Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

Machine Learning‐Based Analysis of Atmospheric Process Sensitivity to Land Surface Properties Over Complex Terrain

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the sensitivity of numerical simulations of atmospheric processes over complex terrain to land surface model (LSM) parameters, focusing on thermally driven circulations in an idealized valley. The sensitivity analysis is performed using the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with the Noah‐MP LSM, for forest ...

Quantifying the Rapid Propagation of Rainfall and Evapotranspiration Signals Into Soils

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Precipitation and evapotranspiration are major drivers of soil moisture dynamics, which in turn influence plant water availability, biogeochemical reactions, and trace gas emissions. However, it has been unclear whether evapotranspiration signals propagate through soil columns differently than precipitation signals do.

Frost Tolerance Increases With Plant Height Among Co‐Occurring Alpine Species in the Central Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Frost tolerance (LT50) varies greatly among species coexisting in an alpine community. Taller plants are more frost‐tolerant, reversing the expected intra‐community pattern. Evidence for a frost survival trade‐off: avoidance in short plants vs. tolerance in tall plants.
