Seismic Investigation for the Characterization of a Gravity Concrete Dam

, 2016
Monitoring of large-scale infrastructures plays an important role for public safety and prevention. The control of the safety assessment of a dam is largely dependent on knowledge of the mechanical parameters of the actual construction, as well as its ...

Advanced Functional Materials for Marine Energy Utilization

Interdisciplinary Materials, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 317-356, May 2026.
Marine renewable energy is an important future clean energy supply. We construct and sort out the material system for marine energy capture and conversion, transmission, storage, and utilization for the first time. ABSTRACT Several features of marine energy, including large reserves, sustainable utilization, environmental friendliness, make it a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
