Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 2254-2341, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

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.

From Rainfall to Rumors: Interpreting the 2024 Bangladesh Floods Through Numbers, Narratives, and Information Gaps

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract When severe floods struck southeastern Bangladesh in August 2024, competing explanations emerged. Meteorological analysis revealed that extreme precipitation was exacerbated by the Madden‐Julian Oscillation and jet stream dynamics. However, alternative narratives proliferated on social media, particularly claims that India deliberately ...
