Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Minor epic: Notes toward a different “Anthropoetry”
Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival

ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Abstract The Arctic warms faster than anywhere else on Earth, and paleoclimate data are key to placing this amplified response in a long‐term context. But most past temperature proxies record growing season conditions, when their biological signal carriers are produced.

In a snow‐dominated headwater catchment, snow‐dependent water storage controls silicate weathering and solute export. In the driest year with the least snow water equivalent (SWE), rates of silicate weathering and export rates of weathering products were about half and a third of those in the wettest year with the highest SWE.

Metamorphic testing faces the challenge of providing a traceable argumentation for why a certain metamorphic relation (MR) was chosen. We propose a methodology to create MRs by linking them to defect hypotheses. We identify eight defect‐based MRs and show how failures can be prioritized by adjusting test evaluation parameters.

Abstract Laminated soil carbonate rinds are a Quaternary paleoclimate archive whose isotope composition is linked to soil formation conditions. At Rio Mesa, Utah (USA), we investigated the fidelity of rind records in a river terrace setting by determining the seasonal timing of rind formation and testing for inter‐record replication.

Abstract Landscapes formed by glacial erosion have previously been classified based on qualitative interpretation of geomorphic evidence, using aerial photography and field studies. In the current era of high‐resolution elevation data, limited attempts have been made to improve these classifications using quantitative measurements of landscape form (i ...

The Energy Balance Behind Glacier Retreat: A Regional Reconstruction for Western Canada (1980–2022)
Abstract Glacier mass loss has accelerated globally in recent decades, yet many regional and global glacier models still rely on temperature‐index melt approaches that limit physical realism and process attribution. Here, we apply a glacier evolution model incorporating a physically based surface energy balance (SEB) melt component to reconstruct ...
