Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men: an empirical inquiry into sex‐differentiated fatalities in the twenty‐first century

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

Local responses to the threats of dramatic crises: do institutional leaders make a difference, and if so, how?

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study examines the complexity of disaster response management and the role of local institutional leadership. Drawing on a comparative analysis of the May 2023 floods in two Emilia‐Romagna provinces in Italy, it explores how local leadership influences the outcomes of crisis management within a shared institutional and hazard context ...

How Hazards Turn Into Disasters: Perspectives of Emergency Responders

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural hazards like floods, storms, or earthquakes turn into disasters if they hit vulnerable communities and societies. In policy and academia, this understanding has led to a surge of models and risk reduction policies that aim to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience.

Satellite‐Based Assessment of Methane Emissions From the Darvaza Gas Crater

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and the Darvaza crater in Turkmenistan is a rare, persistent emitter. There are uncertainties regarding its formation date (either 1963 or 1971), fire ignition, and the fire's influence on methane release. Using historical Landsat imagery, we reconstruct the fire history, identifying that combustion began ...

Observational Evidence of a Very‐Low‐Frequency Earthquake (Mw 3.8) Leading to an Earthquake (Mw 4.2): Minto Flats Strike‐Slip Fault Zone, Central Alaska

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The physical conditions governing earthquake initiation are largely unknown, particularly in the minutes to seconds preceding rupture. While there is geodetic and seismic evidence of precursory activity in the hours to weeks prior to large earthquakes, the observational evidence immediately preceding the earthquake rupture is limited and ...

Decadal Predictions of the Link Between European Hot‐Dry Compound Summers and North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract We assess MPI‐ESM 1.2‐LR decadal hindcasts (lead year 1–5) to evaluate the prediction of European compound hot and dry summers with help of North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST). Using a 64‐member ensemble and detrended data, we isolate extremes driven by internal variability.

Large‐Scale Moisture Circulation Index Related to Socioeconomic Drought and Its Subseasonal Forecast Skill in the Asian Monsoon Rainy Season

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Socioeconomic drought, which occurs when water demand exceeds available supply and often leads to water withdrawal restrictions, affects water resource management. However, the relationship between large‐scale moisture circulation and the occurrence of socioeconomic drought has not been well understood. In this study, we focused on the Yoshino

Absent Grief, Manic Undoing, and the Transgenerational Transmission of Unclaimed Experience: A Cryptic Reading of Murakami's Tony Takitani

International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies, Volume 23, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Trauma and loss constitute recurring themes in both Murakami's fictional and non‐fictional writing. In the short story Tony Takitani, Murakami portrays a father and son confronting trauma and loss in the aftermath of the Second World War and the nuclear devastation of Japan.

Beyond Privacy Calculus: Understanding Digital Contact Tracing Acceptance Through Surveillance Drift and Agency Theory

Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration, Volume 43, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Digital contact tracing (DCT) has emerged as a promising tool for controlling infectious disease outbreaks, yet its adoption has been hampered by widespread privacy concerns. Prior research studies mainly rely on privacy calculus theory. We extend this view by integrating agency theory to explain how delegating sensitive data to government ...
