The Usage History of the Aqueduct of Nîmes Reconstructed From Carbonate Archives: Operation, Modifications and Late Antique Breakdown and Change

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic carbonate deposits in Roman aqueducts can provide detailed environmental and archaeological information. The Roman aqueduct of Nîmes (France), famed for the Pont du Gard bridge, was built around AD 50 to convey water over 50 km to the city of Nemausus for drinking and bathing.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Designing Elastic Softening Under Compression via Dipole–Dipole Interactions: The Case of Na2TiSiO5

Small, Volume 22, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
Pressure usually stiffens solids, yet Na2TiSiO5 exhibits anomalous elastic softening under compression. Unlike conventional mechanisms driven by geometric rearrangements or electronic spin‐state transitions, the softening originates from enhanced dipole coupling along head‐to‐tail TiO5 chains.

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

Deformation Patterns and Rupture Mechanisms of the Longitudinal Valley Fault in Eastern Taiwan: Insights From Three‐Dimensional Discrete Element Modeling

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Active faults exhibit complex geometric features, with rupture processes controlled by the coupled effects of tectonic loading, fault geometry, and internal displacement heterogeneity. To elucidate the interrelationship between long‐term deformation, stress redistribution, and rupture evolution, we constructed a three‐dimensional numerical ...
