Uplift Behavior of Suction Bucket Foundations in Sands: Experimental and Numerical Investigations

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Suction bucket foundations offer efficient installation and reusability for offshore wind turbines, yet their uplift behavior in sands with different permeabilities remains insufficiently understood. This study investigates the uplift behavior of suction

Dominant Controls on Preferential Flow and Their Implications for Future Soil Water Fluxes

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Soil water flow, particularly preferential flow (PF), is a critical control on hydrological and biogeochemical processes, including groundwater recharge, contaminant transport, and carbon cycling. However, it remains challenging to predict PF occurrence across large environmental gradients.

Implementation of a physically based water percolation routine in the Crocus/SURFEX (V7.3) snowpack model [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2017
We present a new water percolation routine added to the one-dimensional snowpack model Crocus as an alternative to the empirical bucket routine. This routine solves the Richards equation, which describes flow of water through unsaturated porous snow ...

Predicting Riparian Seedling Removal: A Mechanistic Scour Model Supported by Lab and Field Evidence

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Riparian seedlings growing on river bars, islands, and floodplains create feedback processes with hydraulics, sediment transport, and channel morphodynamics. For example, intact seedling uprooting by the flow typically requires some degree of sediment scour before seedling removal.

Life Cycle Environmental Impacts and Socio‐Economic Implications of Tidal Electricity Generation and Storage in the UK

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
If tidal electricity generation and storage replaced natural gas and battery storage by 2050, it could reduce the climate change impact of UK grid electricity by 71%, saving up to 4.4 Mt CO2 eq./y. Most other environmental impacts would be reduced by up to 24%. However, high costs and low public acceptability hinder its deployment. ABSTRACT Tidal range

Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications

Small, Volume 22, Issue 33, 12 June 2026.
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

Artificial light at night and invasive signal crayfish alter aquatic‐terrestrial food webs

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1740-1754, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Resource flows across aquatic‐terrestrial boundaries are increasingly affected by multiple stressors, such as artificial light at night (ALAN) and aquatic invasive species, which can alter the availability of resources for consumers.
