Cold hardiness mechanisms and modeling: existing approaches and future avenues

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Cold hardiness models are useful tools to predict cold damage in plants, such as those produced by unseasonal temperature cycles or by increased cold exposure. Although development of these models started about five decades ago, their applications remain limited.

Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Seismic Performance and Generalized Damage Risk of Modular Cross Laminated Timber Houses Across Ten United States Cities

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 687-703, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Housing shortages in the United States and the pursuit of sustainable and resilient communities have positioned cross‐laminated timber (CLT) housing as a promising alternative due to the ability to design for modularity, ease of construction, and low embodied carbon performance.

A 2D Approach to Predict the High‐Cycle Fatigue Life of Clinched Joints

open access: yesPAMM, Volume 26, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinching is a widely adopted joining technique in the automotive industry, enabling the fabrication of lightweight structures from dissimilar sheet materials. Accurate prediction of the fatigue life of clinched joints is essential for ensuring structural safety and minimizing development costs.

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

Irreversible Transitions of the Ocean Circulation in Antarctic Ice‐Shelf Cavities

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Ice shelves fringing the Antarctic continent experience low or high basal melt rates depending on local shelf conditions, ocean circulation and intensity of ice‐sea‐air exchanges. Recent studies have uncovered potential cold‐to‐warm transitions in specific ice‐shelf cavities, which could lead to a dramatic increase in sea‐level rise.

Leveraging Laboratory Experiments of Shoreline Response to Sea‐Level Rise: A Beach Disequilibrium Perspective

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract This study analyzes laboratory data of beach response to sea‐level rise (SLR), isolating shoreline changes driven by passive flooding (PF) of the beach and consequent wave‐driven processes. The disequilibrium concept relates shoreline change to instantaneous and equilibrium beach states. While PF shifts the shoreline geometrically, SLR induces
