Kogia Records in Brazilian Equatorial and Southwestern Atlantic Oceans
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are cryptic cetaceans characterized by inconspicuous surfacing behavior, small group sizes, and deep‐diving habits, making visual detection particularly challenging. Here, we present the first broad‐scale passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) assessment of Kogia spp.

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.Seagrass meadows play critical roles in coastal ecosystems by stabilising sediments, supporting biodiversity and sequestering carbon, yet monitoring their recovery at scale is often constrained by the lack of scalable and repeatable approaches. This study applies an open‐source remote‐sensing framework to track long‐term changes in Zostera muelleri in ...

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Offshore wind energy development in China's coastal regions represents a critical pathway toward achieving carbon neutrality goals, yet accurate resource assessment remains challenging due to complex marine meteorological conditions. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of offshore wind resources in Fujian Province using convection ...

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Colombia and other tropical regions face a very high threat from torrential floods, which have resulted in over 25,000 deaths in a single event. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive assessment methodology to zone and determine the magnitude of these disasters; therefore, this research aims to help fill this gap.

Estimating the Geostrophic–Ageostrophic Transition Scale in Ocean Currents From Wind Generated Waves
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract SWOT resolves sea surface height at spatial scales where geostrophic balance may break down and ageostrophic motions become significant, making identification of the transition scale essential. We test whether wind generated waves provide an independent diagnostic of this transition.

Satellite Altimetry Reveals an Eddy Train Along the Ross Sea Shelf Break
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Oceanic circulation along the Antarctic shelf break regulates heat and material exchanges between the continental shelf and the open ocean, playing a crucial role in ice shelf melting and global overturning circulation. However, the circulation remains poorly understood due to limited observations.
