Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Numerical modeling has been widely used to assess the feasibility of geothermal energy development at sites across the world, but modeling applications simulating the potential impacts on shallow hydrothermal resources and surface water are relatively scarce. In this study, we apply the MODFLOW 6 groundwater energy (GWE) code to simulate fully

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

Thunderstorms and thunderstorm precipitations in southern Poland [PDF]
Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2014 Abstract This paper addresses spatial and temporal variability in the occurrence of thunderstorms and related precipitation in southern Poland between 1951 and 2010. The analysis was based on thunderstorm observations and daily precipitation totals (broken down into the few ranges) from 15 meteorological stations.

Observations of Electric Fields Sounding in the Mature Stage of a Thunderstorm
Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.Successive electric field soundings separated by only 6 min provided a rare view of charge structure of a mature thunderstorm. The observations reveal horizontally inhomogeneous charge regions, an unusually deep upper negative layer, and charge features that cannot be readily explained by current thunderstorm electrification mechanisms. ABSTRACT In the

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 357-367, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT The raindrop size distribution (DSD) plays an essential role in understanding rain attenuation effects at extremely high frequencies (EHFs). Over 1 year of DSD measurements was taken at different Köppen–Geiger climate classifications within the United States. Optical disdrometers from Thies Clima were used to measure both the size and velocity

Finding Fireballs in Lightning: A Daily Pipeline to Find Meteors in Weather Satellite Data
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Weather satellite data contains a wealth of information well beyond its application to meteorology. The GOES weather satellite Geostationary Lightning Mapper instruments detect millions of lightning strikes per day. Within these “haystacks” of lightning are a handful of “needles” of bolides (aka bright fireballs, or exploding meteors). We have

Soil Moisture Impact on Convective Initiation
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The influence of soil moisture on convective storm initiation remains an open question, with previous studies showing conflicting results regarding whether storms preferentially form over wet or dry soils. Here, we analyze the soil moisture‐convection relationship using satellite observations across North America, Africa, and Australia from ...

Winter thunderstorms in Poland (1951–2020)
Environmental & Socio-economic StudiesOne of the climate changes observed in mid-latitudes is the increase in the frequency of winter thunderstorms. These changes are also observed in Poland.
