The evolution of pore fluid pressure ( Pf$P_{\mathrm{f}}$) in the most seaward portion of a subduction accretionary prism plays an essential role in the cycle of tsunamigenic earthquakes. Based on recent geophysical observations, here we propose a testable conceptual model for this evolution for northern Cascadia offshore of Washington.

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

Macroplastic and other types of macroscopic anthropogenic litter (AL; trash, particles > 5 mm) are pervasive across ecosystems, persistent in the environment, increasing in abundance, and can degrade into microplastics (particles < 5 mm). Rivers retain and transform AL prior to export downstream, but improved predictions of AL distribution and movement

ABSTRACT The intricate corrosion environment necessitates the polymeric coating's adaptability to the surroundings. In this work, the integration of rare‐earth Ce(III) ions and ethylene diamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (EDTMP) in a layered double hydroxide (LDH) material is developed to enhance the corrosion protection and anti‐wear properties of

Geomorphic Responses to Post‐Grazing Recovery and Stream Restoration in Semiarid Grassland Streams
ABSTRACT Semiarid grassland streams are sensitive to land use, climate, extreme discharges, and internal geomorphic thresholds that drive episodic erosion. Rooted in a process‐based philosophy and commonly applied to historically wood‐rich, beaver‐modified systems, low‐tech process‐based restoration using structures is increasingly being extended to ...

ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

The Baltimore Community Weather Station Network: Filling the Urban Measurement Desert
Abstract Quantification and understanding of how heat, rainfall, and air quality vary within cities are needed to identify the area with the worst conditions, develop solutions to extreme weather, and assess the impact of proposed policies. However, neighborhood‐level variability is not well quantified because there are few environmental measurement ...

Amplification of Flood Hazard and Damage by Compounding Pluvial and Fluvial Flooding
Abstract Flood risk management has traditionally treated fluvial and pluvial flooding in isolation, for example, by producing inundation maps separately for each flood type. Here, we develop an integrated modeling framework capable of capturing the interplay of both flood types when they co‐occur.

Escalating Hydroclimatic Extremes and Volatility in the UK Under 2°C and 4°C Warming
Abstract Hydrological extremes, including both floods and droughts, are projected to intensify under global warming, yet their joint evolution and variability across temperate catchments remain underexplored. This study uses bias‐corrected regional climate projections from the UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) and a distributed HBV‐TYN hydrological ...
