Climate Oscillation and Fault Slip Rate Control Sediment Aggradation and Channel Morphology Along Strike‐Slip Faults

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Strike‐slip faults act as landscape change agents, offsetting rivers, driving river capture, and generating hillslope responses. In this study, inspired by the hyperarid Atacama Fault System in Chile, we use numerical models to investigate how landscapes that experience oscillatory dry and humid periods respond to strike‐slip faulting at ...

Commentary: The missing sabertooth baculum—At what point might the absence of evidence reasonably be considered evidence of absence?

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 3053-3062, November 2025.
Abstract Most carnivorans and all modern felids have ossified bacula; however, no machairodont baculum has ever been identified. This is true despite the many fairly complete skeletons found around the world of several sabertooth taxa. Although the bacula of modern felids are much smaller than those of canoids (even the least weasel's baculum is longer

Effects of Wildlife Feces on Soil Properties and Microbiota in the Recovery Processes of Damaged Natural Ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our findings provide a robust basis for future studies focused on revealing the mechanisms of animal–plant–soil interactions during the restoration of damaged ecosystems. Moreover, this study provides an example reference for guiding ecosystem restoration practices and makes up for the shortcomings of current research to promote the improvement of ...

Experimental Characterization of a Full‐Scale Stair System Detailed to Achieve Seismic Resiliency

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 14, Page 3519-3540, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Stair systems are the primary means of egress in and out of a building during and after an earthquake. Therefore, it is essential to detail these critical nonstructural systems such that they remain operable during and after an earthquake of moderate to high levels of intensity.

New Perspectives in Causal Relationships Between the Response of a Rocking Block and Intensity Measures via Ensemble Machine Learning Methodologies

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 14, Page 3576-3593, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the ability of machine learning (ML) to characterise the response of rocking structures when subjected to recorded earthquakes. In particular, it uses the structural parameters of a rigid block and strong ground motion characteristics to train two random forest (RF) models.

Probabilistic Seismic Performance Assessment of an RC Bridge Considering Corrosion‐Affected Bond‐Slip and Steel Bar Buckling

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 14, Page 3594-3609, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete (RC) bridges are designed to remain safe and functional for their lifetime, during which the impacts of aging may result in performance degradation. Steel bar corrosion is one of the most common causes of structural performance degradation in RC structures subjected to earthquakes in seismic‐prone areas.

Kinematic Limit Analysis of Roof Stability for Elliptical Tunnels in Rock Masses

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 49, Issue 16, Page 3880-3896, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Noncircular cross‐sections are commonly encountered in engineering practice; however, primary attempts to analyze roof stability have focused on circular and rectangular configurations. This study investigates the roof stability of elliptical tunnels with varying aspect ratios, employing two semi‐analytical approaches: piecewise linear and ...

A Multimodal Interactive Framework for Science Assessment in the Era of Generative Artificial Intelligence

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2014-2028, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The rapid evolution of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is transforming science education by facilitating innovative pedagogical paradigms while raising substantial concerns about scholarly integrity. One particularly pressing issue is the growing risk of student use of GenAI tools to outsource assessment tasks, potentially ...

GNSS and InSAR Integration for 3‐D Crustal Deformation in California and Western Nevada

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The regions of California and Nevada are shaped by dynamic tectonic and hydrologic processes that drive significant crustal deformation. In this study we use the method of Shen and Liu (2020), https://doi.org/10.1029/2019ea001036 to integrate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR ...
