Effects of Discharge and Morphology on Fluvial Sound

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Toward developing acoustic monitoring for stream gauging applications, we show the dependence of stream sounds on discharge and morphology in field and lab studies. Currently, there is need for innovative, non‐invasive, and low‐cost methods of surface freshwater discharge monitoring, and recording aerial fluvial sounds could be used ...

3D numerical simulation of seismic failure of concrete gravity dams considering base sliding

Modelling in Civil Environmental Engineering, 2022
The sliding of dam base along dam-foundation rock interface during earthquake excitation can decrease the earthquake response of the dam. The present study reveals a numerical simulation of the seismic failure response for Oued Fodda concrete gravity dam,

Fielding Floods for Flourishing Farms: A Framework for Assessing the Reuse of Small Flood Reservoirs as Irrigation Reservoirs

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Due to the increased intensity and frequency of droughts under a warming world, agricultural irrigation demand (AID) is likely to increase in many regions of the world—not just in semi‐arid and arid regions, but also in temperate regions. Small reservoirs have often been touted as a decentralized solution to increase water supply resilience ...

Simulation of Hydraulic Fracture Failure in Concrete Gravity Dams Under Different Loads

Renmin Zhujiang
This study investigated the problem of hydraulic fracture propagation in concrete gravity dams. A fracture mechanics model for concrete was constructed, and cohesive force units were used to simulate the propagation of fractures.

Applying a Multisector Scenario Framework to Evaluate Past and Future Public Surface Water Supply Infrastructure Strategies in Texas

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Facilitating decisions over future infrastructure transitions benefits from understanding past strategies to inform future scenario development. Here, we apply a scenario‐based indicator framework to generate plausible, spatially explicit future Public Water Supply Infrastructure (PWSI) alternatives.

Temperature field forecast in concrete dam with the use of ARIMA models and the finite element method [PDF]

, 2016
This article describes a forecasting method, with the application of statistical models Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and a heat conduction model to forecast the temperature field in a buttress block of Itaipu dam. Monthly temperature

Imprint of quantum gravity in the dimension and fabric of spacetime

, 2017
We here conjecture that two much-studied aspects of quantum gravity, dimensional flow and spacetime fuzziness, might be deeply connected. We illustrate the mechanism, providing first evidence in support of our conjecture, by working within the framework ...
