Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 3229-3248, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Reactivation Mechanism of Dormant Earthflows: Insights From the San Benedetto Landslide (Northern Apennines, Italy)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Earthflows are landslides in fine‐grained materials that alternate long dormant phases of very slow movement with short paroxysmal stages of rapid motion. These rapid phases are highly destructive, often causing severe damage to buildings and infrastructure.

Analysis of Dam Characteristics and Failure Trend of Landslide Dams With Different Materials: Field Investigation

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Landslides can block rivers and create natural dams that pose significant flooding hazards to upstream and downstream. Variations in dam materials and geometries play a critical role in controlling breach initiation and failure processes, thereby complicating failure assessment.

Three‐Dimensional Characterization of Lateral Subsurface Flow in an Alpine Forested Hillslope on the Tibetan Plateau Using Time‐Lapse Electrical Resistivity Tomography

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Lateral subsurface flow (LSF) is a key component of rainfall‐runoff generation on alpine forested slopes, but the influence of weathered bedrock on LSF remains poorly understood due to methodological constraints in monitoring three‐dimensional flow dynamics. This study addresses this gap by proposing a standardized morphological interpretation

Exploring Potential Mechanisms for the Initiation of Solifluction Patterns

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Hillslopes in arctic regions commonly display large‐scale features—known as solifluction patterns—that form due to the exceedingly slow downhill movement of frost‐heaved soil. Here we use a combination of remote sensing data, linear stability analysis, numerical modeling, and review of a wide range of literature to evaluate several working ...

Application of Neural Networks for Moon Near‐Surface Velocity‐Model Extraction

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 5, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Characterizing the shallow lunar subsurface is essential for future exploration activities, including landing‐site assessment, infrastructure construction and subsurface resource investigation. However, conventional seismic approaches for near‐surface characterization commonly depend on prior velocity information and assumptions regarding the ...

Land Subsidence Susceptibility Mapping in Semi‐Arid Regions Using PS‐InSAR and Tree‐Based Ensemble Machine Learning: A Case Study From Çumra, Türkiye

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Land subsidence is an increasing environmental hazard in semi‐arid agricultural basins where intensive groundwater abstraction, compressible geological units, and expanding land‐use pressures interact. This study presents a PS‐InSAR and machine‐learning‐based framework for land subsidence susceptibility mapping in the Çumra District of the ...

Soil Crack Width Controls Preferential Flow Velocity Through Drag Partitioning

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Preferential flow within soil cracks influences land surface hydrological processes, yet direct quantifying preferential flow velocity (PFV) remains challenging. Here, we develop a method for high‐resolution monitoring and quantifying PFV in soil cracks using optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR).
