Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications
Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

This study presents an integrated framework linking six foundational elements of water resources management: watershed modeling, surrogate modeling, optimization, artificial intelligence, decision support systems, and monitoring. The synthesis highlights how connecting these traditionally separate domains fosters smarter, adaptive, and data‐driven ...

Significant Coastal Dune Loss Challenges California's Climate Resilience and Biodiversity Goals
Abstract Coastal sand dunes support unique biodiversity and buffer beaches and communities against storm impacts. However, these sensitive and dynamic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by erosion, sea‐level rise (SLR), and encroaching coastal development.

Grain Size Sorting and Steady Bars Formation in Straight Channels—Part 1: Laboratory Experiments
Abstract Surface grain size in gravel‐bed rivers is inherently heterogeneous, with marked spatial variability that remains challenging to predict, even in the presence of regular bedforms. This study investigates surface grain size variability on self‐formed alternate bars at the scale of a single bar unit, and is divided in two parts.

Grain Size Sorting and Steady Bars Formation in Straight Channels—Part 2: Linear Theory
Abstract This is the second of two papers aimed to investigate grain sorting patterns associated with the formation of steady alternate bars in gravel‐bed rivers. Part 1 presented the analysis of a series of tailored experiments, performed in a mobile bed laboratory flume with fixed, straight banks. The results showed that a consistent pattern of grain

Linked Canyons and Fans Communicate Through a Migrating Bedrock‐Alluvial Transition
Abstract Net‐erosional fluvial landscapes are often treated separately from net‐depositional fluvial landscapes. Yet these landscapes are often tightly linked by means of a moving‐boundary bedrock‐alluvial transition. We consider a linked canyon‐fan system in a Basin and Range province, basing our work loosely on Rainbow Canyon and Panamint Valley, USA.
