Dam Management in the Era of Climate Change

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change has a dramatic impact, particularly by concentrating rainfall into a few short periods, interspersed with long dry spells. In this context, the role of dams is crucial. We consider the optimal control of a dam, where the water level must neither exceed a designated safety threshold nor fall below a minimum level to ensure ...

After the Hype: Resilience Seeking in Emerging Technology Ecosystems

Journal of Product Innovation Management, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 793-826, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Hype often helps emerging technology ecosystems gain early support for their innovative value propositions, but the initial excitement around the technology typically vanishes at some point. This decrease in excitement and support may lead some ecosystems to fail while others are resilient and recover.

Climatic drivers prevail in montane and lowland Odonata latitudinal diversity gradients, but human modification erodes lowland patterns

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) arise from the interplay of historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes, yet these drivers may differ across landforms. Mountains, with steep elevational and climatic gradients, often sustain distinct diversity dynamics compared with adjacent lowlands, where vertical climatic gradients are weak and human ...

Socioenvironmental implications of Jatropha curcas cultivation for biodiesel supply in postmining communities

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 1235-1243, May/June 2026.
Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...

Spatio‐Temporal Modelling of Extreme Induced Seismicity in the Presence of An Evolving Measurement Network

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Earthquakes induced by injecting or extracting gas from underground reservoirs can pose a significant hazard to surrounding infrastructure and populations. Safeguarding against future seismic hazards requires accurate models for the upper tail of the earthquake magnitude distribution that are able to represent various intervention strategies ...
