River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

High Resolution Field Observations of Shoreward Sediment Transport Within the Wave Bottom Boundary Layer on a Sandy Beach

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We introduce a data archive containing the first highly resolved profiles of velocity and sediment concentration within the wave bottom boundary layer (WBBL) on a natural sandy beach. Resolution of the thin WBBL was made possible by deployment of a unique “Multi‐Frequency Doppler” (MFDop) bistatic acoustic profiling instrument on an Oregon ...

Variation of Movable Bed Roughness in the Lower Yellow River Owing to Upstream Damming

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Significant changes in flow‐sediment dynamics and channel evolution have occurred in the Lower Yellow River owing to upstream damming. Notably, the post‐dam stage has witnessed an unexpected increase in movable bed roughness and more frequent dune development, driven by reduced sediment load, coarsened bed material, and altered hydraulic ...

Deep blueprint: A literature review and guide to automated image classification for ecologists

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1558-1585, September 2026.
A practical, literature‐grounded review that gives ecologists a clear, modular workflow for deep learning image classification. With code, GUIs and a novel deep sea case study (automated deep sea biotope classification) it lowers technical barriers and provides a usable blueprint for accelerating, standardising, and scaling ecological image analysis ...

Ocean sediments and shifting baselines—A call to revise European habitat classifications

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Shifting baselines affect the appropriateness of existing habitat classification frameworks, potentially reducing MPA integrity and efficacy. To enable representative mapping, accurate sensitivity assessments and appropriate management of marine habitats, EUNIS classifications require more flexibility.
