Glacial erosion and history of Inglefield Land, northwestern Greenland by C. K. Walcott-George, A. Balter-Kennedy, J. P. Briner, J. M. Schaefer, N. E. Young

“…<p>We used mapping of bedrock lithology, bedrock fractures, and lake density in Inglefield Land, northwestern Greenland, combined with cosmogenic nuclide (<span class="inline-formula">¹⁰</span>Be and <span class="inline-formula">²⁶</span>Al) measurements in bedrock surfaces, to investigate glacial erosion and the ice sheet history of the northwestern Greenland Ice Sheet. The pattern of eroded versus weathered bedrock surfaces and other glacial erosion indicators reveal temporally and spatially varying erosion under cold- and warm-based ice. …”

Biophysical model of eelgrass and water quality in Coos Bay, OR shows greater mitigation potential for ocean acidification than hypoxia by Caitlin L. Magel, Adi Nugraha, David A. Sutherland, Alicia R. Helms, Janet Niessner, Tarang Khangaonkar, Tarang Khangaonkar

“…Ecosystem models like this are useful for evaluating complex estuarine systems because they allow us to extend our understanding of system dynamics beyond existing observations and perform experiments to identify the processes driving observed patterns. We used the biophysical model of Coos Bay to evaluate the dynamics of water quality and native eelgrass (Zostera marina) under three eelgrass abundance scenarios (zero eelgrass, current extent, and maximum observed extent) to elucidate the relationship between eelgrass and OAH. …”

Artificial slope deformation monitoring and analyzing based on SBAS technology by Xiaochuan Huang, Xiaochuan Huang, Xiaochuan Huang, Jincang Liu, Jincang Liu, Jincang Liu, Ting Yang, Ting Yang, Ting Yang, Yun Li, Yun Li, Yun Li, Lipeng Zhou, Lipeng Zhou, Lipeng Zhou

“…To address this gap, we employed the SBAS-InSAR methodology to analyze 44 Sentinel-1 SAR images spanning a highway slope region in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, integrating the slope’s construction timeline to temporally dissect deformation patterns and assess geological risks. Our results revealed a maximum annual average settlement rate of −35.69 mm/yr and a peak cumulative settlement of −28.9 mm, with deformation trends strongly correlated to construction phases—primarily concentrated between April 2022 and March 2023. …”
