El Niño Events Enhance Melting of Sea Ice in the West of Greenland
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Using reanalysis data sets and numerical simulations, this study investigates the linkage between El Niño events and spring Arctic sea ice melt rate (AMR) in the west of Greenland. The results indicate that the accelerated spring AMR often corresponds to the previous winter's El Niño–like sea surface temperature anomalies.

Impact of Land Friction on Surface Wind Structure During Hurricane Landfall
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract This study employs a diagnostic three‐dimensional Hurricane Boundary Layer (HBL) wind model to understand the evolution of surface wind structure changes during hurricane landfall in an idealized setting. Our approach focuses on the role of dynamic boundary layer processes in governing the changes in surface wind structure.

Deforestation Impacts on Clouds and Precipitation Over Borneo Vary Across the Diurnal Cycle
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract The impact of tropical deforestation on clouds and precipitation remains uncertain due to complex interactions between land and atmospheric processes on convective and mesoscales. Here, we examine convective‐scale processes controlling the short‐term atmospheric response to deforestation over Borneo using multi‐day large eddy simulations ...

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.This review systematically examines China's Land‐based Container + Ecological Pond (LCEP) recirculating aquaculture model. It synthesizes the system's development, technical principles, and research progress, highlighting its significant resource savings (>75% land, >90% water) and high‐density production capabilities. The analysis critically evaluates

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.During the Late Permian, the rise of the Gondwanides Belt trapped marine waters, giving birth to a vast megalake. This lake shifted between overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled stages that are recorded by high‐frequency accommodation changes, while meteorological seiches shaped the sedimentary dynamic and produced heterolithic beds.

Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...
