Land Use Transformation and Climate Resilience in Smart Cities: Role of ICT in Modern Urban Planning

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9144-9154, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Modern urban planning is experiencing a transition from traditional planning to the integration of information technology, which defines the concept of a “smart city”. The study analyses the evolution of urban planning practices with an emphasis on the role of engineering and architecture in the process of urbanization, the transition to the ...

Smallholder Fish Farmers’ Preferences for Climate‐Smart Aquaculture Practices in Kakamega County, Kenya: A Latent Class Approach

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture, identified as a critical sector to bridge the fish supply gap, remains extensively vulnerable to the vagaries of climate change. In efforts to achieve a “triple win” effect on increased productivity, enhanced resilience and reduced emissions, climate‐smart aquaculture (CSAq) practices have been developed for implementation ...

Modelling Flood‐Induced Riparian Vegetation Disturbance and Hydro‐Morphodynamic Feedbacks

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
A process‐based framework links flood‐induced vegetation disturbance to hydro‐morphodynamic feedback by separating mechanical failure from postfailure outcomes, explaining spatial distribution patterns of washout, burial and localized embankment erosion during the 2019 Chikuma River flood.

Field Studies on the Influence of High‐Voltage Direct Transmission Underground Cables on Soils Along the SuedLink Route in Southwest Germany

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 479-498, August 2026.
During regular operation of the SuedLink at a load ≤75 %, the average increase in temperature in the plowing horizon is expected to be less than 1.6°C in the soils along the route in Southwest Germany. ABSTRACT Background The SuedLink was planned as a high‐voltage direct‐current underground cable route. The construction itself is a massive intervention

Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 303-324, August 2026.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.

Nonlinear Kinematic Depth Inversion Coupled With a Spectral Wave Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a bidirectional coupling between a nonlinear kinematic depth inversion method and a phase‐averaged spectral wave model to evaluate the influence of wave nonlinearity over gently sloping nearshore bathymetry. Time‐resolved wave imagery provides spatially varying frequency–wavenumber fields, whereas the simulated significant wave ...

Dealing With Inbuilt Age: A Bayesian Approach to Radiocarbon Dating of Rice, Bamboo and Charcoal From Non Ban Jak, Thailand

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 811-817, August 2026.
ABSTRACT New radiocarbon determinations from rice grains and bamboo have been obtained from Non Ban Jak, Northeast Thailand. These, along with charcoal, date a late Iron Age building sequence. The results come from short‐lived species and charcoal with potential inbuilt age. We built a series of Bayesian models to obtain a reliable chronology.

Calculation method of spatial effect and safety factor of V-shaped gully embankment

Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development
V-shaped gully embankment presents unique spatial effect due to special terrain. To study the impact of terrain factors, to shore side Angle, groove width, high embankment fill, trailing edge slope and frontal slope factor as control variable, and gray ...

Seismic Risk of Critical Transport Systems: Sensitivity Analysis of the Campania Railway Network to Bradyseism's Features

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of epistemic uncertainties on the seismic risk of a critical transport system, the Campania railway network, during the ongoing bradyseismic unrest at Campi Flegrei, south of Italy. Seismic risk is quantified as the length of the railway requiring post‐event inspection, an operational proxy for service disruption.
