Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

The Quality of Clarity: Lessons from the Sixty‐Year Struggle to Maintain the Purity of Lake Taupō

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
Sixty years of effort to protect the exceptionally clear water of Lake Taupō, the largest lake in Aotearoa New Zealand, show how environmental memory can help manage a cultural and natural resource. I describe how water clarity and quality in this lake have been protected, through managing soil erosion and phosphorus flows during the 1960s–1980s, and ...

Scene Investigation from the Sky: Current and Future Uses of Unoccupied Aerial Systems in Forensic Investigations

WIREs Forensic Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
Police drone technology could be utilized to support forensic scene investigations. If the challenges of implementing new technologies can be overcome, drones could improve operational efficiency, interpretation issues and add investigative value in the courtroom. ABSTRACT Unoccupied aerial systems (UAS; otherwise known as Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

A Deep Learning Framework for Peak Ground Velocity Prediction Using Multi‐Station Velocity Waveforms: The Taiwan Transformer Shaking Alert Model (TT‐SAM)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract This study proposes a deep‐learning–based regional earthquake early warning model, the Taiwan Transformer Shaking Alert Model (TT‐SAM). The model adopts peak ground velocity (PGV) as its primary ground shaking prediction unit, aiming to better reflect actual structural damage and thereby enhance the practical utility and accuracy of the ...

Interconnection, Obligation, Solar Power, and the Remaking of Energy Citizens on and off the Grid in California

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 2, Page 359-368, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Electricity grid infrastructures shape future publics and the contours of political belonging or exclusion, including citizenship. But in fire‐prone, more precariously grid‐connected regions in California, experiments with micro‐ and home nanogrids, subsidized by the state and built in many cases with Tesla products, provide new opportunities ...

Minor epic: Notes toward a different “Anthropoetry”

Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival
