Rethinking Potential Flood Damage Assessment: A Data‐Driven Alternative to Varnes‐Based Models

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Reducing flood damage is a key challenge for both administrators and communities, particularly in the face of increasing climate‐related impacts. A fundamental prerequisite for effective damage reduction is a detailed understanding of the spatial distribution of territorial susceptibility to flood damage.

Adding the Farmer Domain to Aquifer Recharge: Insights From Smallholder Farmers' Natural Water Retention Measures in the Danube–Tisza Interfluve, Hungary

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper describes and analyzes recharge practices in Bács‐Kiskun County, Hungary, within what can be categorized as the farmer domain. Such locally embedded aquifer recharge practices remain underexplored in Hungary. Current research and funding largely focus on large‐scale Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) interventions emphasizing intended ...

Intelligent Monitoring and Warning for Road‐Network Tunnels Via Feature Matching

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
To address the safety issues in mountain tunnel construction, an early warning model integrating association rules and text vectorization feature matching was developed. The validation on two tunnels demonstrated that this model can accurately predict accident types and actively identify risks, providing support for dynamic safety management and the ...

Improving predictions of insect harassment for barren‐ground caribou in the Arctic

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Many populations of barren‐ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus) have declined or are declining, which is concerning given their ecological role in Arctic ecosystems and their societal role in northern communities. Insect harassment is an important driver of the behavior, energetics, and demographic rates of caribou, and yet, due to challenges in

Multi‐Source Hydrogeological Investigation, Water Inflow Prediction, and Water–Mud Inrush Risk Zoning for a Strongly Karstified Limestone Tunnel: A Case Study of the Dongyang Tunnel

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Multi‐source hydrogeological investigation identified widespread karst cavities and water‐bearing fractured zones along the Dongyang Tunnel. Comparative inflow prediction yielded a conservative design control value of 1557.61 m3/day, supporting section‐specific water–mud inrush zoning and targeted drilling, grouting, controlled drainage, and ...

Major and Rapid Morphodynamic Changes to an Unvegetated Cay Under Typical Weather Conditions: Taylor Cay, Central Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study characterises the morphological response of an unvegetated cay within the Great Barrier Reef to changes in hydrodynamic conditions by way of migration, planimetric and elevation change. Quantifying this change is important to inform conservation management for ecosystem services.

Analysing Large‐Scale Patterns of Linear Dune Morphology and Their Environmental Controls in the South‐Western Kalahari

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
Novel, semi‐automated techniques enable the mapping and analysis of dune morphology and its potential environmental controls across the south‐western Kalahari's extensive linear dune field. Relationships between morphometrics and controls vary regionally, for example, the effect of valleys on main dune orientation or orientational variability ...
