Karst, GIS and geological hazard planning and management in Great Britain [PDF]

, 2010
The British Geological Survey (BGS) database of karst features for the United Kingdom include dolines, cave entrances, stream sinks, resurgences and building damage; data for approximately half of the country has so far been gathered.

A Shape Optimization Approach for Inferring Sources of Volcano Ground Deformation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract One of the main goals of volcano geodesy is to improve the understanding of how an increase in pressure related to magma accumulation causes ground deformation in order to evaluate volcanic unrest. The inversion methods used for this purpose rely on a parametrization of the shape of the crustal volume in which pressure changes due to magma ...

An automated approach for developing geohazard inventories using news: integrating natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and mapping [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Spatiotemporal inventories of geohazards are essential for comprehending the building of resilient societies; yet, restricted access to global inventories hinders the advancement of mitigation strategies.

Cordilleran Ice Sheet early deglaciation inferred from evolution of Late‐Pleistocene glacial Lake Dzulh Stun in east‐central British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 452-472, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We document the early decay of the Late‐Pleistocene Cordilleran Ice Sheet in the central portion of the Rocky and Cariboo Mountains and the Rocky Mountain Trench in east‐central British Columbia. Glacial lakes impounded at the eastern margin of the ice sheet occupied watersheds on the west flank of the central Rocky Mountains, leaving ...

Permafrost Mass Wasting in Ice‐Rich Landscapes: Recent Advances (2013 to 2024) on Mechanisms, Dynamics and Impacts

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 284-304, April/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...

Permafrost Terrain Disturbance Susceptibility in the Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) Watershed, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 203-226, April/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) watershed in central Yukon (Canada) is characterized by discontinuous permafrost that is locally highly sensitive to thaw. This study aims to map the spatial distribution of permafrost terrain disturbances (PTDs) in the watershed and model thaw susceptibility to support community‐led land‐use planning by the
