A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

Viscoelastic Response of Crosslinked Rubber: Coarse‐Grained Molecular Dynamics and Time‐Temperature Superposition

open access: yesMacromolecular Theory and Simulations, Volume 35, Issue 5, September 2026.
Coarse‐grained molecular dynamics simulations reveal how crosslinking governs deformation and viscoelasticity in rubber networks. Crosslinks promote molecular‐chain orientation and preferentially carry deformation stress. Increasing crosslink density slows stress relaxation, lowers the loss tangent peak, and raises the equilibrium modulus, while stress

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Wavelet‐Based Hurst Exponent Estimation

open access: yesWIREs Computational Statistics, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2026.
The review explores how wavelet‐based methods for estimating the Hurst parameters have developed from their theoretical roots to real‐world applications in fields like biology, engineering, and telecommunications. The review aims to highlight key techniques, compare their strengths and limitations, and point out challenges that still need to be ...

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

open access: yesReviews 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 ...
