Information Supply Chain Gaps for Hard‐to‐Reach Communities: A Solution‐Oriented Framework From Weather Service Insights

Community Science, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Despite advancements in forecasting and warning technologies, some communities still face barriers to accessing essential weather and climate information. These gaps disproportionately affect individuals with limited digital access, unstable housing, or limited English proficiency, leading to uneven impacts during high‐impact weather events ...

The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 581-594, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Affordable Chinese copies of Western brands are ubiquitous in African markets. Despite democratizing consumer access, these goods appear to cement hegemonic value hierarchies that rank Chinese or local products as inferior to Western goods.

Floods From Space: How Remote Sensing, AI, and Cloud Platforms Are Reshaping Disaster Risk Reduction

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most damaging climate‐related hazards globally, yet flood remote sensing has historically developed largely along sensor‐specific pathways. This review addresses the need for a systematic and decision‐oriented synthesis of how space‐borne remote sensing has evolved toward integrated flood monitoring and disaster ...

Diagnosing Post‐Wildfire Flood Governance Gaps Through a Values–Rules–Knowledge Lens: A Case Study From Kineta, Greece

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Post‐wildfire flash floods are an escalating climate‐driven hazard. Advanced technical modelling can now inform impact assessments and evaluate interventions to mitigate these risks, yet such analyses are often not supported by adequate governance frameworks to facilitate the implementation of the proposed solutions.

Making Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Work for Multiple Users: Improving the Design of FIM for Decision Support

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Visualizing and communicating flood inundation depth and extent can be valuable for informing decisions related to flood preparedness and disaster response. In the United States, several different types of flood inundation mapping (FIM) exist and a new National Water Model (NWM) FIM product is being rolled out across the country (expected to ...

Boundary‐Aware Physical Constraints Refine Satellite Precipitation Occurrence Over the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Over complex terrain, hourly precipitation occurrence estimates are often distorted by weak, persistent, and mistimed wet hours that are poorly constrained by independent time‐step classification. Using 1,232 hourly gauge records over the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP), we develop a boundary‐aware physical‐constraint framework that learns ...

Cellulose as a Platform for Biodegradable Metasurfaces: THz Characterization and Fabrication

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
The demand for sustainable THz technologies has motivated the development of biodegradable, flexible devices based on ethyl cellulose. Metal‐backed EC metasurfaces were analytically designed and fabricated to achieve near‐perfect THz absorption. Reflection‐mode THz spectroscopy confirmed resonant absorption at 0.576 and 0.411 THz, demonstrating the ...

Habitat selection of Meriones hurrianae in the Thar Desert: Integrating land cover, shrubs, and predators

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding the ecological and anthropogenic drivers of habitat selection in native species is critical for biodiversity conservation, particularly in arid ecosystems experiencing rapid land use change. We investigated the burrow density and occurrence of the Indian desert gerbil in the Thar Desert.

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 855-870, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop
