Evaluating the Potential of ChatGPT to Support Climate Risk and Adaptation Assessment

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2025.
Scaling up adaptation is essential for addressing climate risks, but there are no globally applicable, sector‐based inventories of adaptation options. Assistive technologies like ChatGPT can help with the rapid scoping of climate risks, adaptation actions, costs and benefits and flag potential maladaptation. Adaptation measures identified for national (

Behavior of Geotextile Reinforced Sand on Weak Subgrade

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2000
The use of nonwoven geotextiles in unpaved roads provides at least two basic contributions, namely separation and reinforcement functions, therefore reducing rutting and maintenance cost and greatly improves the overall performance of reinforced unpaved ...

Trajectories of river channel adjustments from nonequilibrium to equilibrium: Rate law evaluation using sand‐bed flume data

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
Anthropogenic, climatic, and tectonic forces have altered many river systems, yet predicting subsequent channel morphology adjustments remains a formidable challenge. Using sand‐bed flume data, this study evaluates the applicability of the rate law in describing channel‐bed elevation adjustments from aggradation to equilibrium.

Using H‐Convergence to Calculate the Numerical Errors for 1D Unsaturated Seepage in Transient Conditions

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 49, Issue 18, Page 4400-4411, 25 December 2025.
ABSTRACT Numerical modeling plays a pivotal role in understanding transient unsaturated flow, which is critical for applications such as groundwater recharge, stormwater management, and contaminant transport. This study investigates the effect of time step refinement on numerical solutions for a vertical infiltration 1D test in a vertical column. First,

An experimental study on the influence of low - cement content on improved filling characteristics of geotextile bags filled with fine tailings slurry

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials
Constructing dams with geotextile bags filled with fine tailings can overcome the shortage of sand and gravel resources for dam construction. In addition, it can also prevent safety hazards caused by the deposition of fine tailings in tailings reservoirs.
