The record-breaking precipitation event of December 2022 in Portugal by T. M. Ferreira, T. M. Ferreira, R. M. Trigo, T. H. Gaspar, J. G. Pinto, A. M. Ramos

“…The week before the EPE, there was a combined effect of a large-scale sea-level-pressure (SLP) gradient resembling the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) negative phase, a southerly position of the jet stream, and above-normal positive sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the North Atlantic that led to the development of several low-pressure systems at relatively low latitudes, all traveling along the same mean path towards western Europe. …”

Contributions to Architectural and Urban Resilience Through Vulnerability Assessment: The Case of Mozambique Island’s World Heritage by Susana Milão, Telma Ribeiro, Mariana Correia, Isabel Clara Neves, Joaquim Flores, Olga Alvarez

“…Historical maps and topographical analysis demonstrate how the island’s geography has shaped its urban development, with the Stone and Lime town built on higher ground and the Macuti town situated at or below sea level, increasing its flood risk. The research highlights the importance of integrating traditional knowledge with resilience strategies while respecting the authenticity and integrity of the World Heritage property. …”

Elevational ranges of pioneer marsh species are site specific and likely shaped by different abiotic and biotic factors by Charlotte S. Steinigeweg, Ole J. Siebeneicher, Boris Schröder, Michael Kleyer, Kertu Lõhmus, Swantje Löbel

“…In the foremost (pioneer) zone, vegetation must cope with nonoptimal environmental conditions due to strong impacts of hydrodynamic forces and sedimentation and is threatened by climate change–induced sea level rise or increased storminess. To test the hypothesis that species have different elevational ranges, which are shaped by local abiotic conditions and biotic interactions, salt marsh species occurrences and covers were recorded along 65 seaward–landward transects at two study sites on the back‐barrier island Spiekeroog in the German Wadden Sea, differing in topography, site age, and history. …”

Les changements hydromorphologiques de l’estuaire de la Loire et l’évolution du port de Rezé/Ratiatum (Loire-Atlantique) by Rémy Arthuis

“…At that time, the marine influences which were dominating the Loire valley in Nantes, then a veritable ria, retreated after a slowing down of the sea level rise and gave way to a conquering river which incised the arms of Pirmil and the Madeleine. …”

Integrating wide-swath altimetry data into Level-4 multi-mission maps by M. Ballarotta, C. Ubelmann, V. Bellemin-Laponnaz, F. Le Guillou, G. Meda, C. Anadon, A. Laloue, A. Delepoulle, Y. Faugère, M.-I. Pujol, R. Fablet, G. Dibarboure

“…Consequently, integrating high-resolution ocean surface topography observations with advanced mapping techniques can enhance the resolution of satellite-derived products, providing promising solutions for studying and monitoring sea-level variability at finer scales. However, to fully exploit SWOT's capabilities, future research will need to focus on innovations in data gridding and assimilation to extend mapping beyond geostrophically balanced flows.…”

Sedimentary architecture of the microbial mound–shoal complex: a case study of the Ediacaran Dengying Formation, Sichuan Basin, China by Qinyu Xia, Zhenhua Guo, Fei Zhang, Lin Zhang, Rui Xu, Xue Wang, Wenzheng Li, Shuyuan Shi, Haijun Yan, Yuyang Liu

“…The stacking styles of MMSCs are fundamentally controlled by the relationship between MMSC sedimentation rates and variations in accommodation space, with the latter predominantly influenced by fluctuations in sea level. Superimposed MMSC sedimentation rates are comparable to accommodation space change rates, while migratory MMSC sedimentation rates exceed accommodation space change rates, and isolated MMSC sedimentation rates are lower than accommodation space change rates. …”

Assessing dynamic coastal vulnerability to climate hazards: A geospatial approach in Kakinada District, Andhra Pradesh, India by Ganni Satya Venkata Sai Aditya Bharadwaz, Indrajit Pal, Chitrini Mozumder, Mokbul Morshed Ahmad

“…Significant coastal erosion was identified, with shoreline changes ranging from 604.35 to 1016.25 m over the past two decades, particularly in the southern district. Sea level rise was a critical factor, especially in Kajuluru and Thallarevu, and rapid population growth and urban development exacerbated vulnerability by reducing vegetation cover and increasing built-up areas. …”

Diversity and Distribution of <i>Phytophthora</i> Species Along an Elevation Gradient in Natural and Semi-Natural Forest Ecosystems in Portugal by Carlo Bregant, Eduardo Batista, Sandra Hilário, Benedetto Teodoro Linaldeddu, Artur Alves

“…Overall, the data obtained highlight the widespread occurrence of <i>P. cinnamomi</i> in natural ecosystems from sea level to mountain habitats. The results of the pathogenicity tests carried out on 2-year-old chestnut plants confirmed the key role of <i>P. cinnamomi</i> in the recrudescence of chestnut ink disease and the additional risk posed by <i>P. pachypleura</i>, <i>P. plurivora</i>, and <i>P. multivora</i> to Portuguese chestnut forests. …”
