Assessments of Liquefaction Triggering and Manifestation at Three Case History Sites in Napier Based on 1931 Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, Earthquake

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

Validation of ShakeMaps Created From Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Velocities

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Ground velocity observations generated through a time difference of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) phase observables and orbits have been shown to be comparable to seismic recordings without clipping during intense ground motions. Computing GNSS velocities is also computationally scalable and increases the density of ground motion ...

From Observed Damage to Executable Repair Quantities: The RELA Repair Module

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Postearthquake workflows currently support three distinct classes of decisions: safety clearance through rapid tagging, portfolio‐level economic damage estimation through probabilistic loss models, and field inspections based on locally defined survey forms, which may subsequently trigger project‐specific strengthening through retrofit design. However,

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

3D effects of seawater on electrical resistivity tomography near shorelines—Challenges and possible solutions inferred from synthetic and field data

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 364-391, August 2026.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is one of the most widely used geophysical techniques for hydrogeological questions, such as investigating the groundwater transition zone between land and sea. The interpretation of 2D coast‐parallel ERT profiles is challenging because most of the electrical current flows through the highly conductive ...

Shifting the paradigm: An Indigenous knowledge‐based stewardship plan to replenish boreal caribou in Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations' homelands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2576-2597, August 2026.
Abstract Indigenous Peoples in northern Alberta, including Dené and Cree of the Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations (ACFN and MCFN), have been using Indigenous laws and stewardship principles to care for their homelands for thousands of years. Since ACFN and MCFN signed Treaty 8 with Canada in 1899, Alberta's land management policies and

Can Domain‐Informed Design Improve Neural Spatio‐Temporal Point Processes for Earthquake Forecasting?

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Statistical earthquake forecasting models, such as the Epidemic‐type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS), embed decades of empirical knowledge and assumptions about earthquake triggering, clustering, and catalog completeness. In contrast, neural spatio‐temporal point process (STPP) models often treat seismicity as generic spatiotemporal data without ...

From Risk Perception to Action: The Behavioral Forces Shaping Disaster Preparedness

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The study examines the behavioral forces spanning cognitive, social, and environmental determinants that transform disaster risk perception into tangible preparedness actions. The case study at hand focuses on Bucharest, the European capital with the highest seismic risk.
