Nature Reviews Earth & Environment interviewed Beatrice Asenso Barnieh about their project investigating water quality in Ghana.

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment interviewed Alberto Caracciolo about their project investigating the petrology and paleomagnetism of Holocene eruptions in the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland, with implications for the ongoing eruptive cycle.

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment interviewed Hannah Whitby about their Royal Society International Exchanges grant.

Josep Bonsoms explains how integrating cosmogenic nuclide dating with glacier modeling extends glacial records, linking past, present, and future ice evolution.

Dominique Townsend explains how X-band radar can be used to detect and monitor nearshore bedforms.

Pesticide use in agriculture helps protect crop yields and support global food security, but environmental contamination and residues on food products pose risks to ecosystems and human health. This Review explores transboundary pesticide impacts of internationally traded foods, finding that fruit and vegetables have the highest embodied impacts.

Crystal mush processes are key to magmatic differentiation, volcanic system behaviour and some mineral resources. This Review discusses the processes involved in mush formation, rejuvenation and eruption, and how tectonics and crustal thermal maturity impacts these processes.

Coastal dunes are highly dynamic systems. This Review considers the foredune-building feedback between sand transport and vegetation and how their influence on foredune morphology, size and stability is affected by climate change and anthropogenic disturbances.
