Forecasting marsh resilience in the Plum Island Estuary: Integrating uncertainty to inform coastal management Forecasting marsh resilience in the Plum Island Estuary: Integrating uncertainty to inform coastal management
Salt marshes provide critical ecosystem services yet face increasing threats from accelerated relative sea-level rise (SLR). The long-term persistence of these habitats depends on their ability to vertically accrete and laterally migrate into adjacent uplands. Predicting the location and viability of these future marsh corridors is therefore a primary challenge for coastal managers; one...

Release and recapture: Limited carbon mobilization in sediment adjacent to Central Atlantic Magmatic Province sills, Florida, USA Release and recapture: Limited carbon mobilization in sediment adjacent to Central Atlantic Magmatic Province sills, Florida, USA
Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are associated with dramatic changes to the Earth system; their rapid release of carbon may initiate catastrophic climatic changes causing mass extinction. This carbon release is often associated with volcanic emissions, yet metamorphic carbon production is poorly constrained. Metamorphic carbon devolatilization occurs as intrusions interact with host...

Assessment of undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources in the Niger Delta Province of Nigeria and Cameroon, 2026 Assessment of undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources in the Niger Delta Province of Nigeria and Cameroon, 2026

Community perspectives on the role of power and place-based knowledge at the frontline of gray wolf (Canis lupus) return Community perspectives on the role of power and place-based knowledge at the frontline of gray wolf (Canis lupus) return
Conflict and coexistence between large carnivores and human communities can be shaped by tolerance, or people’s willingness to absorb the impacts and benefits of large carnivores within shared landscapes. In the last decade, hazard acceptance models (HAMs) have become one of the most popular psychological models for characterizing the drivers of an individual’s tolerance of large...

dMODELS, a MATLAB software package for modeling crustal deformation near volcanic centers and active faults using Global Navigation Satellite System data—User guide dMODELS, a MATLAB software package for modeling crustal deformation near volcanic centers and active faults using Global Navigation Satellite System data—User guide
dMODELS is a MATLAB software package that implements the most common analytical models used to interpret deformation measurements near faults and active volcanic centers. This manual focuses on inversion of deformation data from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The included case studies emphasize the GNSS inversion component of the software. Source models include...

Aging of biosolids in fields prolongs the release of biosolid-borne PFAS and promotes the release of select PFCA in water Aging of biosolids in fields prolongs the release of biosolid-borne PFAS and promotes the release of select PFCA in water
Land application of biosolids can introduce PFAS into croplands. Biosolids transported to surface waters through runoff may subsequently release PFAS into aquatic environments. The objective was to evaluate the effects of the aging of biosolids and the presence of sediment on the release of biosolid-borne PFAS to water at the water-sediment interface under anaerobic conditions. Through...

Highly mobile seabirds reveal areas of conservation importance across the Atlantic Ocean Highly mobile seabirds reveal areas of conservation importance across the Atlantic Ocean
Countries have committed to expanding the marine protected area (MPA) network to 30% of the world's ocean by 2030, more than tripling current coverage, and focusing on areas important for biodiversity. For such expansion to translate into effective conservation of marine biodiversity, it must rely on the best available knowledge. Here, we analyze tracking data on > 13,000 individuals (44...

Ecological stability of zooplankton communities in changing arctic lakes over three decades Ecological stability of zooplankton communities in changing arctic lakes over three decades
In the Arctic, rapid warming is altering disturbance regimes, creating an urgent need to assess the ecological stability of these relatively pristine ecosystems. The Arctic landscape has thousands of lakes that are experiencing both gradual, persistent disturbances (e.g., warming) and increased frequency and intensity of pulse disturbances (e.g., land-surface failures). To assess the...

Thermal habitat use of lake trout in Lake Erie Thermal habitat use of lake trout in Lake Erie
Understanding the thermal habitat use of fish populations is vital for effective rehabilitation or management, particularly in the face of climate change, given limited thermal tolerances of some species. In Lake Erie, lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) rehabilitation efforts by means of stocking have been ongoing for four decades. However, high water temperatures and lengthening periods...

Assessing low-dose copper treatment for dreissenid mussels: Effects on nontarget organisms Assessing low-dose copper treatment for dreissenid mussels: Effects on nontarget organisms
Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), an invasive dreissenid mussel, have been established and caused considerable effects in many North American aquatic ecosystems. In response, copper-based pesticides have been used to manage zebra mussel populations. We evaluated the effects of a low-dose (60 µg Cu/L for 10 d) copper-based molluscicide for zebra mussel suppression on nontarget species...

Assessing a low-dose copper treatment for dreissenid mussels: Effects on zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) population Assessing a low-dose copper treatment for dreissenid mussels: Effects on zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) population
We conducted and evaluated a low-dose copper treatment (applied as EarthTec QZ) to suppress zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha Pallas 1771) veliger abundance and settlement in a 66.3 ha bay in Lake Minnetonka (Hennepin County, MN) over a 3-y period. We maintained a mean (standard deviation [SD]) concentration of 83.0 (10.3) µg/L as copper over the 10-d treatment period, much lower than...

Evidence for a polar ethane cloud on Titan Evidence for a polar ethane cloud on Titan
Spectra from Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer reveal the presence of a vast tropospheric cloud on Titan at latitudes 51° to 68° north and all longitudes observed (10° to 190° west). The derived characteristics indicate that this cloud is composed of ethane and forms as a result of stratospheric subsidence and the particularly cool conditions near the moon's north pole
