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. …”

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. …”

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. …”
