Building‐Scale Flood Hazard Modelling for Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Flooding is among the most frequent natural hazards threatening cultural heritage sites, yet current flood hazard studies often operate at urban or regional scales. While building‐scale damage models exist, they generally rely on flood depth inputs from large‐scale inundation models, inputs that may fail to capture the internal complexity of ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Changes in seismic properties can help assess slope damage, which is influenced by external factors such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, air pressure, and local seismicity. However, the contributions of these factors, and how the dominant factor modulates transient and seasonal seismic velocity changes (δv/v $\delta v/v$), remain ...

Fossil Hegemony and Capitalist Realism in Tropic of Orange
Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines Karen Tei Yamashita's Tropic of Orange (1997) through the lens of Mark Fisher's influential concept ‘capitalist realism’. Scholars of petrofiction have pointed to a political ambivalence in the representation of fossil fuels, where a better understanding of fossil capital can overwhelm as much as galvanize.

Supporting interventions to lessen human–wildlife conflict
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1100-1116, May 2026.Abstract Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) around protected areas endangers lives and damages livelihoods. It also erodes support for conservation. Yet most mitigation efforts fail to gain the sustained community support needed for long‐term success. We drew on 758 one‐to‐one semi‐structured interviews, supplemented by focus groups, practitioner interviews
