Stress redistribution following landslides: Insights from 3D stress modelling of mountain topography

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
We present a novel numerical workflow adapting the Finite Cell Method directly to digital elevation models to simulate near‐surface stress fields. The models demonstrate that topographic unloading via slope failure dramatically reduces localized peak shear stresses but actively redistributes elastic loads onto adjacent slopes, driving progressive ...

Minor epic: Notes toward a different “Anthropoetry”

Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival

Microbially induced sedimentary structures in fluvial settings: the gas domes from the Bolzano Megacaldera (Permian, Italy)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 914-944, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gas domes serve as some of the earliest and most persisting indicators of life on Earth, yet their documentation in continental environments remains sparse. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining gas domes within the Permian fluvial succession of Monte Luco, located in the caldera of the Bolzano Supervolcano. These structures occur as

Late Quaternary history of Lammefjorden, north-west Sjælland, Denmark

GEUS Bulletin, 2020
Lammefjorden is a reclaimed fjord in north-west Sjælland, Denmark. Sediment cores from the area were collected to study its development after the last deglaciation, in particular the sea-level history.

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 3999-4015, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Turning Mediterranean Farmlands Into Priority Habitats: Natural Expansion of Juniper Woodlands After Agricultural Abandonment

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Spanish juniper woodlands are expanding across central Spain as farmland is abandoned. By combining 34 years of land‐cover data with high‐resolution photogrammetry and field measurements, we show that juniper growth depends on topography, solar exposure and competition with shrubs. High irradiance increases biomass in older stands but limits young ones,

Enhancing Environmental Conservation in Recreational Sports Tourism From a Shared‐Responsibility Perspective: A Qualitative Study of Recreational Kayaking in Hong Kong

International Journal of Tourism Research, Volume 28, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive literature on the demand for recreational sports tourism, more research is needed on stakeholders' shared responsibilities for environmental conservation. To address this gap, this study proposed an extended conceptualization of shared responsibility, examining stakeholders' perceptions, expectations and interactions in ...
