This week in Earth, Environmental, and Materials Sciences, we feature ten papers, eight led by African researchers, all published in high-impact open-access journals. This week: sedimentary controls on soil carbonates in Botswana, wind-driven vegetation cooling in cities, seasonal water quality index stability in Algeria, and magnetic biochar for water treatment.

This week in media and journalism research, 6 African-led and 4 global studies are featured, with journals including Journalism Practice, Business Strategy and the Environment, and the Journal of Financial Economics. This week: community radio reporting on South African protests, symbolic adoption of ISSB standards in Morocco, financial regulators’ role in sustainability reporting adoption, and AI illiteracy assessment framework.

This week in multidisciplinary research: 10 studies, with 6 African-led and 4 global, across journals including Journalism Practice, Business Strategy and the Environment, and Journal of Financial Economics. This week: community radio journalists’ precarious reporting in South Africa, symbolic compliance in Moroccan sustainability reporting, financial governance’s role in sustainability standard adoption, and an explainable framework for assessing AI illiteracy.

This week in cross-disciplinary research: 6 African-led studies and 4 global studies, with journals including AGU Advances, PLoS Medicine, and Remote Sensing. This week: space weather economic risks, snakebite burden update, new amoeba species from Ghana, Lake Tana water quality monitoring, and syringa as botanical pesticide.
