Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Late Pliocene–Quaternary Arc Volcanism at the Southern Limit of the Hikurangi Subduction Zone: Revised Chronology of the Taranaki Peninsula, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Igneous centres across the Taranaki Peninsula represent the southwestern limit of arc volcanism associated with the Tonga–Kermadec–Hikurangi subduction system. Taranaki Maunga, the youngest and largest of three andesitic stratovolcanoes, dominates the geomorphology of the Taranaki Peninsula along with the eroded remnants of the Kaitake and Pouakai ...

Science Needs for a Terrestrial Biosphere Tipping Point Early Warning System

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Tipping points in the Earth system have the potential to cause major detrimental impacts to the biosphere and societies. Their inherent nonlinearity implies that even relatively small additional increases in external forcing might result in disproportionately large adjustments to components of the Earth system.

Toward an Indigenous Curatorial Practice: Learning From Tłı̨chǫ Metaphors of Care to Establish Principles of Curation

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 4, Page 792-808, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The displacement of items of cultural heritage from Indigenous communities is continually perpetuated through their appropriation into collection systems that are inappropriate to Indigenous laws and customs. This paper presents the efforts of the Tłı̨chǫ Government (TG) to address such issues by creating a system that is rooted within its ...

A Robust AHP–GIS Based Flood Susceptibility Mapping Using Stochastic Hill‐Climbing Algorithm

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the most frequent and devastating natural hazards affecting urban areas globally, leading to considerable social, economic, and environmental impacts. In the present study, a novel framework for flood susceptibility mapping is proposed using the stochastic Hill‐Climbing (SHC) method in the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP ...

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.

Lithospheric‐Scale Martian Tectonic Deformation: Defining the Strength Profile Through Parameter Testing

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 22, 28 November 2026.
Abstract We incorporate recent data constraints from the 2018 InSight mission into two rheology yielding mechanisms to calculate the plastic (brittle) and viscous (ductile) yield stresses for 30 potential lithospheric scenarios of the Martian lithosphere.

GIS–TOPSIS assessment of soil and water constraints on sunflower in arid Algeria

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
Abstract Identifying land capable of sustaining oilseed crops under increasing aridity is central to strengthening agricultural resilience in North African drylands. We developed a statistically validated, spatially explicit land‑suitability framework that integrates geographic information systems (GIS) with the technique for order preference by ...
