Land Cover Shapes Altitudinal Land Surface Warming Patterns Across Switzerland

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Mountainous regions are characterized by steep vertical gradients in temperature which in turn shape land cover and ecosystems that are differently affected by climate change. Here, we show that both stable and changing land covers have an important influence on land surface temperature (LST) trends in Switzerland, based on almost four decades

Modeling the Water‐Ice Bounding Layers in the Massive CO2 Ice Deposits, South Pole of Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Recent orbital radar observations point to a massive reservoir of solid CO2 near Mars' South Pole, which contains bounding layers (BLs) of water ice. Here, we examine the impact of the water ice bounding layers on the thermo‐mechanical behavior of the MCID.

Droughts and human impact in the ancient Uaymil region of the Maya lowlands inferred from a 2800‐year sedimentary archive at Lake Kaná, Mexico

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 768-789, July 2026.
The relationship between the climate and societal transformation in Maya lowlands has long been debated, particularly the role of drought in shaping the civilization trajectory during the Classic Period. A high‐resolution, multi‐proxy, geochemical record from Lake Kaná, located in the underexplored Uaymil region of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico ...

Luminescence dating of coastal deposits from the Chanthaburi Plain, Thailand

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 846-865, July 2026.
The ongoing global sea‐level rise urges us to better understand the dynamics of coastal processes for predicting future changes. Sedimentary deposits reflect past coastal environments but require precise chronological data to place evidence into a temporal context.

Deployment Strategy Shapes the Polar Climate Response to Marine Cloud Brightening

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is a proposed solar climate intervention strategy that increases marine cloud reflectivity to cool Earth's surface. While previous studies have largely examined its global temperature and precipitation effects, little is known about how MCB deployment strategies influence polar climate and sea ice.

Controls on Valley‐Floor Width in the Western Andes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract River‐valley floors are low relief, confined parts of the landscape that store sediment en route from mountains to lowlands. Transient sediment storage influences sediment budgets, biogeochemical cycles, and the preservation of environmental signals. The controls on valley‐floor width remain poorly understood, limiting the ability to reproduce

Decadal Erosion Rates and Sediment Buffering Identified Through Enhanced DEM Differencing Using Underutilized Global Satellite DEMs

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Quantifying decadal‐scale erosion rates in tectonically active regions is essential for assessing landscape hazards and constraining sediment budgets. A key question in Earth surface processes is how contemporary erosion measurements influenced by recent climatic extremes relate to long‐term geological rates.

The Energy Balance Behind Glacier Retreat: A Regional Reconstruction for Western Canada (1980–2022)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Glacier mass loss has accelerated globally in recent decades, yet many regional and global glacier models still rely on temperature‐index melt approaches that limit physical realism and process attribution. Here, we apply a glacier evolution model incorporating a physically based surface energy balance (SEB) melt component to reconstruct ...

Reshaping of San Jose Island, TX, USA, by Unconfined Washover and Channelized Washout During Hurricane Harvey

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Hurricane Harvey (2017) produced 31 net‐erosional washout channels on San Jose Island, Texas, USA, where offshore‐directed flows cut through two dune ridges and the beach. Channel growth was affected by natural, pre‐existing aeolian topography, rather than prior washover channels or infrastructure. We investigate how offshore directed outwash,

From shape to source: sedimentary charcoal morphology as a proxy for tropical burned biomass composition

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 490-506, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary charcoal elongation is increasingly being used in paleoecology to distinguish herbaceous from woody fuel in past fires. However, the relationship between charcoal morphotypes and plant types has never been formally tested in tropical environments, despite its potential to improve understanding of fire regimes and deforestation, and
