Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Conservation Agriculture Improves Soil Resilience by Integrating Physical, Chemical, and Biological Pathways

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Conservation agriculture significantly enhances soil resilience in tropical agroecosystems, especially in semiarid areas characterized by high degradation susceptibility, mostly related to the occurrence of shallow soils and increasing climate stress.

Comprehensive Analysis for the Evaluation of Torrential Floods and Slope Stability of River Channels: La China River Area (Colombia)

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Colombia and other tropical regions face a very high threat from torrential floods, which have resulted in over 25,000 deaths in a single event. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive assessment methodology to zone and determine the magnitude of these disasters; therefore, this research aims to help fill this gap.

Thermo‐Mechanical Topology Optimization: An Immersed FEM Level‐Set‐Based Approach

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a multi‐physics framework for topology optimization using an immersed level set‐finite element model. The work extends the capabilities of a recently developed immersed level‐set method to thermo‐mechanical problems, including coupling and material‐dependent properties.

Probabilistic Seismic Stability Analysis of Pile Reinforced Slope Using Modified Pseudo Dynamic Method Based on Modified Response Surfaces Approach

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
A probabilistic analysis framework for the seismic stability of pile‐reinforced slopes is developed by coupling the modified pseudo‐dynamic method with the response surface approach, enabling a more accurate estimation of the factor of safety and failure probability.

Strategic Risk Assessment of High‐Speed Rail Development in India Using an Integrated SWOT–Fuzzy DEMATEL Framework

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
High‐speed rail projects involve complex technical, financial, environmental, and regulatory challenges. This study proposes an integrated SWOT–Fuzzy DEMATEL framework to systematically identify and analyze the interactions among strategic factors affecting HSR development in India.
