Amplification of Outburst Floods During Cascading Landslide Dam Failures: Insights From Numerical and Experimental Modeling

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Landslide dam failures can trigger catastrophic outburst floods in downstream regions. During cascading dams' failure, a notable amplification in flood magnitude is often observed. However, the mechanisms and influencing factors behind this amplification effect remain unclear.

The Fate of Snowmelt: Global Partitioning Into Runoff and Evaporation

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Snowmelt is a critical component of the global water cycle and a vital freshwater source for both ecosystems and human societies. Yet the global partitioning of snowmelt into runoff and evaporation remains poorly quantified. Here, using a process‐based hydrological model (FLEX‐Global) forced by meteorological data from 1980 to 2014 and ...

Triassic High-Mg Diorites and Granitoids in the NE Pamir Reveal Tectonic Evolution of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean [PDF]

Lithosphere
The Western Kunlun-Pamir Orogen (WKPO) in the northwestern Tibetan Plateau holds crucial information on the Tethyan evolution. Until now, the subduction polarity and the assemblage processes of the Northern, Central, and Southern Pamir during the Paleo ...

Improving child mental health and learning outcomes and reducing stigma and discrimination in conflict setting: findings from a cluster randomized controlled trial of a classroom‐based psychosocial intervention in rural primary schools in Afghanistan

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 67, Issue 7, Page 1127-1146, July 2026.
Background Conflict and crises have long‐lasting and dramatic consequences on the mental health of children. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a psychosocial intervention on child mental health in Afghanistan. Methods A two‐arm cluster‐randomized controlled trial was conducted in 83 rural primary schools within three provinces of Afghanistan.

Precipitation Microphysics Over the Headwaters of the Tarim River Basin: A Striking North‐South Contrast Revealed by a Decade of GPM/DPR Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The headwater regions of the Tarim River Basin (TRB), Asia's vital “water towers,” are critical for the ecological stability of arid Northwest China, yet a systematic understanding of their diverse precipitation microphysics remains elusive.

Little Geodetic Evidence for Localized Indian Subduction in the Pamir‐Hindu Kush of Central Asia [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
AbstractGeodetically derived velocities from Central Asia show that Northern Afghanistan, the Tajik Pamir, and northwestern Pakistan all move northward with comparable large velocities toward Eurasia. Steep velocity gradients, hence high strain rates, occur only across the Main Pamir Fault zone and with lesser magnitude between the northernmost Hindu ...

Late Carboniferous Paleomagnetism From North Qiangtang Block Reveals a Multibranched Paleo‐Tethys Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The North Qiangtang Block occupies a pivotal position within the eastern Tethyan realm, and its paleogeographic reconstruction is critical for constraining Tethyan geometry and evolution. However, its Late Paleozoic paleogeography and Paleo‐Tethyan Ocean–continent configuration remain controversial due to limited reliable age‐constrained ...
