Volcanic ash beds in the Waikato district [PDF]

, 1967
This report lies somewhere between the "pathfinder" variety and the completed account for the reason that the results of detailed mapping and identification are still being prepared for publication. For the younger beds less than 36,000 years we now know

Developing and deploying an unmanned aerial system–based phenotyping program for maturity to support soybean breeding

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties are categorized into different relative maturity groups (MGs) that correspond to the approximate region that the variety is best adapted. Maturity is an important trait that growers consider when deciding which varieties to plant and for breeders as a covariate to compare genotypes.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Ages on weathered Plio-Pleistocene tephra sequences, western North Island, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2001
Using the zircon fission-track method, we have obtained five ages on members of two strongly-weathered silicic, Pliocene-Pleistocene tephra sequences, the Kauroa and Hamilton Ash formations, in western North Island, New Zealand.

Snapshots of Motion: A Novel Structural Intermediate Reveals Conserved Dynamics in Archaeal DNA Ligases

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 6, Page 1245-1258, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We present the first x‐ray crystallographic structural evidence of an archaeal DNA ligase showing the AMP covalent adduct together with further cofactor hydrolysis, capturing a transient intermediary in the first step of the ligation reaction, triggered by the pyrophosphate hydrolysis.

Contrasting Orbital Rhythms Preserved in Loess Grain-Size Records Across the Chinese Loess Plateau

Global and Planetary Change
The loess-paleosol sequences on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) are among the best terrestrial archives for recording orbital-scale global paleoenvironmental and East Asian monsoon changes during the Quaternary Period. Dust provenance and climate patterns vary across the CLP due to its vast size.

Differences in Phenological Estimation From Multi‐Vegetation Indices Across the Yellow River Basin

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study evaluated the differential performance of PPI, kNDVI, and EVI in monitoring land surface phenology across the Yellow River Basin. The three vegetation indices showed pronounced divergence in capturing autumn phenological metrics, particularly the downturn date (DD) and recession date (RD).
