Habitat Suitability for a Unique, Fully Marine American Manatee (Trichechus manatus) Population Primarily Depends on Presence of Submarine Freshwater Springs

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The American manatee (Trichechus manatus) requires freshwater mainly from rivers and springs to maintain osmoregulatory balance in saline environments. However, in Brazil's semi‐arid Potiguar Basin, manatees now rely solely on submarine freshwater springs because hypersaline estuaries have become unsuitable sources of freshwater.

Applying the Bow Tie Method to Evaluate Emerging Risk: The Case of Carbon Capture and Water Stress

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Emerging environmental risks are often shaped not by a lack of knowledge alone, but by fragmented information across systems, disciplines, and levels of governance. This fragmentation limits the ability of local decision‐makers to identify and respond effectively to rapidly developing technologies.

Physics‐Supervised Autonomous Inverse Fracture Modeling via Generative Artificial Intelligence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Fracture networks act as critical pathways for groundwater flow and transport, yet their characterization remains challenging due to subsurface inaccessibility and stochastic complexity. Traditional inversion methods are computationally expensive and often fail to capture fracture heterogeneity accurately.

Unraveling the Source Locations of Short‐Period Secondary Microseisms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Primary and secondary microseisms are generated by ocean wave interactions, with the latter occasionally split into short‐ and long‐period bands in some regions. The short‐period secondary microseism (SPSM) sources have traditionally been associated with nearby coastal segments, suggesting a more uniform distribution across shorelines.
