Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Opportunities for the U.S. Geological Survey's National Seismic Hazard Model to Improve Seismic Risk Assessment of Critical Infrastructure

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Place attachment and attitudes to landscape change for tree planting and net zero

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1280-1296, May 2026.
Abstract To reach net zero by 2050 the Paris Agreement on Climate Change recommended tree cover expansion and tree planting to support Nationally Determined Contributions. We use place attachment in the context of historical events to explore landscape change and attitudes towards tree planting.

Disentangling conservation asymmetries through socio‐economic transboundary factors across the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest of South America

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1328-1348, May 2026.
Abstract Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from ...

Local valuation of ecosystem services from protected areas along a forest–savanna gradient in West Africa

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1419-1436, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding how local communities perceive and prioritise ecosystem services (ES) across diverse ecological contexts is essential for improving protected area (PA) management. However, most studies focus on single ecosystems and lack cross‐ecological comparisons. This study aimed to explore how communities living in and around PAs in Ghana's
