New partial skeleton of Homo habilis from the upper Burgi Member, Koobi Fora Formation, Ileret, Kenya

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 485-545, March 2026.
Abstract KNM‐ER 64061 is a partial skeleton from the upper Burgi Member of the Koobi Fora Formation (2.02–2.06 Ma) associated taphonomically and geochemically with a nearly complete mandibular dentition (KNM‐ER 64060) attributed to Homo habilis.

Effects of confinement on rock mass modulus: A synthetic rock mass modelling (SRM) study

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2018
The main objective of this paper is to examine the influence of the applied confining stress on the rock mass modulus of moderately jointed rocks (well interlocked undisturbed rock mass with blocks formed by three or less intersecting joints).

Application of RMR89–NATM Rock Mass Classification for Tunnel Design: A Case Study From Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, India

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
The Bilaspur region lies in a highly seismic zone, requiring special attention for infrastructure development like tunnel construction. Rock strength in the area is low, posing challenges for stable tunnel design. RMR values range from 21 to 30, categorizing the rock mass as Poor, requiring robust support measures.

Tunnel-excavation-induced permeability change of rock mass around a radioactive waste repository tunnel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Upon completion, the National Radioactive Waste Repository in Bátaapáti will provide safe storage for low- and medium-level radioactive waste. The emplacement chambers were excavated in a fractured, blocky, granitic rock mass approximately 240 m below ...

Data‐Driven Satellite Drag Modeling Without Dynamic Knowledge of the Atmosphere

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Increasing congestion in low Earth orbit (LEO) from new satellite deployments and a growing debris population has made accurate orbital trajectory prediction essential for anticipating and avoiding potential collisions on a regular basis. Atmospheric drag is usually the dominant source of propagation error across much of LEO, especially during

A Multisensor Remote Sensing Approach to Archaeological Prospection: Integrating UAV and Google Earth Data in the Bayan Gol Valley, Mongolia

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 109-130, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effectiveness of drone‐based remote sensing and Google Earth satellite imagery for archaeological prospection in the Bayan Gol Valley, Central Mongolia. Utilizing a fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with RGB and multispectral sensors, we surveyed 655 ha to document Mongol‐period settlement structures

Method for evaluation of geological strength index of carbonate cliff rocks: Coupled hyperspectral-digital borehole image technique

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The deterioration of unstable rock mass raised interest in evaluating rock mass quality. However, the traditional evaluation method for the geological strength index (GSI) primarily emphasizes the rock structure and characteristics of discontinuities. It
