Modern pollen rain of an upland area: implications of pollen dispersal for interpreting palaeoenvironmental records

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2847-2865, August 2026.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Coupling Seismic, Gravity and Magnetic Surveys for the Investigation of Planetary Lava Tubes: A Terrestrial Analog Case Study in Lanzarote (Spain)

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Lava tubes are subsurface volcanic conduits formed during effusive basaltic eruptions and are considered key targets for planetary exploration. Orbital remote sensing on the Moon and Mars has identified numerous collapse pits interpreted as possible surface expressions of underlying lava tube systems. However, the limited resolution of current
