Weathering

, 2021
Weathering implies that what seems certain - the stone, the mountain, the ancient tree – is profoundly impermanent. Pause long enough, watch the time slip by: the stone breaks open, the seeking tide rises yet again.

Climatology of Tropical Cyclones Approaching Tanzania and Their Impacts on Rainfall in East Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Tropical cyclones (TCs) that approach Tanzania bring heavy rainfall over northern Mozambique, Tanzania, and south‐central Kenya, but the occurrence of these TCs reduces precipitation over southern African countries. Easterly steering winds and the Mascarene High are key features directing TCs westward.

Mechanisms of Shallow Rainfall-induced Landslides in Residual Soils in Humid Tropical Environments [PDF]

, 2007
Landslide mechanisms and processes, particularly within the basal deformation region during failure, are poorly understood in the current knowledge.

Rapid Uplift, yet Slow Denudation of the Suckling‐Dayman Metamorphic Core Complex in Tropical Papua New Guinea

Geophysical Research Letters
A linear relationship between rates of physical erosion and chemical weathering is apparent in slowly eroding landscapes. Whether the relationship remains linear in rapidly eroding landscapes is less clear.

Contrasting Heatwave Regimes in Dry and Humid Subtropical Mexico: A Station‐Based Probabilistic Assessment

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heatwaves have intensified under a warming climate, producing substantial environmental and societal impacts. This study characterizes heatwave regimes in two contrasting regions of Mexico using a percentile‐based threshold and a Poisson distribution framework.

An overview of excavatability classification for bedded and non bedded rock in a tropical region

Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
Surface excavation works in tropically weathered rock are often reported to be challenging due to too many uncertainties such as rock mass and rock properties, environment, selection of the best excavation method, machine characteristics, cost and ...

Relationship between continental chemical weathering trends in the North China Basin and the high-latitude glacial cycles from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Permian

Meitian dizhi yu kantan
Objective and Methods The Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA; ca. 360‒254 Ma), the only period recording the transition from icehouse to greenhouse conditions throughout the geological history, can provide a deep-time perspective for glacier-environment ...

Representation of Long‐Term Observed UK Winter Precipitation Trends and Variability in UKCP18 Global Climate Models

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Evaluating historical precipitation trends is complicated by interactions between variability in atmospheric circulation and thermodynamic forcing. This study assesses 1901–2023 UK winter precipitation trends in UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) global climate models using dynamical adjustment to separate circulation‐driven and non‐dynamical ...

Chemical Weathering and Erosional Response of Northern New Guinea to Orbital‐Scale Climate Variability

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The island of New Guinea comprises arc‐ophiolite units tectonically imbricated with continental rocks offscraped from the colliding Australian plate and contributes large amounts of sediment to the ocean. A sequence deposited close to the north shore and

A New Hydroclimatic Signature: Negative NAO Dominance Under Weak La Niña Conditions During the 2025–2026 Northwest Africa Floods

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Conceptual hydroclimatic pathway linking the concurrent negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) phase and weak La Niña conditions to extreme February rainfall and flash flooding in Northwest Africa. ABSTRACT The winter of 2025–2026 in Morocco exhibited a rapid hydroclimatic transition from prolonged drought to widespread flooding, representing an ...
