A New Mosaic Unearthed by an Illicit Excavation in Alasehir (Philadelphia)

Journal of Mosaic Research, 2011
Mosaic floor in Alaşehir (Manisa) was unearthed in an illicit excavation. In the ruins which seem to be of a monumental building, two rooms with floor mosaic and a cellar can partly be followed.

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)

Exhumed eo‐Alpine High‐Pressure Rocks Fed Campanian Turbidites in Eastern Sardinia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the detrital record of the early orogenic evolution of the Sardinia‐Calabria system, preserved in Upper Cretaceous arenites exposed in eastern Sardinia. Sardinia and Corsica form a continental block that includes a segment of the Alpine orogen and of its former foreland basin.

Thermochemical Controls on the X, 410, and 660 Discontinuities in the Central Mediterranean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The mantle beneath the Central Mediterranean is thermally and compositionally heterogeneous, as indicated by fragmented and locally stagnant slabs in tomographic images and HIMU‐like anorogenic magmatism. Mantle discontinuities are sensitive to both temperature and composition, and thus provide a way to quantify these heterogeneities.

Singapore Water Budget: The Past, the Present, and the Future

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Urbanization and climate change profoundly impact hydrological processes and the associated water budget, challenging sustainable water management. In this study, we use a distributed mechanistic ecohydrological model adapted for urban environments to quantify changes in the hydrological budget components in response to urbanization, as well ...

Crustal Thickness Inversion From Magmatic Geochemistry Reveals Spatiotemporal Evolution and Two‐Stage Uplift of the Iranian Plateau

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic topographic growth of the Iranian Plateau, situated at the Arabia‐Eurasia collision front, provides insights into continental collision dynamics. However, the relative contributions of tectonic shortening versus deep mantle processes to crustal thickening remain debated because systematic quantitative constraints on paleo‐crustal ...

Highly Enriched and Heterogeneous Mantle Signals Recorded in Mantle Pyroxenite Veins

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Earth's mantle is inherently heterogeneous, reflecting ongoing mantle depletion and crustal recycling driven by plate tectonics. Radiogenic isotopes in oceanic basalts are commonly used to characterize mantle reservoirs, but the full chemical diversity of mantle‐derived melts may be obscured by magma mixing during melt transport and ...

Two Distinct Growth Styles of Riedel Shear Zones in Cratonic Strike‐Slip Fault System, Tarim Basin, NW China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The kinematics and progressive evolution of Riedel shear zones have been extensively studied, yet the factors controlling their distinct evolutionary styles in natural settings remain debated. Understanding such fracture network architecture has great implications, such as predicting subsurface fluid flow and assessing seismic hazards.

Campanian and Maastrichtian ammonites from East and North-East Greenland

GEUS Bulletin
Newly collected ammonites from Campanian and Maastrichtian strata in East and North-East Greenland are described. An early early Campanian fauna from Hold with Hope includes Neophylloceras, Pseudophyllites, Gaudryceras (Gaudryceras) mite (Hauer 1866) and

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...
