellite‐based direct quantification of intertidal sediment volume change in the Meghna ...

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula has been climate‐sensitive since the mid‐20th century, but long‐term glacier mass balance data are scarce. This study uses historical aerial and high‐resolution satellite imagery to estimate mass changes on the western Antarctic Peninsula (66°S $66{}^{\circ}\mathrm{S}$–68°S $68{}^{\circ}\mathrm{S}$) from 1989 to 2020 ...

Assessing Dynamical Contributions to SWOT Sea Surface Height in an Internal Tide Hotspot
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission has revealed high‐frequency sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) variability associated with internal gravity waves, yet comparison with in situ observations remains limited. Here, we analyze a mooring array beneath the swaths of SWOT Cal/Val south of New Caledonia, an internal tide (IT ...
