Early deglaciation history of the southeastern Baffin Island shelf (Eastern Canadian Arctic Archipelago)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 686-701, July 2026.
ABSTRACT During the last glacial period, the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was the largest terrestrial ice sheet on Earth. Its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum profoundly influenced Earth's geodynamics and surface processes. Investigating the past dynamics of the LIS provides critical insights into how contemporary ice sheets may respond to ...

Erosion of granular sediments by submerged impinging jets: Particle size effects and cohesion onset

open access: yesAIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the erosion behavior and modeling of glass particle beds under impinging jet conditions, with a focus on particle size effects and the onset of cohesion. Ultrasonic profiling is implemented to scan and measure static crater profiles.

Advanced Functional Materials for Marine Energy Utilization

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 317-356, May 2026.
Marine renewable energy is an important future clean energy supply. We construct and sort out the material system for marine energy capture and conversion, transmission, storage, and utilization for the first time. ABSTRACT Several features of marine energy, including large reserves, sustainable utilization, environmental friendliness, make it a ...

Morphological, Molecular, and Isotopic Approaches to Termite Ecology: A Mangrove Case Study

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Termite communities in Caribbean mangroves, though species‐poor, sustain crucial decomposition and nutrient cycling. Their overlapping niches and stochastic assembly highlight termites' resilience and ecological importance in supporting the functioning of these challenging coastal ecosystems.

Weather Rescue at Sea: Recovering Historical Weather Observations From 19th Century British Naval Ships

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
We present the Weather Rescue at Sea dataset, generated from a citizen‐science project which transcribed millions of weather observations contained in 19th Century UK Royal Navy ship logbooks. This corrected and quality‐assured dataset will enhance historical reconstructions of the pre‐modern climate by providing more input meteorological data ...

Monolithic 3D Printing of Origami‐Inspired Soft Robotics from Sustainable Bio‐Based Resin

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
This work develops a photocurable, bio‐based resin from soybean oil for the monolithic fabrication of sustainable soft robots via Digital Light Processing. An origami‐inspired, vacuum‐actuated soft gripper is designed and fabricated, enabling reliable operation despite the material's lower elongation.

Experimental Study of the Effect of Displacement of Vanes Submerged at Channel Width on Distribution of Velocity and Shear Stress in a 180 Degree Bend

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2019
Shear stress is a parameter of high significance. Through knowledge of this parameter, assessment of scour or sedimentations at different points of bed is made viable.

Simulation and Experimental Investigation of Low‐Speed Centrifugal Pump Coupled With Vertical Ultra‐Low‐Head Turbine for Small‐Scale Irrigation

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
From the reviews, a new concept of a low‐speed centrifugal pump (LSCP) driven by a vertical ultra‐low‐head hydro turbine (VULHT) was designed and tested on simulation and physical setup. It was performed with a 1.8 m delivery head, concluding as inefficient. For ultra‐low‐head conditions, different than centrifugal action is recommended.
